- Product brands: Calcitec® and PremiaCal® (depends on the country).
Benefits
- Improved flowability
- Improved pumpability
- Consistency in water absorption
- Optimized water-cement ratio
- Minimized admixtures costs

- Reduced carbon footprint of concrete
Dedicated solutions for your specific needs
Filler materials are becoming increasingly popular. They are also becoming very important, because they help to increase some of the mix properties in concrete. Moreover, they reduce the need to use binders, which are usually more expensive. Some certified products are recognized as supplementary cementitious materials, allowing concrete producers to reduce their cement consumption and carbon footprint.
Type of concrete where Calcitec® or PremiaCal® is used:
- Conventional concrete - slump varying between S1 and S5.
- Self-compacting-concrete.
- Semi-dry concrete.
