Elemix® additive is a Lightweight Synthetic Particle (LSP) used as a partial replacement for conventional normalweight or lightweight aggregate to reduce the weight of concrete. By reducing the weight of the flooring systems for a multi-story building, there is a reduction in the total steel required to support the building. This reduction in steel equates to a total reduction in cost of materials for the project.
In precast concrete, weight reduction equates to more precast elements on a truck, thus reducing the number of deliveries required and improving the impact on the environment. When designed in a low-density concrete, Elemix additive can support a green roof or wall system that reduces the heat island effect, potentially improving energy consumption in structures. Moreover, recent studies show that Elemix additive improves resistance to cracking and fire, and adds durability to freeze-thaw, all of which adds up to better life-cycle performance.
Improved resistance to cracking and fire; ease of placement; and durability to freezing and thawing.
The number of projects and applications in which Elemix concrete additive is used continues to grow.
We are rethinking the way concrete is manufactured and helping people build smarter.
