Better concrete that doesn't cost the earth.

We boost the performance of your low-performing SCMs, so you can use more of them and lower your cost and carbon per MPa.

Our why

Concrete is the most-used material on earth after water. But the way we make it has to change, because making cement, its binder, creates 8% of global carbon emissions.

Who We Help

Concrete Producers

Cement Manufacturers

Pozzolan Suppliers

Get more from the SCMs you already have.

Impact

We can boost SCM performance by 15 to 40%, enabling total cement reductions of up to 80%, depending on the material. The result is a lower cost and lower carbon per MPa, with no trade-off on strength.

Solution

Neocrete is a SCM performance booster. Its high surface charge particles activate the dormant pozzolans in low-performing SCMs, so that they match the performance of Portland cement and you can replace more of it.

Problem

Reliable SCMs such as slag and consistent fly ash are becoming scarce and expensive. The low-cost, local alternatives underperform, capping out at 10 to 15% replacement before strength, set and durability fall away. Producers cover the gap with extra cement, which erodes the saving that drive the switch.

Technology

Neocrete is a new kind of additive that boosts the performance of low-cost, abundant, low-performing SCMs so they can replace more cement, with no extra processing.
