Reduce carbon, increase performance
Neocrete's additive boosts the reactivity of SCMs (inc fly ash, GGBS, slag and natural pozzolans), enabling lower clinker/cement, carbon and cost.
​​
We are now selling our latest generation Activator in South East Asia and New Zealand, and are in testing programmes with concrete makers, cement companies, ash beneficiators and energy companies across the UK/EU.
Boosts reactivity of SCMs and cement
​​
Enables more SCMs, less cement, carbon, cost
Make concrete more durable and watertight
​
Accelerate early strength for precast industry
​
​
Reduce cement content and carbon footprint
Neocrete's additive Activator is added at just 2-4% of cementitious materials.
By multiplying active bonding molecules and accelerating chemical reactions, Neocrete increases early and ultimate strength, while creating a tighter microstructure and durability.
​​
Our R&D programme is on track to create carbon neutral concrete by 2027, with no loss in strength and with greater durability than conventional concrete.

Increase strength
Neocrete Activator accelerates the strength setting of concrete. Independent testing shows an increase in day 1 strength of 70-140% and significantly earlier achievement of 28 day strength.
​
This is why D5 Green, our previous generation activator, was chosen for projects where developers needed to considerably decrease the period of construction or remove formworks early.
​
The new generation additive activator, made in New Zealand, is more potent and efficient than previous generations, and achieves higher early and ultimate strength.

Make concrete more durable and watertight
Neocrete's additive creates concrete with a tighter microstructutre. This makes is watertight and resistant to seawater - critical in a world increasingly impacted by floods, rising sea levels and other impacts of climate change.
​
Neocrete's previous generation activator D5 Green is BRANZ appraised for enhanced durability and water tightness.

Improved self-healing microcracks
Neocrete, just like Roman concrete, self-heals microcracks.
If through cracks (up to 0.5mm) appear in Neocrete due to external impacts, and water enters these cracks, Neocrete will self-heal without human intervention. This property has been achieved in the lab, and small scale trials, but is yet to be independently assessed by a certifying body.
