Engineered efficiency: unlock more value from your SCMs

Neocrete has developed a new type of additive that boosts the performance of abundant, low quality supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), increasing their use, reducing cost and carbon per MPa.

How it works

Neocrete is a new dry powder multi-mechanism additive that boosts the performance of poor quality SCMs. It does this in four key ways:

Molecular activation

Activates dormant cement and pozzolanic particles, increasing the number of active molecules available for bonding.

Water reduction

Delays early hydration reactions.

Reaction acceleration

Accelerates cement hydration and pozzolanic reactions.

Densifying microstructure

Increases the density of molecular bonds.

Molecular activation

Benefit

More active bonds mean less cementitious material is required to achieve the same strength.

Impact

Activates dormant cement and pozzolanic particles, increasing the number of active molecules available for bonding.

Water reduction

Benefit

Reduces the free water that does not participate in chemical reactions, thus improving strength and durability.

MATERIALS WE BOOST

Neocrete boosts the performance of all cementitious and pozzolanic materials and limestone.

Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS)

A by-product of iron and steel making, ground to a fine powder and used as a low-carbon cement replacement.

Fly ash

A fine ash captured from coal combustion, widely used as a low-carbon supplementary cementitious material.

Calcined clays

Clays such as kaolinite, thermally activated so they react as a supplementary cementitious material.

Portland cement

The conventional binder in concrete, made by heating limestone and clay in a kiln, the main source of cement carbon.

Natural pozzolans

Silica-rich volcanic and sedimentary materials that improve long-term concrete strength and durability.

Proven technology

Neocrete is being poured at scale today in real-life infrastructure projects in Southeast Asia. It is made under strict quality standards.
