Cement and Concrete Additive Companies

January 2023

Global supplier CEMEX today revealed the official debut of its newest product innovation—a range of bio-sourced admixtures solutions created for a smaller carbon footprint—as it works to offer its customers the most environmentally friendly and industry-leading building materials solutions currently available on the market. This new generation of admixtures uses a raw material that is natural, renewable, and easily accessible locally.

To improve properties like strength, workability, and water demand, additives are added to concrete mixes. This lowers the carbon footprint and encourages more environmentally friendly construction methods. Thanks to a distinctive production technique, CEMEX Admixtures is the first company in the sector to achieve these qualities while utilising bio-based raw materials.

The use of bio-sourced admixtures from CEMEX can greatly improve the sustainability of a number of applications, such as ISOMILL BIO, which are cement enhancers and grinding aids. These offer a large carbon reduction of up to 10%, improved strength, and improved process efficiency.

The Federal Ministry of Works and Housing (FMWH) in Nigeria has authorised the use of the Roadcem brand of road cement, according to Lafarge Africa Plc, a leading provider of building solutions.

The product improves the strength and bearing capacity of roads, thins out the pavement structure, and changes the chemical and mineral composition of soil components all while being environmentally benign. The accessible soil in Nigeria varies greatly in terms of quality across the nation. It is difficult to ensure homogeneous quality when dirt is excavated, placed, and compacted using conventional techniques.
