SUSTAINABILITY SPOTLIGHT


to modern cement, concrete, pre-cast and mortar technology.


These solutions form an integral element


of CEMEX´s broader Future in Action strategy to be a net zero CO2 company by 2050. Use of CEMEX’s bio-sourced admixtures can significantly enhance the sustainable performance of several applications: 


ISOPLAST BIO: concrete plasticiser that


achieves higher levels of workability with the same water content, enabling a carbon reduction of up to 10%. ISOFLEX BIO: concrete plasticisers and superplasticisers that reduce carbon and water use by up to 20-30%. ISOFLOW BIO: high-performance superplasticiser technology for ready-mix concrete producers, enabling water and carbon reductions of up to 50% in concrete mix designs. 


ISOMILL BIO: grinding aids and cement enhancers that provide a significant carbon reduction of up to 10%, higher process efficiency, and enhanced strength. The admixtures will be launched across CEMEX’s markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia and will roll out to other markets


in the coming months. This new range is part of CEMEX’s portfolio of Vertua building solutions with enhanced sustainability attributes. These bio-sourced admixtures solutions will enable key innovations that will accelerate the construction industry’s purposeful journey towards ensuring sustainable urbanisation – by reducing carbon footprint, improving the efficiency of production processes, optimising


the use of resources (energy, water, raw materials) and enhancing the performance of materials that will foster new construction methods and lead to smart cities. For even greater eco-efficiency and reduced emissions, these admixtures can be combined with other solutions from CEMEX´s broader Vertua concrete range.


Marcelo Catalá, CEMEX EMEA VP of Urbanisation Solutions commented: “CEMEX’s


new range of bio-sourced admixtures are an exciting development that utilise locally-available raw materials. This not only contributes to a circular economy but offers a considerably reduced carbon footprint because of the local sourcing and transportation of these raw materials. All of this is achieved thanks to a specialised production process which ensures this range enhances the high performance expected of our admixture solutions.” BMJ
