Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

BASF’s Construction Chemicals division introduced at the end of October 2007 its Smart Dynamic ConstructionTM concept, which allows the readymix industry to reach increased energy efficiency, higher concrete durability and better construction process economy in order to reduce CO2 emissions and save time and money. This concept is suitable for upgrading S4 and S5 concretes to a higher performance level, with self-compacting characteristics and the same ease of production as standard concrete. In fact, it creates a new concrete generation which combines the benefits of traditionally vibrated concrete with those of selfcompacting concrete, is easy to produce and robust in everyday use.
