Industry news on dry-mix mortar, concrete, cellulose ether, and more; company news; raw material news; and other updates.
Chemical stability is a necessary condition for defoamers, so defoamers in foaming systems generally do not fail due to chemical reactions. Most of the reasons for their failure are caused by changes in the dispersion state. Only by eliminating this cause can the effectiveness of the defoamer be fully exerted. 1. The defoamer particles have … Continue reading

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have pioneered a 3D concrete printing method that captures and stores carbon dioxide, marking a major step toward reducing the construction industry’s environmental footprint. The innovative technique offers a promising solution to mitigate cement’s massive carbon emissions. The process works by integrating CO₂ and steam—byproducts of industrial … Continue reading
High-performance concrete is concrete with excellent workability, mechanical properties and durability that is made to meet the specific requirements of construction projects using high-quality conventional raw materials and an optimised mix design, through green production methods and strict construction measures. As an important green building material, the promotion and application of high-performance concrete in infrastructure … Continue reading
A private-public partnership has paved a section of Minnesota road with an experimental low-carbon concrete mixture that resulted in greater strength and lesser cement use, saving money and carbon. Concrete and its most important ingredient, cement, is one of the most carbon-intensive industries on Earth because it’s used so often in construction. It has virtually … Continue reading
