The use of materials recovered from demolition and damaged structures is becoming one of the most promising and essential trends in the construction industry. Recycled aggregates and other reclaimed mineral materials help optimize the use of natural resources while supporting efficient reconstruction projects.
At the same time, these aggregates have specific characteristics that may affect the properties of concrete mixtures, including higher water absorption, non-uniform particle grading, and reduced workability stability. This is why selecting the right concrete admixture is essential.
Our technical specialists have developed the new COMPLEX K-20 admixture, specifically designed for the production of concrete mixtures containing recycled materials. The admixture provides effective water reduction, improves workability, promotes strength development, and helps optimize cement consumption without compromising the performance of hardened concrete.
For concrete producers, this means the ability to use recycled materials without sacrificing the technological properties of the concrete mix, ensuring consistent product quality while optimizing production costs. In addition, the reuse of construction materials contributes to reducing construction waste, preserving natural resources, and decreasing the land occupied by construction debris.
