The world’s first,S$200 million ready-mixed concrete ecosystem has officially opened at Jurong Port. Its productivity will double, and it will reduce carbon emissions by more than 25,000 tons per year, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of about 12,750 four-room HDB flats. Ready-mixed concrete is one of the most commonly used materials in construction. It is […]
Desulfurisation gypsum is an industrial by-product obtained from the desulfurisation and purification of coal-fired flue gas. It is produced by grinding quicklime or limestone and reacting it with sulphur dioxide in the flue gas to form calcium sulfate dihydrate with fine particles, high water content and a large specific gravity. Its fineness generally ranges from […]
Testing phase successfully completed with over 10,000 test kilometers BASF Coatings, a leading partner for innovative surface solutions, and Koch International, an international logistics service provider based in Osnabrück, have successfully tested the use of electric trucks for long distances and have now implemented this sustainable transport solution for BASF Coatings in long-distance transport. The efforts […]
Generally, the water content of masonry mortar is 260–300 kg/m3, and the cement content of ordinary masonry mortar is 180–300 kg/m3. The main is to ensure that the mortar does not absorb too much water from the block material before it sets and hardens, and that the cement in the mortar does not hydrate without […]
The 2024 report shows record low levels of energy used in production and accident rates also at record low. The BCF Coatings Care program was established to monitor and drive improvement in the health and welfare of employees, the safe operation of processes, and sustainable practices across the coatings sector. Running since 1996, it is a voluntary […]
As an important component of concrete additives, water-reducing agents play a vital role in improving the workability, strength, durability and cost-effectiveness of concrete. With the continuous advancement of construction technology and ever-increasing environmental protection requirements, the research and application of water-reducing agents has become an important research direction in the field of concrete technology. I. […]

Water reducers in self-leveling compounds Water reducers are an essential component of self-leveling compounds to improve the fluidity of the mortar. Polycarboxylic acid water reducers are commonly used, which can quickly adsorb onto the surface of cement particles and disperse them through electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance. They have the characteristic of rapid dispersion, which […]
The Conit Runner robot has been nominated for a CES 2025 innovation award When most of us think of freshly poured concrete, we picture a material that should be left to dry as smooth as possible. A new wheeled robot drives right over the stuff, however, gouging its surface to make structures stronger yet also […]
Plastering gypsum, a new model of green building materials, is specially designed for plastering the interior walls of modern buildings. Its unique formula combines industrial by-product gypsum, selected aggregates, high-efficiency filling substances and special additives, which together create its excellent application performance on a variety of building interior walls, especially concrete and aerated brick walls. […]
