This fiber-reinforced, ultra-high performance material combines outstanding strength with casting fluidity, facilitating the creation of highly complex and elegantly simple forms.

Ductal®’s unique qualities make it a particularly innovative material for major civil engineering projects and concrete construction.

Ductal® can be a preferred alternative to steel, cast iron, aluminum, plastic or wood and can be used to compliment or contrast these other materials.

For the satisfaction of architects seeking to combine technological performance and aesthetics. Ductal®’s unique mechanical properties – compressive strengths (up to 200 MPa), flexural strengths (up to 40 MPa) and ductility allow for longer spans, reduced sections and volumes.

This opens the door to elegant, contemporary design and provides outstanding durability for major civil engineering works such as bridges and walkways. Ductal® is preferred for its resistance to corrosion, abrasion, carbonation and impact strength.

It is ideal for structures built in harsh settings such as marine or industrial environments and buildings open to the public with demanding maintenance and safety requirements.

Ductal® also represents a revolutionary leap forward in the use of concrete in the urban environment by incorporating its outstanding material qualities into the design.

Ductal®'s architectural potential distinguishes it above any other material, for both new construction and renovation projects. Casting ease and fluidity facilitate the construction of large-scale, highly complex, very thin precast structures to an extent never before reached with conventional concrete materials.

Ductal® has revolutionized the construction sector as the ideal material. Applications including building envelopes, acoustic sound panels, facing walls, cornice outlines, flooring and other applications are offered a wide range of textures due to its outstanding ability to replicate mold, formwork and pattern surface detail.
