A new dimension of concrete

Ductal® is a genuine revolution in the concrete sector:

- Exceptional resistance under traction and compression, 8 to 10 times better than conventional concrete, due to the flexibility of its cementitious matrix and fibrous composition (between 2 and 4% in volume)

- Removal of passive macro reinforcements in many applications, which facilitates the creation of extremely thin complex forms of large dimensions.

- Exceptional durability (100 to 1000 greater than conventional concrete, depending on the criteria) and excellent resistance to external aggressions such as abrasion, impacts, saline environments or extremely low temperatures.

- Ductal® is self-consolidating and easy to pour, even in complex mold shapes.

- Due to its very low porosity, Ductal® offers exceptional durability and resistance to external effects such as abrasion, impact and chloride environments.

- Ductal® can also be cast in displacement casting and dry cast applications.

The range of Ductal® products opens the way for new applications that were previously difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional reinforced concrete elements, such as:

• Thin complex-form shells (decoration, roofs, etc.)
• Thin envelope elements for commercial, residential and institutional buildings
• Watertight roof elements
• Thin, insulating structural elements
• Durable bridge decks
• Design: furniture, urban environment, washrooms, etc

Ductal® is especially suitable for precast applications and allows new possibilities which fulfill the requirements of Sustainable Construction:
- Savings in natural resources
- Low consumption of primary energy
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
