Ductal®'s extremely high mechanical performances - resistance to compression and flexure, ductility - enable designers to increase spans, reduce the number of sections and eliminate passive reinforcing, or design cantilever structures that are not possible with conventional concrete. Furthermore, it enables structures of superior thinness with contemporary design features, but also with remarkably long life.

Ductal® is appreciated for its superior resistance to corrosion, abrasion, carbonation, impact and fire resistance. It is the perfect material for structures built in harsh environments (i.e., in a marine environment or industrial site), as well as public buildings that have strict requirements in terms of safety and maintenance.

For renovation work, Ductal® is is an excellent choice because it significantly reduces the weight of supported elements, which can be integrated into the existing structure without delicate, expensive and complicated reinforcement. Consequently, where structures have reached their limits, Ductal® can be used to build reinforcements without significant modifications to buildings or reducing useable space.
