Ultra-High Performance
Concrete (UHPC)

Ultra-high performance concrete is a new type of concrete that is being

developed by agencies concerned with infrastructure protection. UHPC is
characterized by being a fibre-reinforced cement composite material with
compressive strength in excess of 100 MPa.

Concrete Class Upgrading KALMATRON admixtures bring production of UHPC

closer to the contractors with less expensive batch content and no curing
procedure, which is very costly due to sealing and heating of installed UHPC.

Below is basic comparative data of UHPC with and without the KALMATRON
admixture.
