UHPC stands for Ultra High Performance Concrete and identifies compounds with highly performing characteristics specific for special applications.
The UHPC binder is a mixture of
- Concrete
- Microsilicates
- Superplasticizers
Thanks to the high density and low porous structure, the UHPC binder allows to obtain
- high compressive strength
- excellent resistance to the penetration of corrosive substances.
When combined with high hardness and high heat resistance aggregates, the UHPC binder transforms into a wear resistant material with excellent characteristics.
