WPE-DK HT UHPC extreme heat resistant concrete and lava

Lava is molten rock that rises from the earth's interior during a volcanic eruption. The temperature of lava
can vary depending on the type of magma, the depth from which it originates, and other factors. In general, the temperature of lava ranges from 700 to 1,200 degrees Celsius (1,300 to 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit). Some particularly hot lavas can reach temperatures above 1,200 degrees Celsius. The exact temperature depends on the chemical composition of the magma and the geological conditions.

WPE-DK UHPC HT concrete is an extremely strong wear resistant and highly corrosion resistant concrete with a compressive strength of over 200 MPa and a continuous temperature resistance of over 1200°C / 2192°F. The technical properties are achieved without reinforcement. WPE-DK UHPC HT concrete is produced as castable or as mortar mix for about 27 years and mainly used in steel industry worldwide. WPE-DK UHPC HT concrete can be mixed by any local concrete mixing plant.


We believe that WPE-DK HT concrete in pre-cast concrete walls can influence or even stop lava flows in their direction of flow.
To protect infrastructures and people would be worth a try, we would be willing to do so.
