UHPC Concrete for extreme facade design constructions

Today, light and very filigree facade constructions with high strength values and extreme resistance to all types of environmental influences are possible through hightech UHPC materials.

Ultra High Performance Concrete
technology makes it possible to meet almost every customer requirement with regard to the surface structure. By using white cement as one of the basic components and special color pigments, clear fine colors can be achieved. Due to UHPC technology, the surfaces have an extremely low porosity, which requires sealing only in very special cases.

With UHPC an accuracy of 0.1 mm can be achieved from the mold when using appropriate molds.
The accuracy can be increased to 0.005 mm by looping.

Requirements for facade constructions
  • Very high resistance under extreme climatic conditions
  • Heat resistance
  • Leigh weigth construction incl insulation
  • Fire proof
  • All colors
  • Extreme fine surface structures
  • Extreme corosion resistance
  • Explosion resistance
  • Terrorist protection
  • Surface quality
  • Livetime


All our UHPC products are temperature-resistant from -80°C/-112°F to + 450°C/842°F, very good
corrosion-resistant and extremely wear-resistant.
For special fire proofed construction we can
produce and delivery high temperature resistant
(up to 1200°C/2192°F) UHPC products.


UHPC materials are achieving a very high strength (120 MPa/17400 psi - 250 MPa/36200 psi). Due to these high strength values, it is also possible to produce thin sandwich panels with a
highly efficient insulation.
Insulating panels are used in the industry for
several years. In this case, temperatures of more
than 400°C/752°F are reduced via the sandwich
plates.

Even at very high permanent temperatures,  UHPC materials do not lose their very high strength values. In the high-temperature version, UHPC can be used up to a maximum temperature of max. 1200°C/2192°F.




Due to the special ductile properties of UHPC

and special panel designs, explosive effects
and the action of hand-held firearms can be
significantly reduced.
