Claimed as "the ultimate performance concrete, delivering high strength, durability, and rigidity with design freedom and sustainability", Holcim's DYNAMax is suitable for a broad range of applications, from complex infrastructure to high-rise buildings.
"With today’s population and urbanization trends, DYNAMax is an ideal material to build smarter cities," says Jan Jenisch, CEO Holcim. "It offers high performance to build more with less with no compromise on aesthetics and functionality.”
Features
- High Strength: C60/75 - C120/135 MPa
- Durability: Max. 750 Coulombs in the rapid chloride penetration test according to ASTM C 1202
- Rigidity: 40 GPa2, minimum elastic modulus of 40 GPa determined by testing
DYNAMax allowed developer Speedwell a faster construction pace and required less materials compared to conventional solutions. Thanks to the use of DYNAMax, Speedwell was able to reduce the concrete volume in the building core by one-third and thus reduce the carbon footprint of the structure by 25% compared to conventional concrete.Speedwell
Designed for demanding construction projects, DYNAMax enables smart design, with thinner and longer structures and higher functionality. With optimal material use, it allows more usable space and greater variability in floor plans. Its durability minimizes maintenance and lifecycle costs of a building. Its sustainable footprint is driven by reduced material use, local production, and short transport routes as well as its circular and fully recyclable profile.
