The new range of Thermedia® concretes is boosting buildings' energy performance by giving concrete a new role in the construction system: to reduce heat loss.
Thermedia® 0.6 B is the first product in the range and offers advantages in terms of sustainable construction:

• it reduces heating and air-conditioning costs
• it cuts energy consumption of a building.

It is also fluid and very workable making it a material which is very easy to use, while retaining the properties of a traditional concrete (mechanical, acoustic, earthquake resistance, durability, shrinkage and fire resistance).

Launched on the French market in 2000, Agilia® is a self-placing, self-leveling concrete. Highly fluid, this concrete spreads effortlessly. It can be poured quickly and provides a perfect, highly esthetic finish.

Agilia® considerably improves conditions on building sites:

• thanks to its fluidity, it eliminates the tedious chore of vibration. This improves on-site conditions for workers,
• it reduces worksite noise, a source of irritation both for workers and for nearby residents.

Today, Lafarge is the only global producer able to manufacture self-placing concrete in all locations with guaranteed, consistent quality.

Agilia® is a range of concrete products suitable for all uses: Agilia® Force, Agilia® Formes, Agilia® Horizontal, Agilia® Vertical, etc.

Decorative Artevia® concretes stand out because of their color and texture. The range includes:

• Artevia® Color
• Artevia® Empreinte
• Artevia® Poli
• Artevia® Relief
• Artevia® Roche
• Artevia® Sable

Let your imagination run wild!

Ductal® concrete is:

• ultra-high performance: its resistance is 6 to 8 times greater than that of conventional concrete,
• fiber-reinforced: it contains metal fibers that make it ductile. It can resist bending and can withstand major transformations (such as pressure or dilation) without breaking,
• resistant to external aggressions such as abrasion, pollution, weathering and scratching.

Extensia® concrete was developed for slabs and industrial floors which are subject to heavy traffic and storage loads. It helps limit cracking in floors and reduces the number of expansion joints, which are both expensive and unsightly.

The Extensia® formulation also facilitates preparation, pouring and the removal of formwork. It allows for the pouring of large surface area slabs with reduced numbers of joints, going up to 400m² with no joint, as opposed to 25m² for a standard concrete. This results in considerable time savings (-40%) and less physical labor.

Extensia® also offers a number of advantages in terms of sustainable development:

• it does not require steel reinforcement,
• it consumes less energy during the pour,
• it offers excellent resistance to wear and tear, limiting future maintenance and eliminating the need for a protective top coat. A real plus for the environment!

Chronolia® represents a major technological advance for the building sector. The result of extremely advanced research in nanotechnologies, it offers the same flexibility of use as a conventional ready-mix concrete but develops extremely high mechanical resistance soon after pouring. Its formwork can be removed 4 hours after pouring compared to 12 to 20 hours for traditional concrete.

Consequently, the number of daily cycles of form setting and stripping can be doubled, resulting in considerable time savings and productivity gains on the worksite!
