Next Generation Activators: Sustainable Solutions for the Cement Industry
We bring together advanced chemistry, technical expertise, and innovative technologies to help our customers achieve greater sustainability, strength, and cost savings.
EnviroAdd®
EnviroAdd® Next Generation Activators are innovative solutions that can be customized to meet the individual needs of cement producers. As a result, they provide clinker and CO₂ emissions reduction over and beyond what is achieved by traditional activators.
We combine advanced chemistry, technical expertise, and innovative technologies to ensure our customers achieve greater sustainability, strength, and cost savings.
Key Advantages:
-
Use Novel & Local SCMs: Enables additional clinker reduction.
-
Reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 11%: Consequently, a smaller environmental footprint.
-
Improve cement performance compared to traditional activators.
-
Cost savings: Through additional clinker reduction, the use of alternative fuels, and novel Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs).

Solutions for SCM Use
We are committed to sustainability and innovation; therefore, by allowing cement producers to partially replace clinker in the cement composition with alternative materials—known as Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs)—our products enable improvement in cement performance as well as a significant reduction in environmental impact.
SCMs are primarily composed of industrial by-products such as limestone, fly ash, blast furnace slag, and, more recently, calcined clays. While these materials offer environmental benefits, they do not provide sufficient performance and strength when used alone in concrete. To address this challenge, our teams have worked closely with customers to develop the EnviroAdd® range.
Through this collaboration, these innovative products deliver tailor-made, sustainable solutions that reduce carbon footprint and costs, while simultaneously ensuring superior performance.
Moreover, our teams have been at the forefront of industry advancements. In fact, we lead the development of activators that enhance the use of SCMs during the grinding process in cement manufacturing. Consequently, these activators significantly improve the mechanical properties of both cement and concrete, ensuring high-quality results for our customers.
