LafargeHolcim cements are quality-assured with independent third-party certification and guarantee compatibility with the most advanced admixtures for satisfactory placing and effective curing.

Cement for precasters

LafargeHolcim has developed an advanced range of high early strength cements to help precasters build faster and in a more efficient way. Our cements are an economic solution to improve worksite productivity: thanks to their specific formula, precasters benefit from faster demolding times and increased cycles. Their rapid hardening properties also allow fast concreting, even in cold weather, on major infrastructure projects (airports, roads).

Fine surfaces

Every project is different, and each client has different expectations of cements. This is why LafargeHolcim has brought together a series of high level cements for specific applications that can meet each project’s requirements:

Ultrafine products for cost-effective repairs and water ingress prevention
White cements to create unique architectural designs
Sulfate-resisting cements for applications subject to sulfate attack or seawater: ports, sewage treatment structures, underground structures, etc.

Roads and stabilization

Road construction and soil remediation require specific cements with longer setting and hardening time properties. LafargeHolcim has specially developed a range of cements and binders that bring strength and soil compatibility to roads and soil applications. Our solutions require less road layer thickness, thus generating savings in raw materials and reducing the overall cost of projects.

Oil & gas well cements

LafargeHolcim provides a wide range of state-of-the-art API certified cements characterized by consistent quality, the latest innovations, and unmatched supply chain execution for worldwide availability. Our oil and gas cement solutions also ensure high sulfate resistance, adjustable density, mechanical resistance, predictable setting and pumping time, as well as water tightness for drilling operations.

Limestone filler
