Characteristics

Ductal from Holcim enables long-lasting and greener buildings by relying on innovative formulations and using less material than traditional construction solutions. Its fiber-reinforced formulation provides ductility and up to eleven times the compressive strength of traditional concrete.

Ductal is a material with low porosity, which delivers substantial impermeability and ten times the durability of other cementitious-based materials. Additionally, its low water-to-aggregate ratio and pack density lead to high durability even under the most extreme climatic and chemical conditions.

Features and Benefits

• Ductal enables structures with up to half the usual amount of material for equivalent performance

• Application techniques such as refined spraying allow for the use of the exact quantity of material needed

• Blast+ and Fire+ technology adds additional protection against potential shock, impact, and explosion
