AALBORG EXTREMEtmLIGHT120 Officially launched in November 2018

The latest generation of premixed ultra-high performance cement with durable bonding technology

From November 2018, AALBORG EXTREMEtm LIGHT120, the new generation of premixed ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) based on AALBORG WHITE® cement, will be available on the market. The product is first being introduced in Europe and will also be available in the US and China from January 2019.

AALBORG EXTREMETM LIGHT120 is the first commercialized product under the AALBORG INWHITE SOLUTIONTM brand. It acts as an innovation engine for technologically advanced products based on White Cement that deliver high added value. The Innovation Team, which is led by Group Sales, Marketing & Commercial Development and cooperates with the R&D Lab in Aalborg, has succeeded in breaking through the boundaries of traditional technology for the use of White Cement. The emphasis is on innovation and environmental protection to support the development of sustainable industrial products.

AALBORG EXTREMETM Light 120 is based on Cementir Holding's recently patented sustainable bonding technology, FUTURECEMTM. This technology produces highly advantageous pozzolanic reactions without being limited by the availability or quality of waste materials from other industries that minimize environmental impact. The premixed UHPC product is fully documented with predictable performance. This allows it to be tailored on-site within a predetermined range to optimize production cost and efficiency

NEW GENERATION OF UHPC HAS GREEN GENES

The successfully developed, complex bonding technology behind the UHPC product is due to a synergy between the Innovation Team, Research & Quality Centre in Aalborg, Denmark, and the Global Sales Team of Cementir Holding. AALBORG EXTREMETM Light 120 is based on a further refinement of the sustainable bonding technology FUTURECEMTM. This technology uses a unique selection of raw materials from suitable natural sources, which exhibit superior pozzolanic reactions and are not limited by the availability and quality of waste materials from other industries.

Cementir Holding is an innovative leader in the white cement industry and aims to manufacture high quality products in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner.

A FULLY DOCUMENTED PRODUCT WITH PREDICTABLE PERFORMANCE

A recognized and trusted global brand, AALBORG WHITE® is the White Cement used in the Aalborg Extreme TM Light 120, offering, among other things, improved interaction with admixtures and predictable and reliable UHPC performance due to its high degree of chemical purity and the inherent stability of its quality.

Aalborg Extreme TM Light 120 was developed as a safe and reliable solution for making UHPC products. It was designed to successfully meet the requirements of industrial producers, while allowing customers to choose the color (other than the original white), fiber type and dosage. The solid UHPC blend has high viscosity, as well as

excellent flow properties with a drying time suitable for industrial use. "It is satisfying to receive the first "Voice of Customer" in Europe who gave a positive product review. Together with the Aalborg White Innovation Team, we conducted several tests to test the product's machinability and strength. The product turned out to have the perfect properties to excellently meet the market demand."

The superior durable properties of Aalborg Extreme TM Light 120 make it possible to design and make thin, lightweight, ultra-strong concrete products such as renderings, facade cladding, awnings, garden ornaments or urban furniture. The premix product offers an easy solution for safe and clean production of high quality UHPC elements for a typical industrial production process, thanks to its excellent properties, especially:

• machinability - self-compacting properties and long-term fluidity
• high early and final strengths
• predictable and reliable performance
• Shrinks very little, minimizing the risk of cracking
• Very durable, even in inclement conditions.
• color performance, extraordinary whiteness for architectural and decorative elements
