Spain: CRH’s Catalonian ready-mix concrete subsidiary Beton Catalan has partnered with Grapheno Smart Materials in order to implement the latter’s graphene technology in its high-performance concrete products.
Beton Catalan’s quality director Alberto Arenillas said that the company’s high-performance concrete products require ‘a significant amount of CEM I cement,’ He said “By introducing the graphene additive, the nominal amounts of this cement can be reduced or changed to cement with a lower carbon footprint, improving its performance.” The company will sell the graphene-enriched concrete under its BeGreen reduced-CO2 products label.
UK: Concrene Limited has obtained a US patent for its Graphene Reinforced Concrete technology. The technology uses graphene dispersed in water to create a uniform distribution of graphene particles in concrete. Graphene increases the strength of concrete, enabling less cement to be used in its production.
Concrene Limited invited interested US stakeholders to discuss opportunities for commercial partnerships.
