NewCem® Plus

The Perfect Mix

Lafarge Canada's NewCem® Plus is a controlled interblend of Lafarge fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) that allows for more efficient and cost-effective concrete applications.

NewCem® Plus meets or exceeds all of the requirements of CSA A3000 and ASTM C1697 for a blend of supplementary cementitious materials and can often be selected as an alternative SCM where fly ash is specified.

Benefits

Superior performance
Suitability for use in virtually all concrete and concrete product applications such as ready-mix, cast-in-place, pre-cast, pre-tensioned members, post-tensioned members and tilt-up construction solutions
Compatibility with a wide range of additives and admixtures
Typical replacement rates of NewCem® Plus are higher than those achievable when using fly ash as an SCM, and later age strengths are higher
Can allow for more economic mix design development

The NewCem® Plus Advantage in Concrete

When Portland or Portland limestone cement is mixed with water, most of the cement forms an insoluble gel known as calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) as well as calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). When NewCem® Plus is introduced into concrete, it reacts with the Ca(OH)2 to form additional C-S-H gel.

The power of NewCem® Plus enhances various concrete properties, including:

Workability and consolidation
Flexural and compressive strengths
Pumpability
Reduced permeability
