This week, we held an exciting customer day for manufacturers of visual and architectural concrete at our Recklinghäuser location. Current topics, trends and practical solutions were discussed together.
A highlight was the presentation of our new Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for liquid pigments. In addition, our Scholzians explained how pigments are measured and evaluated compared to standards.
Other topics of the day:
- How does Bacterial testing for water-based liquid pigments
- Role of ball mills in the production of carbon and iron oxide pigments
- Implementation of individual customer requirements, e.g. tailor-made pigment mixtures in weighed 2 kg bags
- Sustainable use of empty packaging (container cleaning, waste materials, certified processes)
- Overview of the diversity of Pigment forms — from powder to spray-dried granulate
Another focus was on constructive fibers, which can contribute as a sustainable alternative to reinforcement in exposed concrete.
We would like to thank all participants for the open exchange, the valuable discussions and the great interest!
