Bascement Plus Slite

Bascement Plus is a Portland composite cement (CEM II/B-M (P-LL)) produced in Slite.

Bascement Plus is a cement blended with natural pozzolan, a material with reactive properties similar to cement clinker. This means that it can replace part of the clinker in the finished product.

Unlike cement clinker, natural pozzolan has low climate impact. Including natural pozzolan in Bascement Plus significantly reduces CO₂ emissions.

Bascement Plus can be used in most common concrete applications, such as house building, where climate-friendly concrete is required.

• Natural pozzolans are volcanic materials with cement-like properties that are used as additives in concrete and mortar. One of the best-known natural pozzolans is volcanic ash, which has been used since ancient times to strengthen and make building materials more durable. This volcanic material is extracted from Heidelberg Materials' quarries in Iceland, where it is available in large quantities, making it a sustainable long-term resource.
