Also called bendable concrete, ECC is an exclusive mixture of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) with a unique blend of different ingredients and low volume fibers that produce high ductility and high tensile strength material. Conventional concrete and typical fiber-reinforced concrete are brittle in nature and hence crack easily under environmental and mechanical loads, affecting the durability of structures. ECC acts more like a ductile metal than a brittle glass (as does OPC concrete), leading to a wide variety of applications.

Engineered to create a durable, ductile cementitious composite with eco-logical traits and attributes, ELCEMITE also incorporates many of the desired performance attributes and superior characteristics of Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC). UHPC was developed in the 1990s and has become one of the few major breakthroughs in concrete technology in the last two centuries.

ELCEMITE is capitalizing on these feats with a formulation set to bring the building industry into a promising next century and beyond.
