ELCEMITE™: The Next Generation of Sustainable Building Materials

ELCEMITE™ is NX-Cast’s breakthrough family of lightweight, high-performance cementitious composites—engineered to transform how the world builds. Designed for seamless integration into a wide range of construction applications, ELCEMITE delivers the strength and versatility of concrete while dramatically reducing environmental impact and unlocking new possibilities for design, efficiency, and sustainability.

Why ELCEMITE™?

  • Sustainability at Its Core:
    Each ELCEMITE mix incorporates up to 60% upcycled waste, including plastic, glass, and industry by-products. This not only diverts waste from landfills but also cuts the use of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) by over 60%, slashing carbon emissions and conserving natural resources.

  • Lightweight Strength:
    ELCEMITE products are significantly lighter than traditional concrete, yet maintain comparable compressive strength. This makes them ideal for projects where reducing structural loads and transportation costs is critical.

  • Versatility Across Applications:
    From roofing and wall panels (VIRA, NOVA) to flooring (CAEL), decking (MIRO), fencing, siding, landscaping, and even paving stones (ZYRA, ECOS), ELCEMITE adapts to virtually any construction need. Certain mixes, like NOVA, creates new possibilities for insulation, and enhanced energy efficiency .

  • Enhanced Performance:

    • Fiber reinforcement for added durability and ductility—no need for steel rebar.

    • Self-compacting and sprayable options simplify installation and reduce labor.

    • 3D printing compatibility opens doors to rapid, innovative construction methods.

    • Self-curing at ambient temperatures eliminates shrinkage and reduces energy use.

    • Resistant to fire, decay, mold, and extreme temperatures for long-lasting performance.

  • Smart Design, Minimal Maintenance:
    ELCEMITE’s advanced formulation ensures low porosity, quick setting, and reduced risk of cracking, making it a reliable, low-maintenance solution for demanding environments.

Turning Waste into Value

ELCEMITE is more than just a material—it’s a platform for circular construction. By incorporating post-consumer plastic, glass, biochar, and other by-products, ELCEMITE transforms what was once waste into a valuable resource, supporting a more sustainable and profitable future for the construction industry.

Innovation in Every Mix

  • CAEL Lite, MIRO, VIRA, ZYRA, ECOS: Lightweight, waste-filled options for flooring, decking, paving, and more.

  • LUMA: High biochar content for advanced applications, including supercapacitors.

  • Sprayable and 3D-printable mixes: For fast, flexible, and creative construction.

Seamless Integration

ELCEMITE is engineered for drop-in adoption. Manufacturers can use their existing batching, mixing, and placement systems—no new equipment or retraining required. This means you can start building better, right away, with minimal risk and maximum benefit.
