Concrete according to the environment

The selector for the Class of Influence over the Environment provides important information about the selection of concrete depending on the environment. This tool is user friendly, fast and easy to use.

Concrete class XC

Concrete Class XC is used in risk of corrosion areas caused by carbonization. When the concrete is reinforced or the concrete contains metal parts in it and it is exposed to air and moisture

Concrete class XA

Concrete Class XA is used in conditions of chemically aggressive impact. Such conditions are created when the concrete is subjected to an aggressive chemical action that takes place in the natural soil and in underground water with the speed of the water, low enough to be accepted for hydrostatic factor of impact.
