i-GlooCast RECYCLE 56
Superplasticizer for concrete with recycled aggregates
i-GlooCasti-GlooCast Line · ECO-BOOST Technology · i-GlooAdvance
The Product
Up to 55% recycled aggregates. Zero compromise on performance. RECYCLE 56 turns the constraints of sustainability into a competitive advantage. Engineered for those who demand superior quality even when the raw material is heterogeneous, imperfect, recycled — the definitive answer to the circular concrete challenge.
The Technology
ECO-BOOST is the core of RECYCLE 56. A system of multifunctional polymers that acts at the aggregate-matrix interface, stabilizing the intrinsic variabilities of recycled aggregates before they manifest. Active polymers selectively adsorb onto irregular surfaces, creating a protective film that homogenizes the rheological properties of the mix — and maximizes the efficiency of fly ash, GGBS, microsilica, and ternary systems.
- Stabilization of aggregate-cement paste interfaces through specific surfactant polymers
- Compensation of variable water absorption of recycled aggregates
- Optimization of cement dispersion in the presence of heterogeneous particles
- Control of hydration kinetics with SCM of varying reactivity
Where It Excels
- Structural concrete with recycled aggregates up to 55%
- Mixes with fly ash up to 35%, blast furnace slag, pozzolanic materials
- Ternary cement-ash-silica fume systems
- Reinforced concrete structures with aggregates from controlled demolition
- Sustainable industrial and road pavements
- LEED- and BREEAM-certified sustainable precast
What Changes
- Heterogeneity neutralized — ECO-BOOST compensates at molecular level the irregularities of recycled aggregates, eliminating performance variability
- Consistent workability — consistency remains stable regardless of the quality of incoming aggregates
- Certified strengths — ≥120% at 7 days, ≥155% at 28 days versus reference concrete
- Regulatory opening — meets technical standard performance requirements even at high recycled content, opening new market opportunities
Our Promise
Uncompromising quality, even at 55% recycled content.
Circularity that does not sacrifice performance.
ECO-BOOST turns the limitation into the standard.
