Regulatory News:
Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies (ISIN: FR0013451044, Ticker:
ALHGR) (Paris:ALHGR) (“Hoffmann Green Cement” or the “Company”), an
industrial player committed to decarbonizing the construction
sector that designs and distributes innovative clinker-free cement,
today announces that its H-UKR cement has become the first
clinker-free cement in the world to be validated by the CSTB
(Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment, i.e. Scientific and
Technical Center for Building) for structural applications on all
types of structures.
Following four years of physical, chemical and mechanical
trials, H-UKR cement has benefited from Technical Appraisal (type
‘A’ ATEx) from the CSTB, the public company that guarantees the
quality and safety of buildings. This evaluation covers a very
large number of buildings from individual homes to tower blocks for
various structural applications (floors, shells, beams, columns,
etc.) The design of concrete structures based on H-UKR cement is
undertaken in accordance with Eurocode 2 and Eurocode 8, design
standards recognized in France and Europe.
H-UKR’s ETPM (Évaluation Technique de Produits et Matériaux,
i.e. technical evaluation of products and materials) has just been
enhanced and more objectifies the sustainability and quality of
H-UKR cement by validating the expected lifespan of 100 years, thus
paving the way for concrete based on H-UKR cement to be used in
civil engineering structures (bridges, tunnels, etc.)
Similarly, this latest version of ETPM introduces new exposure
classes (XC1, XC2, XC3, XC4, XF1) hence enabling concrete based on
H-UKR cement to be used in both indoor and outdoor structures.
Validated and granted by the CSTB, these evaluations come on top
of the many approvals and accreditations already received by the
Company, thus enabling it to further strengthen its barriers to
entry. These evaluations also demonstrate the impetus provided by
the strategic partnership deal signed in November facilitating
relations between the two entities.
Julien Blanchard and David Hoffmann, co-founders of Hoffmann
Green Cement Technologies, said: “In the midst of ongoing
frenetic communication regarding carbon neutrality, Hoffmann Green
Cement is as usual endeavouring to back its announcements with
verified and evaluated elements. The granting of these evaluations
further objectifies the quality of our cement, notably with the
awarding of a lifespan of 100 years. In this regard, we would like
to thank the CSTB’s teams for drafting this unprecedented technical
appraisal and our own teams who are working tirelessly on seeking
innovative decarbonized solutions to preserve tomorrow’s
world”.
Stéphanie Bondoux, Director of Certification and
Accreditation, added: “These evaluations are the result of
close collaboration between the CSTB and Hoffmann Green teams. They
illustrate the safety, sustainability, lifespan and performances of
concrete made with H-UKR cement that will henceforth be seen as a
standard technique for insurers and technical controllers for
superstructure applications such as columns, beams, shells and
slabs. Its use will thus be facilitated. Hoffmann Green will
continue the assessment work undertaken on concrete based on H-UKR
cement in order to open it up to numerous other applications and
hence meet our clients’ needs.”
