The company also offers special products, such as
ProntaPresa: ProntaPresa is a special, quick setting, hydraulic binder. Besides the typical setting speed of the product group it belongs to, it has a final gray color that eliminates the unaesthetic spots on the repaired product. It is used for sealing, fixing dowels and for repairs. The hardened mixes are not affected by humidity and do not swell.
Rocket 200: Rocket 200 is a pre-mixed, ready-to-use material for very-fast-hardening mortars and grouts, to be used in the partial remaking of roads, airport runways, railroads or tram lanes that must be re-opened to traffic in a few hours. It is a mortar for road repairs.
Ecospritz: Bulk Ecospritz is a special sulfate-resisting binder based on the use of IV/A 42,5 pozzolana cement. It is used for thin structural overlayers (tunnels, pipes, securing unsteady walls, and tanks).
Ecospritz Gunite: Ecospritz Gunite is a dry mortar mix for sprayed mortars and shotcrete. Ecospritz Gunite is used for thin structural overlayers (tunnels, pipes, securing unsteady walls, and tanks).
Ecospritz Gunite WLT: Ecospritz Gunite WLT is a fiber-reinforced and shrinkage-compensated dry mortar mix. Ecospritz Gunite WLT is used for structural overlayers, such as tunnels, pipes, securing unsteady walls and tanks; and it is placed by means of plaster-sprayer machines or standard shotcrete technology.
Jet Cement is a special pozzolana-based hydraulic binder.
Eureka-T: Eureka-T is a special cement-based binder that - after being mixed with water and proper-grained aggregates - allows the making of quick-drying slab floors, which are suitable for the laying of any kind of flooring material (even wood and carpeting), indoors and outdoors, since it is not affected by water after it has hardened.
