| Technical purpose of product or process | Concrete is a versatile building material used in almost all types of construction. In building construction it is used for foundations, walls, ceilings and stairs. While in civil engineering and infrastructure construction it creates bridges, roads, tunnels and dams stable and durable. Concrete is also indispensable in industrial and public buildings, such as warehouses and schools due to its high strength and formability. Concrete is also suitable for design and decorative purposes, both indoors and outdoors, such as exposed walls, floors and furniture. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Technology description including background system | Concrete is a mineral mixture of a binder (usually cement), water and aggregates (such as sand, gravel or crushed stone) that hardens through a hydraulic hardening process to form a solid building material with high compressive strength. The chemical reaction between water and cement—known as hydration—creates a fine-crystalline structure that bonds the aggregates together, making the concrete dimensionally stable and resilient. Additives and admixtures can be added to the mix to achieve specific properties, such as increased strength, reduced water absorption or improved workability. Concrete can vary in its mechanical and physical properties through different mixing ratios and compositions and can be tailored to specific requirements, such as high-strength concrete, lightweight concrete, or highly reinforced concrete. The declared material is unreinforced concrete C20/25 XC1 XC2 F3 16 M. The CO₂ emissions from steel must be accounted separately as this is not a constituent of the concrete mix. The concrete mix is produced in specialized concrete mixing plants according to the monitored quality standards of DIN EN 206:2013+A2:2021 and DIN 1045-2 to ensure consistently high product quality. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
