INNOVATIVE
MATERIALS IN CONSTRUCTION
Discover DIOPMA’s innovations in alternative construction materials that reduce environmental impact and optimize resources.
AT THE FOREFRONT OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
Our group leads innovation in construction materials. Our alternative cements are designed to promote greener and more sustainable infrastructure. By using waste as raw materials, we not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also decrease overall energy consumption.
These efforts are aligned with the European Union’s strategic policies for 2050, aiming towards a low-carbon economy and greater resource efficiency.
ALKALI-ACTIVATED CEMENTS (AAC)
We offer eco-friendly construction solutions with alkali-activated cements (AAC), using by-products as raw materials, minimizing CO2 emissions, and enhancing the mechanical properties of building materials. These cements are ideal for projects seeking high sustainability and energy efficiency.
WASTE
VALORIZATION
Through the innovative use of MSW, CDW bottom ash, and other waste materials, we transform these into key components for manufacturing sustainable cements. This solution reduces reliance on non-renewable resources and minimizes environmental impact, offering a robust option for the construction industry committed to reducing its ecological footprint.
MAGNESIUM PHOSPHATE CEMENT (MPC)
Our team develops magnesium phosphate cements using low-grade magnesium oxides or Mg-rich by-products, providing a sustainable alternative that reduces mineral extraction and environmental degradation. This innovative solution is designed for industries seeking construction materials with lower environmental impact and enhanced durability.
Activated Clays for
Green Cement
We develop the mechanical activation of clays for their use as supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) in the formulation of alternative cementitious materials.
