Limits of the material newly defined

Extremely slender stairs, roof shells, energy façades, blast-resistant walls and furniture

Material and characteristics

The patented high-performance building material Ducon (Ductile Concrete), an ultra-high performance concrete with a three-dimensional micro reinforcement, is distinguished by high ductility and energy absorption, but also by high strength and durability. The fine fabric layers that are tied together in a three-dimensional way consist of carbon steel and corrosion-resistant materials, depending on the respective requirements.

Security

Due to the protective effect against explosion, impact, bullets and earthquakes, Ducon is particularly qualified for endangered...
