El Formex® in the only material we use in our products. It is an Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) based on an ECO-cement with a 50% lower carbon footprint than conventional cement. It is combined with micro and nanomaterials obtained from industrial by-products, granular fillers from the Valencian Community and contains an internal reinforcement of structural metal fibers.
The results of this combination is a material with a mechanical strength x4 and a durability x20 compared to the properties of conventional concrete, which allows the design of lighter structures, with a longer useful life and minimal maintenance.
Our Formex® was developed by the consultancy Research & Development Concretes. For more information on what Formex® is, or what UHPC is, visit their web content here.

IN WHAT SITUATION?
The elements are located in marine enviroments that requiere high durabilty
When the goal is to guarantee a service life of more than 100 years
When the dimensions and weight required to guarantee the service life become a limitation
When the weight or size limitation, even when there are no durability issues
Excessive maintenance is expected for the operation of the infraestructure
Enviromental conditions require the use of stainless or galvanized steel, which has a high initial investment cost
Uniqueness and exclusivity of the design are sought
WHY FORMEX?
It has such high surface hardness and impermeability values ??that it is unalterable against any physical or chemical attack from the outside
It offers designs with a useful life of more than 100 years without additional costs
It allows for a 50%–75% reduction in the weight of concrete structures and the volume of resource consumption.
It enables designs weighing no more than 20% above equivalent steel structures
It reduces the maintenance costs of any alternative material
It eliminates the need for additional corrosion protection systems, such as stainless steel, galvanized steel, GRP, or cathodic protection systems
It allows for achieving slenderness and thicknesses never seen before in concrete elements
