1. Green Sense® Concrete
Building a Sustainable
Concrete Industry

2. Most of the focus of our industry today
is on the economy and sustainability.
These issues will continue to
challenge and shape our industry.
At BASF, we are committed to
providing you with solutions to both
your economic and ecological
challenges.

3. Concrete is considered a green material,
however threats to the concrete industry
include:
 Cement Production Carbon Emissions
 Energy Intensity/Usage
 Natural Resource Depletion
 Health – noise, particulate emission, etc.
 Water Quality Green Sense® Concrete is environmentally
friendly:
 Lowers energy demands, and CO2 emissions
and other environmental impacts per unit
volume of concrete produced.
 Less by-product materials targeted for landfill.
 Lower overall environmental impact.

4. Green Sense® Concrete – Advanced Concrete Mix Optimization
an environmentally friendly,
cost-effective concrete mix  Uses recycled materials
optimization service in which  Glenium® highrange water-reducing
supplementary cementitious admixture
materials and non-
cementitious fillers are used  Rheotec® Z 60 workability retaining
with BASF chemical admixture
admixtures to meet or  attains desired setting characteristics and
exceed performance targets. strength
 Improves ease of constructability
 Increases the service-life/ durability of
structures
 Reduces the cost per yard to the concrete
producer
and it’s ecological and economical !!!

5. Recycled Materials Examples
 Slag Cement
Common
 Fly Ash (Type F or C)
 Limestone Fines
 Aggregate Fines
 Non Spec. Silica Fume Fly ash Slag
 Aged Cement Kiln Dust
Other Materials
 Rice Husk Ash
 Burnt Oil Shale Fines
 Glass Powder
 Metakaolin Limestone fines Granite fines
