RAISING EXPECTATIONS. LOWERING CARBON EMISSIONS.
ADVANCEMENTTM makes ordinary Portland cement extraordinary.
Environment
- The blending of limestone with clinker in the manufacturing process reduces embodied carbon to dramatically lower greenhouse gas emissions.
- ADVANCEMENTTM can be combined with other concrete carbon reduction technologies to further enhance performance and increasingly reduce concrete's embodied carbon.
Performance
- ADVANCEMENTTM is a portland-limestone cement that's relatively new to the United States but has been used successfully in Europe and around the world for decades.
- Performs equal to or better than ordinary portland cement especially in combination with supplementary cementitious materials.
Aesthetics
- The attractive light color and reduced environmental impact of ADVANCEMENTTM LT gives architects and engineers the ability to build more sustainable, resilient and appealing concrete buildings.

ADVANCEMENTTM NP (Natural Pozzolan)
Description: A supplementary cementitious material (SCM consisting of natural pozzolan blended with Type II/V portland cement. Natural pozzolans are a siliceous or silico-aluminous material that will, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to form compounds having cementitious properties. )
Benefits: Reduces CO2 in the manufacturing process by ~10% vs. common ASTM C150 cement.
Uses: NP is a general-purpose cement suitable for most concrete construction.
Coming Soon!
ADVANCEMENTTM T (Ternary Blend)
Description: A Ternary (three-part) blend of II/V cement, limestone and pozzolan.
Benefits: This blended product reduces the amount of CO2 in the manufacturing process by 20-25% as compared to common ASTM C150 cements while maintaining product performance requirements.
Uses: A general purpose cement suitable for most concrete construction.
