Insulation industry news from Global Insulation

Germany: Cemex Zement has launched Insularis cement-free concretes, a product range suitable for use in building insulating components. The range includes lightweight concretes Insularis Supra and Insularis Infra. Due to its low bulk density, Insularis Infra currently requires special case-by-case or project-related approval for use in Germany. The company said that it produces Insularis concretes from a mix of recycled and natural raw materials. It added that Insularis is itself 100% recyclable.

France: Lafarge France and Euromac 2 have signed a national partnership contract to bring to market insulating concrete form products. The deal will see Euromac 2 use Agilia concrete from Lafarge to fill its expanded polystyrene blocks. The two companies will then approve a network of companies to bring the product to the market.
