EPD: Ready-mix concrete, 2386 kg/m3, Watertight (BASF)

Ready-mix concrete is manufactured in stationary or mobile concrete batching plants. The concrete is a composite material basically manufactured to a set recipe/mix design by mixing cement, water and aggregates. Additionally concrete additives and admixtures can be used to change and improve the concrete properties in fresh and/or hardened state. Ready-mix concrete is normally transported in a fresh state to the construction site by truck mounted transit mixers and is poured into formwork, compacted when necessary, cured and demoulded after hydration in the hardened state and shape. Ready-mix concrete is used as a construction material for building works, to be placed on-site. The selected ready-mix concrete is used as finished element for construction (residential, non-residential, infrastructure).
