Since 1989 UHPC is successfully used in combination with ceramic and/or mineral aggregates as a very effectice wearprotection material.

UHPC, Ultra High Performance concrete, is a combination of a cement, micro particles and wear resistant (very hard) particles. Due to the micro particles it is possible to create a perfect physical packing ensuring improved chemical Reactions.

These chemical reactions secures the formation of minerals with superior properties at room temperature. Hence around 60 – 70% of the full strength will obtained after 48 hours. Final strength of a UHPC is 120 – 250 MPa.

Benefits:

- Easy installation method - No special tools are necessary - Flexible layer thickness - Jointless installation - Castable is extremely flowable - Extreme compressive strength - Very good corrosion resistance - Adapts each of surface geometry - Fast Curing at ambient temperature - High temperature resistance - In precast are any geometries and thinnest cross sections realized with yet high strength

UHPC can be produced as a mortar, cast-able,sprayable or pump-able product.For using the UHPC products, the dry UHPCmaterial must be mixed with water in a paddle orpan pot mixer and if necessary with ceramicaggregates.

WPE Diamond UHPC products are manufactures under strict supervision, in accordance with WPE ISO 9001:2008 certified quality control system. All WPE UHPC products are packed in 25 kg paper bags or in 1,0 to big bags. The average storage time in a dry, ventilated room is at least 12 month

Benefits for the creativity - UHPC can produced as a extreme white product - UHPC can be produced in all colours - It can be surface textures produced with a depth of 0.1mm directly from the mould - It can smooth, reflective surfaces are produced directly from the mould. Subsequent polishing is not necessary. - It can be made natural stone marble slabs that are essential hardness than the original - UHPC gives you the option to create full creativity, pure, elegant forms and complex multi functional elements - UHPC is resistant to the harshest environmental Pollution - UHPC has a superior resistance against corrosion, abrasion, carbonation, impact and Fire - Perfect for use in marine environment

UHPC is the perfect material for extremedesign ideas - Facade elements - Supports or exact copies of ancient element or built - Industrial design for the toughest stresses - House constructions such as floating stairs, balconies, thin, highly workable wall constructions - House structures on or in the sea water - Furniture such example armchair, tables, lamps, cabinets, etc. - Light elements - Kitchen design - Bathroom design - Garden design - Marina design - Street furniture design - Swimming pools

Rehabilitation of 254 prestressed foundation piles, with a diameter of 50 cm and awall thickness of 10 cm, were damaged in the splash-down zone (4 meter underand 2 meter above the water level) by chloride initiated corrosion.

The repair method was as follow:

- Removal of not sound concrete, cleaning and sandblasting under and above water. - If necessary placing new or extra reinforcement. Placing and connection moulds with diameter of 56 cm. - Pumping UHPC reinforced with steel fibers in the mould from the bottom of the mould. - De moulting after 36 hours.

Result: More than 13 years without any repair
