The ABC’s of PLC’s in Architectural Precast
Watch Live on APA's YouTube Channel
After decades of research and use in other parts of the world, portland-limestone cements (PLCs) are being embraced by the US as a ready-to-implement change to lower the initial CO2 footprint of concrete and masonry construction. This session explains what PLCs are and how they compare to ordinary portland cement in terms of fresh and hardened properties. While PLCs can help the industry move toward a lower carbon future how do they perform in architectural products? This session will specifically address issues of importance to architectural precasters such as brightness, pigment loading, etc.
