FOSROC’S GREEN TICK ECO PRODUCTS TO REDUCE CONSTRUCTIONS PROJECTS’ ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT…

Eco benefits? Tick!

A s part of a continuous drive towards improvements in 2023, Fosroc UK & Ireland has introduced the ‘Green Tick’ product range. The green tick logo identifies products that carry eco benefits to help reduce the impact of future construction projects in the environment. Find out more about them below: • Proofex EFS - One box of Proofex EFS replaces 28kg of Proofex LM, reducing waste to landfill. • Sealants - Several Fosroc sealant variants come in a foil sachet, which saves 90,000 plastic cartridges. The complete sealant range will move over to foil packs by the end of 2023.

• Renderoc DS + DSR - Offers market- leading minimal rebound (tested to less than 10%), creating less waste. • Thioflex 555 – The machine grade allows for 3000m of joints, while a hand application would only cover 800m. Use of 400L packs results in 20kg less packaging waste when compared to 5L packages. • Patchroc 250 – The coating can be applied within six hours, minimising disruption and associated environmental impact from road closures. • Proofex range – Air and water-tight membranes and ancillary products – These air and water-tight help reduce

energy bills related to heating, according to Passive House construction standards. • Conbextra range - Supplied in bulk to reduce mixing time by 60-90% over 25kg bags. • Auracast 550HE - High early strength allows for a more efficient manufacturing process in precast. Alongside the introduction of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for Fosroc’s full concrete repair product range, the Green Tick labelling helps customers make a more informed and sustainable product solution choice.
