Development of New Materials

- New and innovative outlets for cement and silicate based materials -  

Concrete Experts International has a strong focus on the development of new and innovative outlets for materials based on cement and silicate based binders. These developments are mostly performed in collaboration with industry. In combination with the intellectual properties of the customer a joined development leads to new, innovative outlets based on the synergy within the partnership.

Within these collaborations CXI develops new ideas, concepts and technologies directly for the customers. Together with industry, we deploy our knowledge on raw materials, technologies and functionality to develop materials, products and/or processes that can be implemented in the market by our partners. A further possibility is to make use of in house-developed ideas, concepts, technologies and applications for specific markets, targeted by the customer.

In all projects CXI employs a market-oriented approach. In the majority of the projects specialized project teams are defined which works in close collaboration with industrial partners. CXI combines fundamental research with a practical, pragmatic and results oriented approach in highly qualified project teams and with clearly defined tasks, milestones and deliverables. Within CXI, we adopt the following approach in our projects:


Various objects based on inorganic binders produced by extrusion techniques.

Over the years, the employees of CXI have obtained considerable knowledge in all of the above-mentioned segments. First, there is knowledge about the properties, availability and processing of a broad range of raw materials. Through implementation of new technologies, specific functionality can be obtained, and valuable products produced. 

CXI is continuously looking for industrial partners to join in development projects in which our state of the art knowledge can be adopted and combined with the knowledge and expertise of our partners. CXI always aims at building a sustainable relationship with its partners, thereby working as "partners in research".
