02 The Technology

What is MICROCORE®?

A patented, trade-secret aerated concrete system. Millions of engineered micro-air cells suspended in a precision-tuned cementitious matrix. The result: a single material family that rewrites the rules of weight, strength, thermal performance and speed of construction.

Lighter.

Up to 80% less masonry weight via engineered micro-cellular structure.

Faster.

Pumpable on-site, precast in factory — installation rates impossible with brick.

Stronger.

Density-tuned grades D100 to D1400 deliver insulation or structure on demand.

Sustainable.

Recycled inputs, lower embodied carbon, drastically lower lifetime energy use.

§01 The Technology

An engineered
cellular matrix —
not a mix.

MICROCORE® generates a precisely calibrated network of stable micro-cells inside the binder matrix. The result is a structurally coherent material whose density, strength and thermal behaviour can be tuned across a wide engineering range.

Density range 100 – 1400kg/m³
Compressive strength 0.5 – 25MPa
Thermal conductivity 0.07 – 0.45W/mK
Fire rating A1non-combustible
