Hello

Fly Ash (also known as Pulverised Fuel Ash, or abbreviated to PFA) is supplied to the ready-mixed concrete and concrete products markets as a cement replacement.

Our Fly-Ash is quality assured and  conforms to the criteria set out in BS EN 450-1 and BS EN 450-2 these standards dictate the chemical and physical properties of the Fly Ash.

Features and benefits of using PFA as a cement replacement
As cement is a heavy contributor to the CO2 emissions in the UK, the less cement that is used in concrete manufacture the lower the impact the concrete industry has on the environment. Ultimately using Fly Ash as a cement replacement reduces the overall CO2 footprint of the final concrete product.

Other benefits include:

  • Improved long term strength, performance and durability
  • Reduced permeability
  • Surface finish of the completed product
  • Reduced temperature rise in thick sections.
  • Minimised risk of alkali silica reaction
  • Replacing cement with Fly Ash improves the properties of the hardened concrete
