US: Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies has obtained ASTM C1157 certification for its H-UKR 0% clinker cement after several months of testing and trials at the University of Miami.

The benchmark standard evaluates cements on their performance, regardless of their composition. H-UKR cement is now officially recognised as a hydraulic cement that can be used in all general construction applications, whether structural or non-structural. Hoffmann Green said that this is the first time that a 0% clinker cement has obtained this certification.

Co-founders Julien Blanchard and David Hoffmann said “This international technical recognition marks a decisive step forward in our certification process, which is part of a broader ambition to expand the applications of our 0% clinker cement through continuous innovation. It validates the reliability and sustainability of our technology on a global scale, in accordance with the most demanding standards. With this certification, H-UKR has confirmed itself as a game changer technology capable of profoundly transforming an industry that has remained unchanged for more than two centuries.”
