Philippines: Holcim Philippines has launched a new blended cement product called Solido. It is intended to produce concrete that is better than that made from Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in terms of durability and compressive strength. The product is also more environmentally friendly than OPC as it uses less clinker. The cement producer is also offering technical training, test and field support to potential users. It says it has launched the product to support the country’s construction boom.
