Global building products manufacturer Sika has been shortlisted for a Concrete Repair Association (CRA) award for its innovative concrete repair range which sets a new standard for low environmental impact.
The new products launched as part of the MonoTop® range consist of the following: - Sika MonoTop®-1010, Sika MonoTop®-3020, MonoTop®-4012, which generates less CO2 emissions compared to other concrete repair solutions – up to 1 tonne of CO2 per 100m2 – earned its CRA nomination in the ‘Innovation’ category. Ideal for new-build and refurbishment projects, MonoTop® rewrites the rule book in terms of low-carbon concrete repair. Its sustainability is enhanced by its dust-reducing properties which limit particle emissions by up to 70% during application, resulting in safer, less-polluted, more comfortable on-site working conditions for operatives.
"The MonoTop® range highlights Sika’s commitment to developing products which achieve new levels of sustainability without compromising the company’s primary function as a trusted repair resource. The CRA nomination, of which we’re extremely proud, is in recognition of this ability. MonoTop®’’s production is a testament to the technical ingenuity of our superb research and development teams." John Baron, Business Unit Manager at Sika
MonoTop®’s environmentally-friendly credentials are essential to achieving BREEAM/LEED requirements. Indeed, each British Standard-approved product within the system, including the bonding binder and the concrete and levelling mortars, contains recycled waste materials.
Category winners of this year’s CRA awards will be announced on Friday, December 3rd at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Bloomsbury Street Hotel, London.
