We develop solutions that help to make structures more durable, use resources more efficiently and continuously improve processes.

Sustainable Building & Refurbishment

Modern building is very much focused on sustainability. Over the past 20 years, this topic has become increasingly important in construction planning and execution. The aim is to minimise the consumption of energy and resources – from raw material extraction to construction and, ultimately, dismantling and recycling. As a manufacturer of building chemical products, MC-Bauchemie also contributes to ensuring sustainability in building construction. We aim to use and supply sustainable product systems that will extend the period of use of a building or part of a building while also improving protection for the environment – be it through special concrete admixtures that enable to produce concretes with recycled materials or reduce water and cement, cement-free concretes, sealants, concrete release agents, plasters, renders and mortars or through special surface protection coatings.

Solutions for sustainable planning

The DGNB was founded in 2007 and is today Europe's largest network for sustainable construction with around 1,200 member organisations, including MC-Bauchemie. The aim of the association is to promote sustainability in the construction and real estate sectors and to increase awareness of its imperatives in the minds of the general public. With the DGNB certification system, the independent non-profit organisation has developed a planning and optimisation tool for evaluating sustainability in buildings, in interiors and in entire neighbourhoods, thus helping to increase genuine sustainability in construction projects. What all members of the DGNB have in common is their interest in and willingness to actively work for more sustainability in the construction and real estate industries.

The life cycle assessment of building materials

What is the environmental impact of a building material? These and other questions on the life cycle assessment of building products are becoming increasingly important in the public eye as well as in the construction sector. And answers to such questions can be found in MC-Bauchemie’s Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). MC-Bauchemie is a dedicated proponent of development aligned to protecting the environment and conserving resources. This also includes sustainable product systems that not only meet ecological and resource-efficiency criteria, but also extend the useful life of a building or part thereof.

Environmentally and userfriendly building materials

MC-Bauchemie manufactures environmentally compatible and resource-efficient construction products aligned to improving the eco-balance of each and every build in which they are used – from special admixtures for producing cement-free concretes, to sealants, concrete release agents, plasters, renders, mortars and surface protection coatings. They contribute significantly to improving the sustainability of a building through a reduction in environmentally harmful emissions, better durability, lower inspection and maintenance costs and a reduced cleaning requirement.
