Yalite
Ridgehill Minerals produces the new alternative binder YALITE for the concrete industry.
Ridgehill Minerals AB manufactures binders for the concrete industry, where the raw material is a natural pozzolan from the island of Gyalí in Greece, which is a reactive silica-rich volcanic ash that can replace cement and the current binders GGBS and fly ash. The binder will be sold under the brand name “YALITE”.
With a collaboration with Trollhättan Mineral, the production of the binder YALITE takes place in the production facility in Trollhättan.
Using YALITE contributes to a reduced climate footprint on the concrete. With a replacement of up to 50% of the traditional cement, we can help halve the carbon footprint.
Compensation with YALITE 20-50%
