ACC Concrete has developed a new concrete which has a sustainable foundation and is environment friendly, called the Ecocrete. Ecocrete is an eco-friendly product of ACC, it replaces the use of Portland Cement (OPC) to a higher extent with cement materials without replacing any other important properties. But it has a higher durability compared to OPC against external weathering loses.

Besides promoting sustainable development, Ecocrete increases resistance to sulphates, reduces chloride-ion penetration, and improves resistance to aggressive environments. It reduces the heat of hydration, provides excellent durability, and improves workability, pumpability and placeability during concrete pours. It also reduces shrinkage, bleeding promotes better shutter finish and aesthetics and segregation.
