EN 18136 and the future of ground limestone

Join this webinar on 7th October at 2:00 PM CEST to discover how the new EN 18136 standard impacts ground limestone qualification, formulation design, and cementitious system performance.

Why EN18136 matters now

Ground limestone is widely used in cementitious systems, but its performance can vary significantly depending on its quality and characteristics. EN 18136 introduces a new framework for the classification, qualification, and specification of ground limestone materials, bringing greater consistency and transparency to the industry. But what do these new requirements mean in practice, and how can they be translated into formulation value?
