THE ULTIMATE CONCRETE
SPACE TEST

MISSÃO
Exceeded all expectations in the lab tests, let’s survive space?
Manufacturing high quality concrete products is a challenge. Making them flexible sounds like mission impossible. To accomplish all this and return intact from a space trip is out of reach but to Slimcrete. The intense radiation, high pressure and altitude, lack of atmosphere, and large temperature variation, all combined, were incapable of deteriorating this innovative product.
SUSTAINABILITY
A Cimenteira do Louro is strongly committed with the environment.
For this adventure we used a natural latex balloon
considering its ability to degrade as quickly as a tree leaf
Hydrogen was the gas we’ve chosen, as it is unharmful for the environment and can be easily obtained from water. Each step we take, whether when choosing raw-materials or production technics, is given careful thought to reduce the ecologic footprint to the least possible.
FIRST FLEXIBLE CONCRETE GOES (TO SPACE) FOR A SPACE WALK
For this adventure, on top of having to face space’s challenging conditions, Slimcrete was also shaped in a spiral, No other concrete could have taken on this defiance.
Com foco no ambiente, utilizando matérias-primas de elevada qualidade e
No other concrete could have taken on this defiance.
