FEATURE CONSTRUCTION: ELIUM WILL SPEED UP THE ROLLOUT®of composite concrete reinforcements And what if using Elium resin for concrete reinforcements was® the turning point for civil engineering? In a market dominated by steel reinforcements, how does this new thermoplastic material make it easier to produce composite reinforcements and considerably improve their use on construction sites and their supply? Arkema and its partners are working with the building industry to teach it about the key advantages of Elium composite® reinforcements, which are rustproof but above all thermosettable. In other words, they can be bent directly on construction sites. This last feature—which thermoset composites do not have— is what makes all the difference! 26
