MAXtect™ combines the revolutionary technologies of an ultra-high performance cementitious matrix and high-strength fibers, providing maximum performance in mechanical properties, durability, and aesthetics.

MAXtect™ Benefits

MAXtect™ Performance

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) with compressive strengths up to 21,750 psi / 150 MPa.

Accelerated mix designs can achieve 80 MPa (12,000 psi) in 18 hours or less.

Advanced particle packing models allow for very low water-to-cement ratios with discontinuous porosity.

High strength fibers in the mix allow for less to no rebar reinforcement in the concrete elements while improving toughness.

Ultimate-Performance Concrete Applications

 

MAXtect™ is best for structures with stringent requirements, including:

 

  • Bridges (Precast connections, overlays, jacketing and repairs)

  • Architectural cladding panels

  • Structural elements in buildings

  • Hydraulic structures

  • Industrial slabs

MAXtect™, Inside Miami's Thompson Hotel

Faced with creating a signature element that was both art and structure, the Thompson Hotel project team turned to Amrize's MAXtect™—unlocking bold curves, coastal resilience, and refined forms that concrete alone couldn't achieve.
