trials with our supply partner Cemfloor, Leiths

Leiths Cementitious Limestone Filler
THE NEW MILLING FACILITY AT
OUR HIGHLAND LIME QUARRY
CAN NOW PRODUCE
A CEMENTITIOUS LIMESTONE
FILLER (CLF).
The CLF which complies with BS7979 can be used
as a supplementary cementitious material in the
production of concrete. Initial laboratory trials
have been completed on the CLF in which the
benefits for use in concrete can include:
•
•
•
•
•
Improved cohesion and concrete workability
Reduced risk of segregation
Reduced bleeding in concrete
Lower water demand
Shortened setting time
As a partial replacement for cement, the CLF
has a reduced embodied Co2. Lowering the
environmental footprint of concrete is part of
Leiths Greener Solutions. Under the leadership
of Stephen Stewart, plant trials have begun using
CLF at the Blackhills Quarry Concrete Plant with
the roll out to other Leiths Plants anticipated over
the next few months.
