Lower cost. Environmentally friendly. Higher performance.

These are just a few of the benefits JUNO XP can deliver. But most contractors also want a replacement product that’s easy to adopt, and equally important, produces a concrete that performs well and can withstand the test of time. On all fronts, JUNO XP delivers.

JUNO XP acts as an alternative supplementary cementitious material (ASCM) that reduces the need for traditional cement. Because JUNO XP is a powder, it can be easily incorporated into any conventional dispersion system — silo, hopper, supersacks, bags and dissolvable bags. Integration ease is what separates JUNO XP from other new technologies.

It can also save you money. Contractors can expect to see a reduction of 20 to 35 percent of the cost of conventional cement by adding JUNO XP to the mix. Savings and ease of use alone make JUNO XP a preferred alternative supplementary cementitous product.

Yet JUNO XP goes further by providing key environmental benefits. Since traditional cement production accounts for 88% of the emissions associated with the average concrete mix, JUNO XP provides a way to offset this pollution and provides a means to achieve LEED credits and an improved carbon footprint for your project. Reduction of cement in mix designs is a calculable formula recognized by ACI/ASTM for credits.

Best of all, the ease of use—plus the dollar and environmental savings—come with no sacrifice in performance. The proprietary and novel properties of JUNO XP change cement hydration at the molecular level to increase the strength (tensile and compressive) and the durability of concrete. And it improves the performance of concrete on other levels, including workability and shrinkage control.

JUNO XP has passed Stage 1 and 2 testing to achieve ASTM C1709 certification with impressive results, with final Stage 3 testing on the near horizon. Key early adopters are lab and field testing and piloting the product in various mix designs throughout the U.S. and Canada and report stellar results.
