BG-FILCOTEN

when opposites

attract great things

<p> </p><p>FILCOTEN HPC (High Performance Concrete) is a material that unites outstanding technical properties with ecological sustainability. The optimised high-density structure of HPC makes it possible to construct extremely stable lightweight drainage channels – but it’s the idea behind it that makes it unique. <br><br><strong>Unique concept, revolutionary results. </strong><br>Our engineers wanted to bring together two extremes:<br>maximum performance with minimum environmental impact. <br><br><strong>Maximum performance, minimal environmental impact. </strong><br>After intensive development, they finally achieved their goal. FILCOTEN HPC <br>embodies these opposites, making it unique in the market. <br> </p>
