Sustainable... for world-class building in a global environment.

SYNTHEON™'s products and processes are engineered to enhance sustainable building practices throughout our market.

Innovative products like Elemix® Concrete Additive which dramatically improves the thermal characteristics of concrete, and accel-E® STEP wall system, which provides new levels of energy efficiency, free architects and builders to design and construct lighter, more energy efficient buildings with the flexibility that only a SYNCORE™ building envelope solution can provide.

  • Our materials are environmentally sound. accel-E panels contain recycled steel. Elemix additive supplements naturally occurring aggregates, decreasing the impact of construction on the environment. And together the light materials in both reduce the impact that transportation of heavier materials has on our ecosystem.
  • Our components are more agile and easier to control. Both Elemix additive and accel-E panels give you the freedom to build lighter and without specialized equipment while expanding design flexibility.
  • Our performance metrics are better. Enhanced R-values, decreased energy demands in construction and building operation, and reduced material consumption over traditional structural requirements are hallmarks of sustainability when using Elemix additive and accel-E panels.

And building with SYNTHEON systems can contribute significantly to LEED® and National Green Building Standard points for superior building certification and better operating values.
