TX Active® Photocatalytic Cement
For Self-Cleaning and Pollution-Reducing Concrete

Essroc, headquartered in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, is a member of the Italcementi Group, the fifth largest cement producer in the world. Essroc, a leading producer of cement, concrete, and related materials, continues to deliver superior value by providing quality and innovative products and services. One such product innovation, TX Active®, is at the forefront of the sustainable movement.

TX Active® is a highly engineered cement technology developed by Essroc Italcementi Group for the production of self-cleaning and de-polluting concrete. Accomplished by the use of proprietary technology and the principle of photocatalysis, TX Active will destroy atmospheric compounds that discolor concrete surfaces over time. In addition, TX Active will absorb and reduce the primary pollutants which are deemed harmful to human health and our environment.

Essroc Italcementi Group research teams were compelled to develop this breakthrough technology as a way to abate the ever-increasing air pollution affecting urban areas, to keep structures more aesthetically pleasing with less exterior maintenance and to contribute to a better quality of life.

TX Active is now at work in several architectural landmarks, most notably the Dives in Misericordia Church in Rome, Air France headquarters at Charles DeGaulle Airport in Paris and numerous other sites throughout Europe and North America. Available through Essroc’s manufacturing operations in North America, TX Active is expanding the creative latitude of architectural designers seeking to empower their structures with the cleaner and greener capabilities unique to this cement technology.
