Construction Chemistry

CIRCOSIL® - multifunctional lightweight filler

Cirkel has been serving the buidling industry for decades with innovative product ideas and individual solutions.

CIRCOSIL® is an innovative, multifunctional Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate for versatile uses in construction chemistry formulations.

CIRCOSIL® provides a meaningful contribution to the performance of construction products. CIRCOSIL® has a unique combination of functionalities, which CIRCOSIL®can fully develop in your formulation.

So that not only the chemistry is right, all construction substances used on construction sites are ideally designed in terms of grain composition. For this Cirkel provides customised grain qualities. Our spectrum ranges from 3mm siftings to specially finely prepared materials in the µm range.


CIRCOSIL® is

  • bright white
  • synthetic mineral light aggregate
  • available in defined grain bands specially for your use
  • can be combined with all common additives

CIRCOSIL® effects

  • good water retention based on defined pore volume
  • excellent integration in cement systems due to distinctive functional surfaces
  • high level stability due to microstructuring
  • support for an even cement hydration
  • improvement in workability
  • increased yield
  • no contraction
