The industrial path to LC3

Limestone calcined clay cements (LC3) have emerged as one of the most practical routes to reduce clinker content, but their successful deployment depends on managing raw material variability and ensuring consistent performance. This article outlines Molins’ industrial pathway from clay characterisation to the commercial production of low-clinker cement.
