Uses of Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA)

With the environmental impacts of obtaining primary raw materials becoming less and less acceptable, using PFA from RWE Power International helps to reduce the demand for virgin aggregates and assists you in meeting your recycling targets and reducing your carbon footprint.

The properties of PFA make it an ideal, cost effective alternative to primary aggregates across a range of applications, including:

Grouting
