Carbon Limit has announced the debut of CoolCrete, a heat-reducing product addition to its line of sustainable concrete additives. Carbon Limit has partnered with NCP Industries (NCP) and Bison Innovative Products (Bison) as licensing affiliates to launch a new series of architectural design products incorporating CoolCrete technology, bringing the product to commercial and residential projects worldwide.
CoolCrete is a functional Supplementary Cementitious Material that reduces the overall carbon footprint of concrete by up to 40% through replacing a portion of conventional cement that is emissions-intensive. The versatile additive achieves temperature reduction through solar reflectance and thermal emittance. CoolCrete also increases concrete's ability to reflect sunlight, reducing overall heat absorption while releasing absorbed heat.
CoolCrete is designed to directly combat the ongoing heat crisis and Urban Heat Island Effect.
“Heat-related deaths have doubled in recent decades, exceeding 2,300 deaths in 2023 alone, a figure that is expected to grow as record high temperatures become the norm,” said Tim Sperry, CEO and founder of Carbon Limit. “Our families and children deserve better, which is the true intent behind solutions like CoolCrete that not only keep our families safe, but ensure future generations can enjoy the outdoors as we once did."
NCP and Bison currently design and manufacture a range of building commodities such as pavers, stone sidings and adjustable pedestal systems for rooftop decking. As partners, the businesses have already begun working on new editions of products that incorporate CoolCrete technology.

“Combining Carbon Limit’s technology with our products has been a seamless effort. It doesn’t require new machinery, grants flexibility, is cost-efficient and helps the environment,” said NCP president Ryan Collison. “Carbon Limit allows us to expand our support of the sustainable construction and design industry, and we couldn’t be more excited to continue this effort by getting CoolCrete-infused products on the shelves soon.”
