History of Densit and the DSP Technology
The Danish company Aalborg Portland wanted to create a cement of ultra high-strength during the 1960's, but it wasn't untill the 1970's before they had a breakthrough and Densit, as a company, saw the light of day. As part of Aalborg Portland, Densit created the DSP technology - Densified Systems containing homogeneously arranged ultrafine Particles.

This new technology formed the basis for producing a class of materials with extrordinary properties in terms of hardness, strength, impermeability, wear resistance, impact resistance and chemical resistance.

In 1983 Densit® was established as a public limited company within the Aalborg Portland group. During the 1980's Densit products, namely Ducorit®, find their use in the cement, power and paper industries as lining for wear protection. Densit products also found their way into the security industry where manufacturers of vaults and security barriers started using Densit® cement.

It was also during the late 1980's that Densit® developed a new semi-flexible pavement system called Densiphalt® and in cooperation with Phønix (now NCC) they also develop opengraded asphalt which the Densiphalt can fill out. It is also during this time that Densit® products are found to be excellent for strengthening offshore structures.

In the 1990's Densit® receives its ISO 9002 certification as well as securing some of the largest orders the company has seen with the port of Rotterdam taking top spot by purchasing 170,000 sqm of Densiphalt®. In the late 1990's Densit's material Ducorit is also starting to be used for grouting of connections in offshore wind turbines.

During 2001 Aalborg Portland merges with FLS Industries and Densit therefore becomes a part of the FLSmidth group. Densit gets re-certified as ISO 9001:2000 and establishes Densit® Asia Pacific in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, as well as setting up a sales office in Germany for wear protection.

In 2007 FLSmidth A/S sells Densit® to Illinois Tool Works Inc. as of 31 October and the corporate form of Densit® therefore changes to a Limited Liability Company.

In 2008 Densit ApS celebrates its 25th anniversary, as well acquiring ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance.

Main Business Areas
Densit ApS concentrates its efforts on three main business areas - renewable energy, industrial flooring and pavements and wear protection.

Renewable Energy
Densit ApS is engaged in the renewable energy sector by supplying turn-key grouting solutions for both on and offshore wind turbines as well as wave and tidal energy solutions.

The grouting is carried out by filling the annulus between the transition piece and the pile with pumpable Ducorit® - a cement based special grout that sets in less than 24 hours.

Since the year 2000 Densit has carried out grouting services at 18 wind farms and so far has grouted no less than 75% of the world's offshore wind turbines.

Industrial Flooring and Pavements
Densit® currently has three main products when it comes to industrial flooring and pavements, namely: Densiphalt®, Densitop® and DensiCobb. Common for all three solutions is that they take advantage of the high strength and wear resistance which the Densit cement provides.

The flooring and pavement solutions have been used in many different industries such as in ports, airports, the fresh food industry, for road paving and for use in office buildings.

Products in industrial flooring and pavements: Densiphalt®, Densitop®, DensiCobb.

Wear Protection
For more than 25 years Densit® has been supplying wear protection solutions and services to OEMs and processing plants around the world. The Densit® product range in wear protection comprises a number of products which are used in cement, power, steel and other industries.

Products in wear protection: Densit® WearFlex, Densit® WearSpray, Densit® WearCast, Densit® Cast basalt, Densit® Alumina Ceramic
