Construction Materials

At WAC 2026, Sika and Uncountable shared how the Nuage digital laboratory program is connecting global R&D data, automation, and AI to reduce experiments and accelerate formulation development.

The recast EU Construction Products Regulation adds a Digital Product Passport: composition, origin, embodied carbon, and reuse data. Here's what coatings and materials R&D teams should structure now so it becomes an export, not a rebuild.

Cutting cement's carbon footprint is a reformulation problem, not a switch. Structured, connected R&D data lets cement teams reuse past mixes, cut long testing cycles, and prove the embodied-carbon reduction.

Gypsum board R&D isn't short of data, it's short of a way to learn from it. Trials repeat, raw-material variability hides, and lab wins fail at the board line. Structured, connected formulation data turns scattered trials into reusable knowledge.

Remmers brought its R&D data, formulations, raw materials, test results, and projects, into one connected system on Uncountable. Now Bodie, the built-in AI assistant, helps the team get from a configuration question to a usable answer much faster.

Uncountable is proud to announce that Soprema has selected Uncountable as their R&D data and knowledge management platform provider. Soprema, a leading manufacturer of waterproofing, insulation, soundproofing, and vegetated solutions for the building
