ARDEX Achieves 7.7% Emissions Reduction in Toitū Verified Report

Auckland: ARDEX New Zealand has announced a significant step forward in its sustainability journey, achieving a 7.7% reduction in gross greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2025, alongside a 5% reduction in carbon intensity per tonne of product sold.

The results, independently verified through the Toitū Carbon Reduce Certification Programme, reinforce ARDEX New Zealand’s commitment to measurable, transparent progress towards a lower-carbon future.

Ronald Rose, Commercial Director for ARDEX New Zealand, highlighted the significance of the business’s progress in measuring and reducing its operational emissions, while also looking ahead to broader reporting capabilities.

“Achieving meaningful, independently verified reductions across our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions is a significant milestone for ARDEX New Zealand. It reflects not only the effectiveness of our operational initiatives, but also the strength of having robust measurement frameworks in place through the Toitū programme.

“We’re particularly proud of the discipline and transparency this process has brought to our sustainability journey, giving us confidence in the data and the progress we’re making.

“Importantly, this is just the beginning. We’re actively working towards expanding our reporting capabilities and are excited to be in a position to share our Scope 3 emissions in the near future—providing a more complete view of our environmental impact across the value chain.

“Localising production has also been a major contributor to reducing our emissions footprint. By manufacturing certain liquid products locally rather than freighting them from Australia, we’ve significantly reduced transport-related emissions.

“Beyond that, we continue to drive practical improvements across the business—from rethinking packaging and pallet configurations to reduce freight inefficiencies, through to improving inventory management. More efficient shelf-life rotations have also reduced the amount of product sent to landfill, which is a critical step in minimising waste and supporting our broader sustainability goals.”

Supporting a lower-carbon construction industry

As sustainability becomes an increasingly important driver across the construction sector, ARDEX New Zealand is committed to supporting contractors, architects, and engineers with high-performance solutions aligned to evolving environmental standards.

The company’s approach supports broader industry efforts to improve resource efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and enable more sustainable construction practices across New Zealand.

Dew Point and Condensation in Construction: What, Why, When, Where, and How

What is Dew Point?
Dew point is the temperature where the air is so full of moisture it can’t hold any more, so water starts to come out of the air and collect on surfaces. This process creates condensation.
The dew point depends on both:
  • Humidity (how much moisture is in the air)
  • Air Temperature (which changes how much moisture the air can hold)
The colder the air the less moisture it can hold. When a surface cools to the dew point temperature or lower, the moisture in the air condenses into liquid water on that surface.
Think of a cold drink can on a humid day — water forms on the outside. The same happens on construction surfaces like concrete when they’re cooler than the surrounding air. This is especially common in early mornings, or during cold humid weather.
Why Does It Matter?
Condensation creates a thin film of water on surfaces. This interferes with how ARDEX products bond and cure. Specifically:
  • Cement-based adhesives and levellers may not set properly.
  • Epoxies may not harden as expected.
  • Membranes may blister or fail to adhere due to condensation on the adhesive.
  • Grouts may show efflorescence (salt deposits).
If moisture is trapped under a product, it can lead to long-term failures like delamination or weak bonding.
When Is It a Problem?
Dew point issues arise when:
  • Ambient temperatures drop below 10°C.
  • Humidity is high—common in winter or tropical climates.
  • Higher humidity or cooling causes surfaces to fall below dew point.
Where Does It Occur?
A typical example you can find condensation occurs is when using a solvent based adhesive. When solvent evaporates it can reduce the surface temp by up to 4°C. In simple terms if your current air temp is 12°C and dew point is 10°C. An application with solvent based adhesive will cause the surface temp down to 8°C and resulting condensation on the adhesive as it is now below dew point. You’ll see condensation risks in:
  • Concrete slabs and screeds, especially in basements or shaded areas and enclosed areas.
  • External and Internal surfaces exposed to a change in surface temperature cooling.
  • Indoors where air conditioning is running but moisture isn’t controlled.
How to Manage It
To avoid dew point-related failures:
  • Ensure surface and air temperatures stay above dew point. A simple weather info can show the dew point forecast for your location. (Below is example of dew point is only 3°C below air temperature).
  • Use dehumidifiers or air conditioning to reduce indoor humidity.
  • Simple air movement with fans, but not directly on the surface a least 500mm above the surface
  • Don’t apply ARDEX products to visibly damp or cool surfaces.
  • Use moisture barriers on concrete where drying is slow.
  • Prime surfaces to reduce moisture absorption.
  • Schedule critical work for warmer, drier parts of the day.
ARDEX advises against using water-based or cementitious products below 10°C and recommends checking substrate conditions before application.

The Effect of Cold Weather on the Performance of Adhesives, Grouts, Cements, and Liquid-Applied Membranes

How Cold Weather Affects Adhesives, Grouts, Cements & Liquid-Applied Membranes in New Zealand

As winter sets in across Aotearoa, it’s important for contractors, specifiers, and applicators to understand how colder temperatures can impact the performance of products like adhesives, grouts, cements, and liquid-applied membranes.

At ARDEX New Zealand, we’re committed to helping you get the best results year-round — and that means adjusting for seasonal changes in temperature, humidity, and curing conditions. Here’s what you need to know.

How Cold Temperatures Affect Installation Products

Colder weather slows down the chemical reactions essential for setting and curing. This can impact:

  • Drying & Curing Times: Most ARDEX products are designed to perform best between 10°C and 30°C. When temperatures drop below 10°C, you’ll notice significantly slower drying and curing, which can delay project timelines and affect final strength.

  • Workability: Adhesives and cements may become more viscous or stiff in the cold, making them harder to spread or apply uniformly.

  • Bond Strength & Durability: Inadequate curing due to low temperatures may reduce the bond strength and performance of the finished system.

  • Grouting Challenges: Grouts may not set properly or may retain excess moisture, affecting colour consistency and performance.

Tips for Working in Cold Conditions

To get the best results when working in lower temperatures, consider the following:

  1. Check the Ambient and Substrate Temperature: Ensure the surface and ambient temperatures are within the recommended range for your product. Most ARDEX systems require a minimum of 10°C during application and curing.

  2. Condition Your Materials: Store products in a warm, dry area prior to use. Cold adhesives or cements will take longer to set and may be harder to apply.

  3. Use Warm Water for Mixing (When Applicable): Slightly warm (not hot) water can help maintain product workability, particularly with cement-based adhesives and grouts.

  4. Avoid Frost-Affected Substrates: Never apply membranes or adhesives to frozen or frost-affected surfaces. Moisture within the substrate can expand when frozen, compromising the bond.

  5. Plan for Extended Curing: Build additional drying and curing time into your schedule. Avoid rushing applications, especially with waterproofing membranes or tile installations.

  6. Use Heaters (Where Appropriate): In enclosed or indoor environments, temporary heating can help maintain optimal temperatures — but ensure proper ventilation to prevent condensation.

ARDEX Products Designed for NZ Conditions

ARDEX NZ offers a range of high-performance adhesives, grouts, membranes, and cements specifically formulated for local climates. For colder regions like the South Island or higher elevations, our technical team can recommend systems best suited for winter conditions.

ARDEX Achieves Toitū Envirocare carbonreduce Certification for the Third Year

ARDEX New Zealand has successfully completed the third year with Toitū demonstrating rigorous reporting processes and data accuracy, marking another step forward in its long-term commitment to achieving carbon zero journey as a building materials manufacturer.

ARDEX has achieved significant progress in reducing its environmental footprint, as evidenced by participation in the Toitū carbonreduce Certification Programme. This independent programme verifies and quantifies greenhouse gas emissions, allowing organisations to track their progress towards sustainability goals.

The programme looks at six categories of emissions including operational activities, purchased energy, and impacts from some value chain activities, which relate to Scope 1, 2, and 3 sources to outline direct and indirect emissions. The results form part of an ARDEX shared responsibility to go Zero by 2045 (CO2 neutral for all scopes group-wide by 2045).

According to Ronald Rose, Commercial Director, ARDEX New Zealand, the Ardex Group has set several global sustainability goals, many of which will take time and require advancements in raw materials technology.

“Achieving Toitu Carbon Reduce has allowed us to deeply examine our local efforts and focus on innovative ideas that can make a difference now as we prepare for the future,” he said. “At ARDEX, we believe that focusing on new technologies and removing carbon where possible, rather than offsetting, is a step in the right direction for the benefit of the planet.”

Just some of the improvement projects include transport and logistics.

“By localising our manufacturing processes, we are able to reduce sea freight distances and minimize the carbon footprint associated with transporting materials. This not only supports our sustainability goals but also strengthens our commitment to the New Zealand community,” said Andrew Clayton, Operations Manager, ARDEX New Zealand.
