Multiple option binder alternatives which improve performance, durability, strength and speed if desired while removing cement content. Large scale C02 reductions are achievable.
About
The company has developed a series of high-performance binder systems, products, coatings, thermal barriers all with differing levels of carbon reduction. This system of binders has been developed over many years as a base technology. The technology base has been utilized in the mining sector for many years by multiple Tier 1 mining houses. The mining, infrastructure and tunnelling sectors use the product systems for the primary advantage of early age strength and speed of hydration, to improve development and commodity removal, or project advance. Whether it be considered an advantageous by-product or the primary reason our clients use our technology solutions, a tangible removal of OPC is a hallmark of our designs and systems. Removing a known and calculable proportion of OPC allows the end user to develop a transparent metric to calculate and report the level of C02 removal per design (to the kilogram). The problem of embedded carbon in concrete and specialty cementitious materials can be addressed, setting speed can be hastened, ultimate compressive strength will be increased, and a simple and calculable #C02 down metric can be articulated. Corporate mandates based around ESG and SDG's to position a company to at least be seen to procure goods or systems which can claim sustainability improvements is balanced against the ability of the market to be able to provide appropriate and adequate solutions. Potential market advantage if utilizing the companies other complimentary systems - licensed hexavalent chromium reduction and thermodynamic coatings. Implementation of thermodynamic coatings on tiles, brickworks, and internal and external surfaces such as plasterboard, cladding and steelworks will yield a minimum 20% reduction in energy requirement due to solar and thermal reflection and absorption. Valorized binder blends and grout and concrete systems is a key focus of the company's research going forward. GreenTech Cement brings viable and sustainable solutions to the market.
Key Benefits
Improved Strength. Increased set times if desired. Clear and transparent metrics which can show carbon reduction between 20-85%. Significant improvements in productivity. Increased profitability due to unit cost reduction and a decrease in inventory losses or recall. An improvement in the client's reputation based on all three key pillars, Strength, speed and sustainability. More robust finished goods with a high level of durability, and for our concrete systems, a reduction in water demand is significant step forward. Flexibility of design and the support of the company's industry leading experts.
