About Us
OUR STORY
Another term for Geopolymer is Alkali Activated Cement. Alkali Activated Cements have been around for thousands of years. While in the Roman and Egyptian times the binders were based upon basic materials including crushed limestone and wood ash, and were designed generally with one characteristic consisting of strength; most times low strength.
At Geopolymer cement’s we have a final ready-made solution that has baffled many researchers through years of innovations and investment. The problems consisted of shrinkage (plastic, drying, and autogenous), time of set, caustic behaviours, and relatively low strength. We accomplished this by abandoning the typical researcher’s path that included unsafe dry and liquid chemicals, without sacrificing quality and the sustainability of Geopolymers’ including ensuring no Portland Cement is used in our mixtures.
We have developed our systems to cover and solve a number of problem’s Portland cement causes. Sea and underground erosion play a significant part in long term asset maintenance and replacement. With this in mind, we solve this problem by offering long-lasting & durable materials that out-perform any other materials on the market. Other benefits are significantly faster drying times with 28 days strength in as little as 2 hours. This helps expedite the application process and reduces project times & cost.
The professionals are responsible for navigating the generally coarse path of all new and highly technical materials. The acceptance of our materials has been difficult due to the failure of most academia to solve the problems with the most advanced cement on the planet, and the corresponding disbelief that a private company such as ours has accomplished the task fully. Some of this scepticism has been alleviated by the certification of our production plant and materials by agencies such as Underwriter Laboratories LLC, which have issued three designs to GPS for Spray Applied Fireproofing including certifications for our ASTM C119/UL263 and UL1709 mixtures. The vast majority of our customer base consists of return clientele, most of which completed a comprehensive laboratory testing process prior to using our materials.
The quality of our materials was highlighted while Underwriter Laboratories’ conducted their tests. The chemical bonding of all our materials to metal substrates occurs at the molecular level and consequently removes the possibility that all of our materials will ever be removed from the metal after application.
Geopolymers reducing the use of Portland and in some cases eradicate and replace
Our product contains about 70% silicon dioxide, some sodium carbonate, some calcium, and maybe some alumina, and magnesium. This give us a geopolymer with Glass like technology but the strength of concrete
Note –Zero Portland
It’s one of the most durable manmade materials on the planet
- Has a life expectancy measured in millennia
- Has a carbon footprint reduction of 90% to 95% of that required for Portland Cement, working towards negative environment impact
- Is one of the most durable construction materials on the planet
