Construction

Background

Green building technology is used to develop environmentally responsible and efficient building structure. To develop such structures; construction materials play a vital role and these are known as green building materials. Green building materials are responsible for sustainability and efficiency of a green building from design to demolition. These materials are also produced or selected as they consume less energy. Demand for green building materials have seen significant growth in recent years. Advanced materials such as cellulose, cotton, fiberglass and mineral wool are in great demand in the construction industry for insulation purpose. These materials are also eco-friendly and less toxic.

Our technology partner has significant experience of developing dry mortar, silicate and green concrete based building material products, using advanced chemistry and technology which has resulted in a large portfolio of products:

Background

Next Generation Dry Mortar

The global market for cement and dry mortar products is a large broad sector and a multi-billion dollar global market.

Cement and concrete
Floor screed and industrial flooring
Tile adhesive and grout Rendering
Waterproofing and protective treatments
Quality and Performance

Quality and Performance

Through advanced understanding of microstructure of concrete and over 15 years of research and development, we have developed high performance green concrete and dry mortars that conform to even the most stringent standards. No other cement and epoxy based products can achieve these levels of performance or long-term durability of our Eco and silicate products.

AboutThe Advantage

GGBS is used to make durable concrete structures in combination with ordinary Portland Cement and/or other pozzolanic materials.

Disruptive Silicate Technology

The silicate-based products offer superior resistance to corrosion, unsurpassed mechanical strength, stable up to temperatures of 1,350ºC, non-efflorescence, abrasion resistant, environment friendly and reasonable price performance compared to existing materials. They are disruptive product technology, key industry applications include:

Offshore marine and shipping and salt corrosive environments
Oil and gas production and pipeline distribution
Chemical and petrochemical processing plants
Waterproofing of industrial environments
Water and effluent pipeline coatings

This silicate technology is unique; it is water-based, with no volatile organic compounds, requires no special curing, and can be applied on concrete, cementitious and selected metal surfaces. It has vastly superior anti-acid corrosion qualities compared to epoxy coatings. The chemical resistance ranges from extreme acidity to extreme alkalinity, including organic acids (From pH 0-14). Products are also competitively priced even for applications such as water sewage, drainage and roof water proofing. Our silicate technologies and silicate products replaces epoxy resin products. Epoxy is an oil based organic material and is hazardous material to use with demanding health and safety procedures.

Silicate projects

Conventional cementitious and epoxy resin products have long been known in the market, but have some limitations: they are capillary-pore-active and tend to cracks (especially when using surface heating systems). Moreover, due to the tightening of the CO2 emission control system, research has increasingly developed in the direction of the activation of latent hydraulic binders, since these waste products are generated in large quantities on disposal sites or in ongoing production processes. These recyclable materials have a good carbon footprint, since already high energy was brought into them by the production process (steel production). By means of these intensified activities it has now been possible to formulate these slowly reacting, latent hydraulic binders in such a way that they have normal processing properties at room temperature (5 ° C.-40 ° C.), can be processed with existing processing methods and better form to a homogeneous, dense, shrink-free, crack- free and stable network. These formulations are label-free, solvent-free (for mixing, water is used as a solvent) and are completely environmentally compatible and recyclable

Flooring

An industrial flooring system should have high impact strength, have good abrasion resistance, and have no cracks and shrinkage. Our technology can solve building problems through an easy, cheap and permanent solution; for example batch water burdens, scum, erosion and many other issues, that are very difficult to solve with traditional construction products on the market. Our products can solve long-term flowing building and construction problems in a better way compared to common products.

Our products have the following advantages compared to our competitors:

Use green raw materials like fly ash and GGBS
Durable and unique.
Cheaper than comparable products based on epoxy resin
No labelling necessary
Avoids efflorescence

Sewer systems

In sewer systems, manure pits and wastewater treatment plants, one of our products can be used due to the acid resistance of pH 0-14. There is no inorganic material worldwide which can resist such load demonstrably.

Our product substitutes epoxy resin systems which are an expensive organic and can solve problems in the construction area which were not possible to solve until now.

This product can be applied on wet surfaces contrary to epoxy systems.

Green Building Products

Innovation is essential for firms’ competitiveness, survival and growth. It can drive competitive advantage, improve productivity and enable companies to capture higher value components of the value chain. The construction contracting industry in particular is perceived to have low levels of innovation, measured by R&D, compared with other sectors.

Construction is well placed to benefit from the opportunities presented by the global shift to a low carbon economy and green construction, but there is a continuing need to ensure investment in innovation and technology, alongside increased collaboration between businesses and research institutions to enable the realisation of this potential.

Self-sustainability and renewable resources have a significant impact on the success and development of community building projects around the globe.
Diverse and highly competitive marketplace.
Increasing emphasis on the modernisation of buildings, outsourcing and construction to ensure that businesses remain competitive and flexible during the current economic conditions.
