The Science

We start with our ingredients

We use a proprietary mix of waste materials from coal combustion that would otherwise end up in landfill as a replacement for the sand and aggregates that are traditionally used in concrete.

it undergoes a chemical reaction

As these ingredients mix with water they undergo a chemical reaction that “geopolymerizes” the individual ingredients into a stronger, non-toxic and sustainable concrete.

the result is geopolymer concrete

While our exact mix of ingredients is the result of years of investment in research and development, the end result is geopolymer concrete, just like traditional Roman concrete that’s been around for centuries.

A rich history

Geopolymer concrete goes back to Roman times

Geopolymer reactions require two parts – a source of alumina silicates as well as an alkali activator. The Romans combined volcanic ash mined from sources like the island of Pozzollo with lime made by kilning limestone at a relatively low temperature to make a very strong concrete. While modern concrete maintains its structural integrity for decades, this traditional form of concrete known often as roman concrete has been known to last for thousands of years.

In the 1980s a French materials scientist named Joseph Davidovits researched this thousand-year-old structure and came up with a name for the unique process of creating it – Geopolymer Concrete.

Decades later, we consulted with one of the world-renowned experts on geopolymer concrete, a student of Davidovits, Trung Hau to create our propriety mix creating geopolymer concrete from repurposed materials.
