TechCement, Outside the Box Materials

TechCement™ Geopolymer Cement

Pozzolans have been around for thousands of years. The Romans used them to create structures that have passed the test of time. TechCement takes pozzolanic geopolymers to new levels in order to meet ASTM, ACI and other specification codes.

A geopolymer is a type of inorganic polymer that is created from a combination of materials that usually include an aluminosilicate source material, such as fly ash, and an alkaline activator, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. Geopolymers have a wide range of uses, including construction, cement, and as a building material. Geopolymers are environmentally friendly due to their low carbon footprint and the ability to replace traditional, carbon–intensive materials.
