Progressive Planet Announces Superb Compressive Strength for New Low Carbon Cement
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE
In an exciting development for the building materials sector,
PozPyro, a supplementary cementing material (SCM), was developed to partially replace traditional
After rigorous testing, which involved preparing four separate batches of cement mortar cubes, the results are in: PozPyro's Strength Activity Index (SAI) averaged 108.75% at 7 days, surpassing traditional cements in early strength. The SAI is an industry standard for measuring the compressive strength of cement mortar cubes. This result means that the PozPyro material outperformed a cement only control mix by over 8%.
The early success of PozPyro signals a significant step forward in creating more greenhouse gas friendly building materials. As
Furthermore, PozPyro demonstrated excellent workability, with water demand rates between 99% and 109%, ensuring it is easy to use in various concrete applications.
"It is uncommon to see SCMs exceed the 7-day strength of the control
"These results are impressive, and underscore yet again the transformative nature of plasma in producing materials, in both an economically and environmentally beneficial manner, key to heavy industry", said Mr.
All four batches of mortar cubes will also undergo 28-day SAI tests with the results being available sometime after
