Nanogence products are customized smart catalysts that enhances the binding efficiency of cementitious and inorganic binder systems. During the hydration process, it effectively activates the right chemical speciation to combine together to selectively form elevated amount of higher density connecting crystals that are responsible for binding all aggregates together giving the final strength and durability. The formation of the right crystal and their quantity is the key to getting ultra high performance on strength.
For each cement type or concrete or any other inorganic binder the chemical system varies and hence a customised formulation of catalyst is needed. We have over 70 different formulation in our arsenal to cater to almost all commercially available chemical system worldwide. Thanks to our patented technology and fomulations, we have detemined the chemistry happening right at the nanolevel and found the crucial mechanism that influence the properties of the materials. Below is one example of the ordinary portland cement system and mechanism how the catalyst work.
Thanks to catalyst chemical actions the system reactivity can be enhanced from 50 to 200%. Other durability aspect such as carbonation is also greatly improved resulting in all around improvement in the lifetime of the material. The catalyst effect can be applied at binder producer or binder user or combination of both for maximum gain.
Binder producer : Clinker and cement producer
Binder user : Concrete, Mortar, Drymix mortar, mining, pavement, pre-cast, Dry-cast etc.
From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. One major cause of climate change is attributed to the aggressive emission of human-made greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere with the growing urbanization. The increase in the greenhouse gases have resulted in the increase in the surface temperature of our planet leading to catastrophic disaster in every continent.
Construction sector is nearly a $10 trillion USD industry that employs roughly about 21% of the working population. Its contributes to roughly 3.8 billion tons of manmade carbon emissions. With Nanogence catalyst technology, we can contribute profoundly in the reducing this impact specially considering that the technology can be integrated in the existing manufacturing process, presenting little to no barrier entry unlike other technologies.
