The Technology
Advanced Geopolymer (Geokrete)
Geokrete is a phosphate binded ceramic cement technology - the chemical reaction
between inorganic polymer anions and metal cations to form a strong, dense and
durable matrix which can be made to set in few seconds to minutes

Geokrete differs from conventional Geopolymer from the perspective that it uses
acidic solutions instead of alkaline to form the binding phase. It is also differs from the
traditional Geopolymer that it is formed at ambient temperature instead of elevated
temperature

Non Shrink
Because of its ability to bound water along with its reaction products and conversion
of metal oxides to hydroxides, expands slightly during setting. This prevents formation
cracks related to shrinkage

The Technology - Continued

Cold Weather Concreting

Because of its unique chemistry, reduces the freezing point of the water thereby
preventing the water from freezing at subzero temperature enabling the chemical reaction
to proceed. In addition the heat generated by the exothermic reaction assists faster gain of
strength even at very low temperature

Water Impermeability
It sets by exothermic chemical reaction with a minimal transformation time between liquid
to solid state and needs a very low water cement ratio comparing to any other cementing
system. This leads to formation of very dense micro structure with very minimal
interconnected pores, reducing its water absorption to near zero level

Durability
Because of the presence of disconnected pores, decreased permeability and absence of
phases like Tricalcium Aluminate which is responsible for Sulphate attack in ordinary
Portland cement, Geokrete is highly durable and not affected by commonly found salts in
air and ground water such as sulphates and chlorides

The Technology - Continued

Fire Resistance
Geokrete has zero flame spread and poor thermal conductivity and hence does not
heat the substrate as rapidly as other material do. Since its mineral constituent gets
converted into a glassy phase material when heated beyond 1200 deg C, it becomes
immune to very high temperature

Acid Resistance
Because of its neutral pH coupled with decreased permeability has got a superior acid
resistance when compared to all other cement system

Versatility
Geokrete because of its unique chemistry exhibits excellent bonding characteristic and
provides Physical and Chemical bonding. It can bond most of the materials without
priming except items plastic, polished glass , etc

Application Recommendations
Cold Weather

The setting time and strength specified in product catalogue and in the previous slides of this
presentation are standard performance at 30°C. The setting time will be marginally delayed and
the strength gain will be marginally lowered at lower temperature than 30°C

They can be altered to our requirement by adding the accelerator provided by us and or by
adding hot water

Application Recommendations
Hot Weather
The setting time and strength specified in product catalogue and in the previous slides of this
presentation are standard performance at 30°C. Setting time will be marginally shortened and
the strength will be marginally increased at temperature higher than 30°C

Setting time can be increased without affecting the strength to have adequate working time by
adding cold water. Setting time can also be increased by adding the retarder supplied by us but
by compromising marginal strength
