GEOPOLYMER MATERIALS & TECHNOLOGY

Gemite® Group has been developing and manufacturing advanced specialty materials for structural restoration, waterproofing and lining of water, wastewater and infrastructure since 1980’s.  Gemite® Materials and Systems have been field tested and verified to extend life span of deteriorated structures to over 50 years.

Geopolymers deliver better physical performance than traditional Portland concrete and provide additional advantages, even in extreme environments, while significantly reducing greenhouse emissions.

Geopolymers offer superior chemical resistance to corrosion, acid and alkali attack, deliver high resistance to temperature and fire, and are better suited in most exposure conditions in various industrial markets, including power production, chemical industry, and oil and gas.

Corro-Chem Advantages Over Portland Cement Materials

TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH

Convert Waste materials into High-Profit Materials and Products

Gemite’s Technological Advantage allows to repurpose local fly ash or slag into geopolymer coatings, mortars or precast products.  Using customized mix designs, most waste and inexpensive raw materials are transformed into high-performance products with significantly higher added value.

Geopolymer Technical Parameters can be Customized for Specific Application

 Density                               Customisable from low density insulating materials, to high density concrete
 Chemical Resistance     High resistance to acids – to resistant to combination of acids and alkali
 Thickness                         Modifiable from thin coatings to mortar and concrete

An extensive database allows us to quickly formulate customised products that satisfy variety performance parameters required, using raw materials from virtually any source.

Blast furnace slag (iron production waste) and fly ash (coal-fired power generation waste) can be converted into high profit materials using chemical activation.

Materials are 2-component or 1-component

Geopolymer Materials 

  • Corro-Chem™ products are cost-effective, next-generation geopolymer formulations
  • Contains at least 70% raw materials that are reactive
  • Can be sprayed, trowelled, poured and cast
  • Added benefit = Reduced carbon footprint

Geopolymer Admixtures

  • Corro-Admix can be custom tailored to produce geopolymer materials and cast products
  • Uses local fly ash or slag
  • Turns low or no value waste materials into high value products
  • Delivers high profits – without requiring large investments

Technology Transfer

  • Complete Technology transfer to Licensee
  • Protected Territory
  • Reduces costs, simplifies logistics and eliminates transportation expenses
  • Suitable for high volume customers

CORRO-CHEM PROPERTIES

SEWER REHABILITATION

Geopolymer spray lining is a high performance, high strength, ultra-low porosity mortar specifically designed to rapidly form a new structural lining inside the existing sewer pipe. Application can be done regardless of pipe shape, deformities, turns, slopes and separated joints, and Corro-Chem™ bonds tenaciously to virtually any surface.

STRUCTURAL STRENGTHENING

Replacing epoxy with Geopolymer greatly increases fire endurance and reduces fire hazard associated with polymeric coatings.
