Geopolymer
Geopolymer is a type of inorganic polymer that is created by the chemical reaction of aluminosilicate materials, such as fly ash or metakaolin, with an alkaline solution. This process results in a durable and environmentally friendly material that can be used in construction and other applications. Geopolymers are known for their high resistance to heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress.
One of the key advantages of geopolymer technology is its potential to reduce carbon emissions compared to traditional Portland cement. By utilizing industrial by-products, geopolymers can contribute to sustainable building practices. Their unique properties make them suitable for various uses, including road construction, fireproofing, and waste encapsulation.
