Markets For Geopolymer Materials

Geopolymer materials are particularly effective against H2S corrosion in sewer and wastewater systems and are also used for structural restoration and as bedding mortar for refractory applications. Gemite plans to develop geopolymer materials suitable for the spin-cast application of liners in sewers and pipes.

Geopolymer materials can be used to restore the strength of the structures.

Sewer Rehabilitation

Advanced geopolymer mortars, formulated for spin-cast application, will be developed as soon as possible. This novel technology, compatible with pipes of various shapes, will provide a durable protective lining for aging sewer and water pipelines, enhancing resilience in essential infrastructure maintenance.

Geopolymer materials offer great protection in Chemical Plants and similar structures

Structural Strengthening

Geo-Poly Mortar outperforms epoxy systems for structural strengthening, offering excellent bond even on wet and contaminated surfaces, with superior fire resistance and no ignition risk. It’s safer, more cost-effective, and compatible with carbon or glass fabrics.

Geopolymer materials use in Plants and mining brings additional benefits

Chemical And Petrochemical Industries

Geo-Poly materials provide superior resistance to inorganic acids and other chemicals used in chemical plants and petrochemical processing. This results in reduced maintenance and longer-lasting infrastructure, leading to significant cost savings over time.

Our geopolymer materials offer excellent protection for high temperature and acidic environments.

Mining And Hydrometallurgical Processing

The high chemical resistance of Geo-Poly materials protects against the corrosive substances encountered in mining and hydrometallurgical processes. This durability decreases the frequency of repairs and maintenance, cutting overall operational costs.

Geopolymer materials are ideal for secondary containment and radioactive containment.

Pulp And Paper Industries

Geo-Poly materials offer excellent protection against the acidic and high-temperature environments typical in the pulp and paper industry. This reduces the need for frequent maintenance and replacement, lowering maintenance costs and enhancing operational efficiency.

Environmental Protection Systems

Geo-Poly materials are ideal for secondary containment, radioactive containment, and flue gas desulfurization due to their resistance to extreme chemical and thermal conditions. This ensures reliable protection with minimal maintenance, reducing long-term costs and enhancing safety.

Key Benefits

Benefits Of Geopolymer Materials

Corrosion Resistance

Its alkaline properties and reduced porosity increase resistance to harsh acids and alkali, and exceptional resistance against MIC (microbial corrosion) and sulphate attack, outperforming calcium aluminate cements.

Exceptional Bond

Geopolymer chemical reaction produces a strong bond to concrete and steel, and between subsequently placed layers, unlike Portland cement mortars and concrete.

Abrasion Resistance, Toughness & Improved Durability

Geopolymer’s superior resistance to abrasion stands up to heavy industrial wheel traffic, and its durability is enhanced by high resistance to chloride, and reduction in alkali-silica reactivity.

Reduced Carbon Footprint

Geopolymers utilize industrial waste like fly ash and GGBS, use 60% less energy than Portland cement, produce up to 90% less CO2, and help to absorb pollutants.

High Heat + Fire Resistant

These materials can endure temperatures up to 800°C (1,500°F) and offer excellent fire resistance, making them ideal for applications exposed to high heat.

Enhanced Structural Properties

They provide high compressive and tensile strengths, rapid initial strength gain, and improved durability, ensuring robust and long-lasting structures.

Controlled Rheology & Cost Efficiency

They are very versatile – non-sag rheology for spray applications or high-flow properties for casting. This enables quick turnaround, saves money and simplifies the application process.
