Overview
CHEMICALLY ENGINEERED HIGH PERFORMANCE CEMENT
Instacem™ is high performance cement based on new generation microcrystalline technology with many superior properties over Portland cement and complying with American standard ASTM C 1600. Unique properties are achieved by careful selection and processing of raw materials and blending with proprietary additives.
WHY INSTACEM™
The primary advantage of Instacem™ is its “Quick setting and Curing Free” nature.
Concretes, grouts and mortars made with Instacem™ can be formulated to achieve compressive strengths excess of 20 MPa or 3000 psi in as little as 4 hours. It is possible to attain desired 28 day strength in 24 hrs. “Quick Return to Service - RTS in few Hrs”.
Inherent chemistry of Instacem™ makes it to “set in low temperatures”.
It is less permeable to water and superior resistant to chemicals. Makes it an ideal choice to use in constructions and repair where return to service and durability are of primordial importance.
HOW IT WORKS
Faster dissolution and precipitation of constituents present in Instacem™ results in the quicker formation of micro fine crystals which fills the pore structure thereby increasing the density of the matrix and reducing permeability. The crystals thus formed are enrobed by the Aluminate, Carbonate and Silicate phases making it stable and more durable.
HOW TO USE
In the same way as Portland cement and hence easy adoption.
INVENTION BACKGROUND
Although Portland cement has been successfully used for many years, it is not without limitations. Some of the common problems associated with Portland cement products are slow strength gain, cracking due to drying shrinkage, porosity and need of water curing, susceptible to attack by chemicals, Alkali Silica Reaction, difficulty to set in low temperature, etc.
The quest for high performance cement drove our efforts in R&D that resulted in Instacem™.
RESEARCH BACKGROUND
Instacem™ is a patent pending technology invented by world renowned scientist at which is supported by a independent research lab involved in R&D of innovative technologies in the areas of alternative binders having zero cement, high performance cements, advanced coatings, innovative building materials, effective utilization of industrial by products and hazardous waste stabilization has state of art material science laboratory, pilot plants and team of scientist and engineers. It has many other inventions like Clinker free slag cement, Clinker free fly ash cement, Advanced Geopolymer, permanent anticorrosive coating, alternative to gypsum board, etc.
TECHNOLOGY BRIEFING
Instacem™ is a viable alternative to Portland cement with several advantages due to its different hydration chemistry and microstructure. The following are the key properties of our Instacem™ hydraulic binder :
- QUICK SETTING AND NO WATER CURING
- RAPID STRENGTH GAIN
- DECREASED WATER PERMEABILITY
- INCREASED BOND STRENGTH
- NON –SHRINK
PRODUCT FORMULATION MATRIX
Instacem™ is ideal cement for manufacturing unique quick setting and curing free products with superior properties. With the inbuilt performance additives, it is very easy to formulate a wide range of products by just blending with the required sand and aggregates – An ideal choice for Construction Chemical and Premixed Products Manufacturers.
APPLICATIONS
- CONSTRUCTION
- RENOVATION
- INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIR
- WATERPROOFING
- DISASTER MANAGEMENT
- DEFENSE
- PRECAST
- CONSTRUCTION CHEMICAL MANUFACTURING
- BUILDING MATERIAL
COST BENEFITS
Having Instacem™ in a project and using it for specific application translates to completing a job with suitable tools and reaping related benefits.
Eventhough Instacem™ is marginally expensive than Portland cement on a first-cost basis it actually leads to lots of cost savings and convenience when worked out on end to end cost.
Cost savings comes from factors like curing elimination, equipment rental minimization and huge time saving due to rapid return to service or quickly getting ready for further process like painting, coating etc.
For a contractor or owner, the value of time for a repair delay that results in a late opening of a parking garage, an airport runway or a retail center is often much greater than the premium paid for Instacem™. On many jobs, bonuses offered for getting a job done on time or project completed earlier is money well spent.….
