Manufacturing Process

Cement industry contributes a whopping 8% of global human-made CO2 emissions, of which 50% is from the chemical process, and 40% from burning fuel. Cement manufacture contributes to greenhouse gases directly through the production of carbon dioxide when calcium carbonate is heated and indirectly through the use of energy, primarily if the energy is sourced from fossil fuels. The amount of CO2 emitted by the cement industry is close to 900Kg of CO2 for every 1000Kg of cement produced. India is the second-largest producer of cement in the world, and it has become the need of the hour that we soon change our ways and switch to ‘Green’ construction material.

Navrattan Green Cement Industries Pvt. Ltd. (NGCIPL) is one such firm in India that owns the IPR of ‘Navrattan Green Crete’ all over the world.

The manufacturing process of the Crete does not pollute the environment and is entirely Eco-friendly in every sense, thus the name ‘Green Crete.’ Navrattan Green Crete is 100% Eco-friendly Crete as it does not involve any use of limestone. The manufacturing of the product utilizes 90% disposed and waste materials, slag and fly ash, and 10% of the company’s specially devised innovative formula. The manufacturing of the Crete is free of any baking and burning process; thus, no carbon is emitted into the atmosphere, making it a non-polluting Eco-friendly ‘Green Crete.’

The product offers numerous advantages over the OPC:

• Navrattan Green Crete is much stronger and durable than Portland Cement.
• Green Crete exhibits non-curing properties.
• The product is 100% fire-resistant.
• Zero Carbon emission – thus, remarkably reduces our carbon footprint.
• As the Green Crete does not use limestone and the burning process and also does not use large energy-intensive kilns, thus are less expensive than the cement available in the markets.

NGCIPL innovates the Technology and the materials used. Technology is patented using a Proprietary Binder derived through a species of Algae and other marine life, and a guarded extraction process, which ultimately transforms an Enzyme of the Algae into a highly concentrated Elastic Polymeric Powder. We use the name “Elastopolymer” because it best describes an Elastic Polymeric Cement that has Flexibility and Memory.

The Magic of Navrattan Green Crete Polymer is that it binds by Covalent Bonding, which is a joining of two atoms when the two share a pair of electrons. Individual polymer chains in the Green Crete Proprietary binder are linked together by these Covalent Bonds to form one Single Molecule with all of the Aggregates. Due to the Covalent Bonding nature of Navrattan Crete, it becomes Monolithic, and cures by an Exothermic Reaction, which intrinsically expels the water.

The whole process of extracting and binding is carefully carried out by the experts in the laboratory. Once prepared, the formula is taken forward for giving it the shape of the product. The Navrattan Green Crete is the perfect alternative of cement that will not only ensure sustainable structures but will significantly reduce our carbon emission and save Earth.
