How does the use of NP reduce greenhouse gases? For every ton of cement produced worldwide, approx 1 ton of carbon is added to the earth’s atmosphere. Whereas NP can replace up to 40% of cement in a concrete mix design or in cement production, that equates to up to a 40% reduction in the carbon footprint of a yard of pour concrete. That is a significant environmental benefit.
Are there other examples of the benefits of using NPs? NPs are well known for their use in Roman concrete structures such as the coliseum, the pantheon, the aqueducts, the highways, the cisterns, etc. These structures have endured in magnificent condition for approximately 2000 years. Modern concrete, without benefit of NP, often deteriorate in a matter of decades, and in extreme examples, in a matter of just a few years. Use NPs to protect, strengthen, and fortify your concrete for the long haul.
How expensive are NPs? NPS cover a broad range of pricing depending on the type desired for a particular application. Please contact the listed pozzolan suppliers for information on their products and pricing.
