What is a GeoPolymer?

Chemistry Primer: Geopolymers
Geopolymers or alkali cements consist predominantly alumino-silicates orpolymer Si-O-Al bonds and are similar in chemical make-up to naturalZeolites. Traditional starting materials for geopolymers cements are fumedsilica, fly ash & metal slag.
• Geopolymers can be produced fromcommercially available industrialwaste streams, creating a highlyenvironmentally friendly product.
• The chemical reactions ofgeopolymer create only a fraction ofthe CO2 emissions of standardcementitious materials.
• Geopolymers have excellentchemical and thermal resistance andcan essentially be consideredengineered stone.

GeoSpray Geopolymer Mortar: Physical Properties

Geopolymer Advantages: Self Bonding
Experimental Parameters:
• On the first day a series of 2” by 4”cylinders were cast half full and cured withon an approximately 45 angle.
• On subsequent days (1, 7, 14 and 28) thetop half of the cylinders were cast andfilled creating a 45 angled joint in thecenter of the cylinders
• Compressive strength tests were conducted28 days after the top half of the cylinderswere cast.
Joint in Tested Sample
GeoSpray is uniquely formulated to reduce/eliminate cold jointsbetween layers.

Geopolymer Advantages: Self Bonding
Results:
• Samples cast of GeoSpray (both halves) when tested under compression did not break at the joint.
• The chemical nature of GeoSpray allows for chemical bonding across the interface even with pours 28 days apart resulting in a monolithic structure.
• Samples cast of competitive cement mortars always broke along the angled joint essentially creating 2 separate layers.

Geopolymer Application Advantages: Footprint
All required equipment is housed in a single 24 ft box truck, with a hopper and materials storage. All repair equipment fits down a standard 24 inch diameter manhole.

Geopolymers: Centrifugal Casting Process
Centrifugal Casting of GeoSpray• Rapidly distributes material within the
pipe’s internal circumference .
• Forms a strong, low permeability, mortar lining.
• Depending upon design & thickness, creates a “pipe within a pipe” and does not rely on the integrity of the host structure.
• While not generally required, it is compatible with most common reinforcement technologies.
