A Journey from a Waste Product to an Invaluable Resource

Isn?t fly ash basically a waste product of a thermal power station? Then how can it be an Invaluable Resource?

Let us see what fly ash achieves in totality: -

• It delays the heat of hydration and hence reduces the thermal cracks in concrete
• It improves the workability of concrete
• It makes the mix homogeneous and hence reduces segregation and bleeding
• The concrete finish is improved due to perfectly spherical fly ash particles
• The concrete permeability is substantially reduced which enhances the life of the structure
• Fly ash contributes to the long term strength in concrete

One of the greatest benefits of utilising fly ash is building a greener future.

Fly ash in itself is a waste product and it is a huge problem for disposal. From each power station, thousands of tons of fly ash are pumped into the ash lagoons every day. These fly ash lagoons are occupying millions of acres of agricultural land all over India.

When we replace every single ton of cement with fly ash, we are not only eliminating waste from our planet but also we are reducing the emission of 0.85 tons of CO2 into our atmosphere.

This is a unique Win - Win solution offered by fly ash and it is no wonder that Fly Ash is at the forefront amongst the green technologies being now adopted all over the world  by leading organisations.

We have a lot of fly ash in our country -  110 million tons a year!! However, only 10% of this ash meets the requirement of an excellent cement substitute material.

What do you do with the remaining 90% ash?
You need investment in  plant and equipment

• So that more people get the benefit 
• So that more structures are durable
• So that our Earth becomes greener

We also need strict quality assurance, 

• So that there are no more failures
• So that better replacement rates are achieved
• And the concrete costs less and less?

No wonder, Pozzocrete - the first and only fly ash product certified with the prestigious ISI mark - is recommended by leading professionals!
