Ceramic cement is a highly durable, fire-resistant, and sustainable alternative to traditional cement. It reduces carbon emissions, often uses industrial by-products, and can be tailored for advanced applications like 3D printing or structural repairs. Its longevity means fewer repairs and greater resilience, helping us build stronger, more sustainable infrastructure. Ultimately, this gives future generations a more stable, eco-friendly foundation to build upon.
The following is a direct comparison guide between Geopolymer and Portland cement:
Geopolymer Cement
- Can be reused (no waste)
- Geopolymer is 88%+ more sustainable
- 10,000 year lifespan
- Uses recycled or salt water for cleaning
- Waterproof
- Fireproof
- Acid resistant
- High strength, low cost
- Utilizes a vast array of aggregates and waste
- Can be utilized in freezing weather
Portland Cement
- Uses over 1 trillion liters of fresh water a year
- Responsible for 12-15% of the earth’s pollution
- 80-120 year lifespan
- Requires water for mixing and cleanup
- Not waterproof
- Not fireproof
- Not acid resistant
- Low strength, high cost
- Requires rock & sand aggregates
- Cannot be used in freezing weather
