Alternative binders are essentially mineral-based substances that share similarities with cement but produce considerably less carbon dioxide. These binders chemically react to serve as the adhesive in concrete, holding together various aggregates.We currently utilize by-products from other industries as alternative binders, which would otherwise require disposal or other forms of management. Some alternative binders are derived from natural sources.Our primary choices for alternative binders are:Slag: Specifically, blast furnace slag from the steel and iron sector. This by-product is ground into a fine powder and can substitute a significant portion of cement in concrete.Fly ash: Sourced from the combustion of coal, this by-product is collected after flue gases are cleaned at certain coal-fired power stations with non-toxic burning processes.The alternative binders we employ are free from any toxic or hazardous elements and comply with rigorous chemical regulations. We, along with our suppliers, conduct thorough testing on all alternative binders to ensure they meet the stringent criteria set by standards and legislation.
