GEOKRETE - LEADING THE GEOPOLYMER REVOLUTION
INTRODUCING GEOKRETE - ADVANCED GEOPOLYMER
Quadex’s GeoKrete is the industry’s most advanced geopolymer repair mortar, offering the rehab industry’s leading corrosion
resistance and physical properties. GeoKrete is a factory blended, fiber reinforced, cementitious like repair mortar synthesized
from pozzolanic materials comprised mostly of recycled fly ash, enhanced with a monocrystalline quartz aggregate. GeoKrete
is specifically designed to provide extraordinary corrosion resistant protection in high hydrogen sulfide environments, restores
structural integrity and stops the infiltration of groundwater. GeoKrete exhibits less than 1.5% mass loss when submerged in
a sulfuric acid bath with a pH of 1.0 over an 8-week ASTM C267 test. It can be applied in one pass up to three inches thick on
horizontal pipes or vertical cylinder surface by low pressure spraying or centrifugal spinning.

THE GEOPOLYMER REVOLUTION
MOVE OVER PORTLAND, CALCIUM ALUMINATES AND ANTIMICROBIAL CONCRETE USED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE REHABILITATION.
Geopolymers are a novel class of cementitious binders with enhanced performance characteristics that have facilitated growing
acceptance in pipe and manhole rehabilitation applications. What is driving this market shift?
> Stronger physical properties and faster set times allow critical infrastructure to be structurally restored and returned to service in
24 hours.
> Better chemical resistance - Some versions exhibit less than 1.5% mass loss when submerged in a sulfuric acid bath with a pH
of 1.0 over an 8-week ASTM C267 test. Geopolymers can be very resistant to many of the corrosive sewer durability issues plaguing
antimicrobial and calcium aluminant concretes.
> Shrinkage compensated - Geopolymers cure via polymerization instead of hydration and thus use less water. Less water in any
cementitious product translates to being less prone to shrinkage that can plague traditional Portland and calcium aluminate concretes.
> Sustainability – Geopolymers can be made with mostly recycled binder materials – typically fly ash. The manufacturing of
geopolymers with recycled byproduct binder therefore significantly reduces harmful greenhouse gases typically created in the
production of Portland or calcium aluminant based products which have some of the most notoriously large carbon footprints in
the world.
