rPozz, LLC processes coal fly ash with proprietary additives to create cementitious materials with superior performance characteristics. Early set times are competitive with 100% Portland cement, while long-term strength and durability is enhanced.
The company's products have been certified for use by the City of Austin, Texas; City of Dallas, Texas; FHWA; Texas Department of Transportation; and have demonstrated an equivalence to high grade GGBFS (exceeds Grade 120 Slag in some cases).
PozzoSlag® can be used as a significant replacement for Portland cement. While the mix design will depend on numerous factors, some current rPozz customers are utilizing PozzoSlag® at 60% or higher replacement. In addition, customers have been able to reduce the total amount of binder material required to hit their strength targets. Simply put, that means higher margins per job.
In-house laboratory tests, third party laboratory tests, customer field tests, and actual customer applications indicate strengths equal to or superior to Portland cement in many applications. The following results are from internal tests using ASTM C109 and ASTM C989 procedures (figures are compressive strengths):
Control Cement | 50% PozzoSlag® / 50% Control Cement | |
1 day | 2,742 psi | 2,417 psi |
3 day | 4,092 psi | 4,467 psi |
7 day | 5,195 psi | 5,367 psi |
14 day | 5,272 psi | 6,715 psi |
28 day | 5,827 psi | 6,975 psi |
56 Day | 6,567 psi | 9,217 psi |
Note: tests used local cement and results will vary.
