Titanate, Zirconate & Aluminate Coupling Agents & Catalysts for Advancement In Ordinary Portland Cement Compositions
Kenrich Petrochemicals, Inc.’s (“Kenrich”) Ken-React® series of titanate, zirconate and aluminate organometallics provide advancement-in-the-state-of-the-art opportunities for ordinary Portland cement compositions. See link to White Paper: https://4kenrich.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/A-New-1.5-Nanometer-Titanium-Treated-Portland-Cement-4-pg-White-Paper-by-Salvatore-J.-Monte.pdf
Two U.S. patents protect nano-Titanium surface modification of Ordinary Portland Cement which significantly increases strength and provides other benefits, as the amount of water needed for flow (slump) is reduced by one-third. Once the metal oxides that make-up the Portland cement are organo-titanium functionalized the result is: Greater compression strength; efflorescence elimination; faster mix cycles; polymer compatibilization with epoxy, hydrocarbons such as oil, asphalt, and plastics; prevention of rebar corrosion; more uniform cell structure in cement foam; more flexible structures for improved earthquake resistance; and the creation of ageless and beautiful concrete structures. Enhanced applications include 3-D printing and compatibilization of cement with organic materials such as polyethylene fabric, carbon, graphene, bio-based organic materials, inorganics, and polymers.
The proprietary titanate coupling agent, trade named Ken-React® KCM-3E, additionally finds application for the compatibilization of otherwise incompatible materials. Inventor Salvatore J. Monte explains: “The nano-interface of dissimilar materials provide almost unlimited avenues for more efficient use of raw materials – sustainability and innovation.”
