Welcome to MaterialTech Innovations

Sustainability

DGC emits 50% less CO₂, uses low cost minerals and industrial wastes, uses 50% less energy to produce, and is more durable compared to Portland cement.

Performance Tailorability

DGC can be tailored to show a wide range of 1-day strength (2-4 ksi), 28-day strength (5-10 ksi), set time (15-300 mins), and various workability.

Innovations

Whether it's challenging performance or function requirements, we are dedicated to finding the cost effective solution for your project's needs.

About Us

Concrete is used extensively throughout the civil infrastructure, but is accompanied by significant life cycle costs. These include costs for its required frequent maintenance and repair as well as societal costs due to environmental damage caused by the manufacture of Portland cement.

Detroit Green Cement (DGC), hybrid magnesium green cement, it is a much more sustainable alternative to Portland cement. DGC emits 50% less CO₂, uses low cost minerals and industrial wastes, uses 50% less energy to produce, and is more durable compared to Portland cement. DGC also becomes carbon negative over time as it absorbs CO₂ which also improves strength. DGC has the largest crack resistance hence much durable than competing green cements. It is manufactured using existing manufacturing processes and equipment. DGC can be mixed, cast, and cured with common concrete equipment and practice.cement.

DGC was developed by an innovative processing route including unique cement chemistry, based on recent sol-gel studies by the inventor. Our team theoretically optimized the mix compositions according to the guidelines derived from the sol-gel chemistry, which also permits the effective utilization of many industrial and mining wastes. Our approach is unique and follows the paradigm examples of organic polymers. As a result, very high strength and excellent ductility have been achieved. We have shown that synergistically combining oxides of calcium, silicon, aluminum, and magnesium could produce superior strength and 3 to 4 times higher ductility than the existing Portland cement, magnesium cement, and geopolymer cement.

We have state-of-the-art technology and the leading experts in the emerging green cement area. We are ready to serve your needs.
