Virtus Projects specialises in creation & sale of 100% recycled geopolymer block. Geopolymers are synthetic mineral polymers with characteristics suitable for use as fire & heat-resistant coatings and adhesives, high-temperature ceramics, binders for fire-resistant fiber composites, toxic/radioactive waste encapsulation & cements for concrete. We have developed a geopolymer concrete with a much lower carbon footprint than conventional concrete. Ours can be manufactured using waste streams such as recycled sand, fly ash, mining slag or sodium silicate rather than OPC. Our idea is to use recycled sodium silicate, to produce our geopolymer concrete and thus virtually eliminate its carbon burden. We aim to exploit the new technology by licensing to operate plants where recycled sodium silicate is available. Our technology will enable production of construction products that are 100% recycled, are lighter, stronger & more economical than OPC products.

Virtus Projects 专门从事 100% 再生地质聚合物块的生产和销售。地质聚合物是合成矿物聚合物，具有适合用作防火耐热涂料和粘合剂、高温陶瓷、耐火纤维复合材料的粘合剂、有毒/放射性废物封装和混凝土水泥的特性。我们开发了一种地质聚合物混凝土，其碳足迹比传统混凝土低得多。我们的产品可以使用回收沙、粉煤灰、矿渣或硅酸钠等废物流而不是 OPC 来制造。我们的想法是使用回收的硅酸钠来生产地质聚合物混凝土，从而几乎消除其碳负担。我们的目标是通过许可运营可回收硅酸钠的工厂来开发新技术。我们的技术将能够生产 100% 可回收的建筑产品，比 OPC 产品更轻、更强且更经济。
