Nanogence showcases an innovative technology that leverages distinctive chemical processes to generate crystals with improved binding properties in construction materials.

With the capacity to lessen the demand for cement, reduce the amount of air pollution, and improve durability, the innovation that Nanogence has developed presents a viable answer for environmentally responsible building practices.

Efficiency of Nanolevel Crystals

Following water, cement is the most extensively utilized substance on the planet. Mixing it with water forms concrete, which serves as the foundation for structures such as roads, bridges, dams, and buildings.  However, the cement industry is responsible for approximately 8% of the earth's warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions, which is far higher than the global carbon emissions caused by aviation. 

Based on a visual that the firm provided, Nanogence asserts that its innovation has the potential to lower emissions by between 20% and 40% of the industry if it is extensively implemented in the sector. This is equivalent to recovering 50% of the Amazon rainforest. Thus, in an optimistic prediction by Nanogence, this would result in an annual reduction of over one billion kilograms of air pollution. The technology behind Nanogence uses one-of-a-kind chemistry to produce large quantities of the crystals required to bind aggregates, typically crushed stones for concrete. 

The material improves the binding efficiency of cement and other substances to eliminate or reduce demand for cement. Also, it is possible to readily include the crystals in the cement production process already in place, making implementing this solution cost-effective. 

Nanogence's product could reportedly lessen the gypsum required to produce drywall, a widely used building material which can also clean up an astounding number of work orders, such as concrete, cement, highways, and even drywall. Further benefits include decreased expenses, less energy use, and enhanced stability and longevity. 

On the other hand, after the undisclosed cash infusion that a group of investors provided in October, the company is currently experiencing growth. At the same time that it is attempting to raise funds for expansion, Nanogence is already in action, assisting with the construction of Noida International Airport in India. A video clip on the company's website reveals that it is already working with 100 customers located on five different continents.

Nanogence's Key to Achieving High-Performance Products

Regarding cementitious and inorganic binder systems, Nanogence's products are exclusive smart catalysts that improve the efficiency of the binding process. While the hydration process occurs, it successfully stimulates the appropriate chemical species to come together to selectively produce an increased quantity of higher-density connecting crystals. These crystals are responsible for linking all of the aggregates together, which ultimately results in the accumulation of strength and durability. Obtaining an extremely high level of performance in terms of strength requires the production of the appropriate crystals in the proper quantities.

Furthermore, an individualized catalyst formulation is required since the chemical system differs depending on the cement, concrete, or other inorganic binder type. The company possesses a collection of more than fifty formulations to accommodate virtually every chemical system that is commercially available globally.
