Product Advantages
Benefits
POZZOCRETE™ is a product whose time has come in India. POZZOCRETE™ will give an already knowledgeable construction industry the means to produce better, stronger and more durable concrete.
POZZOCRETE™ can be used in almost all types of concrete from mortar and plaster to high strength, high resistance concrete.
POZZOCRETE™ is a product of the combustion of pulverised coal in thermal power stations. Because of the unique nature of its creation it has unique properties to offer when used in concrete.
Each particle of POZZOCRETE™ is a glassy sphere of minute size (less than 50µ) of almost pure silica. Because of this it can benefit both fresh and hardened concrete.
The main benefits in concrete are:
1) Improved Workability
2) Improved Durability
3) Reduced Heat of Hydration
4) Setting time
Why Choose Pozzocrete?
Particle Anatomy
Pozzocrete guarantees you well designed particle size so that higher replacement levels can be achieved. In an unprocessed ash, you get what the power station produces without any control on the processing system.
Pozzocrete Particles are solid, glassy and perfectly spherical due to a complete fusion in boiler temperature above 1300 degrees Celsius. In an unprocessed ash, the sphericity and glassy properties of ash particles are badly affected due to the incomplete fusion resulting from the fluctuating boiler conditions.
The Unburnt Carbon
delivering much superior concrete – Pozzocrete Concrete, compared to that produced with unprocessed fly ash.
Coal Mill and Boiler Conditions
Quality of the unprocessed fly ash fluctuates with the changes in the coal mill and boiler conditions. The behaviour of the concrete is adversely affected by these unstable properties. On the other hand, Pozzocrete undergoes strict quality control and provides PFA with consistent and predictable properties.
Low Standard Deviation
The Indian processing plant of Pozzocrete is located at Nashik, Maharashtra. It has been subjected to rigorous quality control system since its inception – for last 7 years. This positively reflects in the low standard
deviation over the entire 7 year period for various physical and chemical parameters. These parameters are tested at the predetermined frequency of testing in the state of the art Dirk Laboratory situated in the plant.
It Sounds Great but How Do We Ensure it?
Dirk India has installed state of the art fly ash processing plant at Nashik. This plant mainly consists of Mechanical Air Classification System that influences particle size distribution enabling us to produce various product streams.
Dirk Pozzocrete is the first and only fly ash product in India which has been certified by the prestigious ISI Standard Kite Mark. This means, not only the end product, but also the entire process of manufacturing of
Pozzocrete is thoroughly scrutinised by the Bureau of Indian Standards – not once but continuously, randomly!
Dirk Pozzocrete has been also awarded the prestigious international quality certification – the DCL Mark by Dubai Municipality.
The Pozzocrete processing plant located at Nashik is the only fly ash processing plant in India which has been certified by ISO 9000:2000.
But What about the Men – The Dream Team!
Dirk India has a team of dedicated professionals which comprises a wonderful mixture of Indian zeal and European experience. This is an ideal case of technology transfer where not only the technology but also the knowledge was transferred. The Indian Staff has been groomed by European experts over last 7 years.
Dirk India offers various technical services to its clientele all over the world. This service includes –
- Concrete Mix Design
- Fly Ash Handling in Batching Plants
- Corporate Training in Concrete Technology and Concrete
Optimisation Techniques
Dirk India is a member of major European fly ash bodies like “The UK
Quality Ash Association” and can draw technical expertise from these
bodies whenever required.
So what does all This Mean?
The superior quality of Pozzocrete means your cement replacement levels
are much higher than an unprocessed fly ash. This means lower cost per
cubic meter of concrete!
The consistent quality of Pozzocrete means you can design your concrete
for much lower standard deviation than that of an unprocessed fly ash.
This means further economy for your concrete.
The technical assistance from Dirk India is always available at your
disposal – just a phone call or an email away! And 24 hrs a day!
Finally, may we sum it up in a small phrase?
“When You choose Pozzocrete, You choose Sound Sleep At Night!”
