in a denser and more robust concrete matrix . This improvement in mechanical properties translates to concrete that is not only stronger but also more resistant to environmental factors such as sulfate attack and an alkali-silica reaction ( ASR ). The use of PozzoDyne™ can also enhance the workability and finish of concrete . Since micronized glass naturally becomes pure white , regardless of the original color of the glass , PozzoDyne™ offers an aesthetically pleasing option for various construction applications .
Economic advantages From an economic perspective , incorporating PozzoDyne TM into concrete mixtures can lead to significant cost savings . The use of waste glass as a raw material is cost-effective and the enhanced durability and performance of PozzoDyne TM -infused concrete can reduce maintenance and repair costs over the lifespan of a structure . Lastly , commonly used SCMs like slag and fly ash , are becoming less available due to their carbon-intensive nature and thus have become more costly , leaving PozzoDyne TM as the perfect SCM solution for concrete companies .
Technological innovation behind PozzoDyne TM
The production of PozzoDyne™ is enabled by advanced milling technology from Microtec Development & Holdings ( MTDH ). This technology grinds any
material into micron or sub-micron particles using shearing , attrition , and impact forces , resulting in a tightly controlled particle distribution . Air classification is employed due to the inefficiency of mechanical screening at such a fine scale . This method allows for precise cuts and high-volume control , enabling custom particle size distributions based on customer requirements for performance , formulation , and manufacturing processes . This precise and customizable control is essential for maximizing the reactivity and performance of
PozzoDyne™ . Traditional mills like hammer , ball , and roller mills require multiple passes to achieve the fineness that Microtec mills achieve in a single pass . Microtec mills can produce seven tons of PozzoDyne™ per hour , significantly outperforming the competition . This efficiency allows AggrePlex to meet the industry ’ s demand for high-quality SCMs at an economically feasible scale .
Applications in the concrete industry
PozzoDyne TM can be used in a wide range of concrete applications , from ready-mix concrete to precast elements . It is particularly beneficial in highperformance concrete mixes where strength , durability , and sustainability are critical . Examples of such applications include infrastructure projects like bridges , roads , and tunnels , as well as commercial and residential buildings .
