Sustainable Concrete
and Composites

rGF Shred for Sustainable Concrete and Composites ​

CompFiber+ is a blended chopped strand, resin coated fiber reinforcement specifically designed for use in a variety of polymer applications and processes. The multi-functional resin sizing on the fibers enhances their handling, mixing, and molding characteristics, leading to improved processability and performance.

Applications

  • Precast Products​

  • Additive Manufacturing 3D Printing​

  • Shotcrete​

  • Infrastructure​

  • Overlays​

  • Commercial and Residential floors​

  • Block and Brick

Advantages

• Fully recycled fibers​

• Uniform distribution and mixing​

• Excellent finishing and workability​

• Increased flexural strength and durability​

• Excellent shrink and crack reduction and control​

• Favorable dimensional stability​

• Reduces construction times and material costs

Pristine Graphene for Concrete Performance

Carbon Rivers Nano manufactures pristine graphene nanoflakes (1-3 layers, inert, low cost, commercial scale), and the nanoflakes provide excellent mechanical and functional enhancements to concrete projects, whether for sustainable housing or significant construction designs.

PG Formulation Can Include:

​

  • Recycled glass fiber for increased mechanicals, functionality, and lower sand aggregate need and thus lower emissions.​

​​

  • PG for increased mechanicals (compression, flexural, and shear), functionality (rapid cure, impermeability, cold cure, anti-corrosion, anti-abrasion, and capping/ encapsulating orphan wells).

  • Pristine graphene nanoflakes are hydrophobic, so this mitigates the freeze-thaw cycle on bridges and runways as well as reduces natural resource water in the mix design.​

​​

  • Reduction of cement by as much as 30% for more sustainable mix designs. ​

​​

  • Increase of at least 50% in compression, 80% in flexural, and 30% in shear in wellbore cement paste to cap orphan wells.​

​​

  • Has electrically conductive properties for specialized concrete builds and features​

​​

  • UV-resistant due to graphene absorbing UV radiation.​

​​

  • Cure cycle is accelerated with early onset strength ​

​​

  • Very large surface area uniformly dissipates thermal energy and thus mitigates against micro-cracks, stress, and friction to reduce internal deformation and material failure due to anti-corrosion and impermeability functionality. ​

​​

  • PG even fills in pore walls to reduce crack propagation. ​

​​

  • Lighter and reduced material for less emissions and to lower material costs.​

​​

  • Increased structural and mechanical integrity against inclement weather and natural disasters.​

​​

  • Incorporation of carbon negative composite recycled material significantly reduces cement and sand aggregate material costs and production emissions.
