1. What are geopolymer cements?
From a terminological point of view, geopolymer cement is a binder that hardens at room temperature, like Portland cement. If a geopolymer compound requires the action of heat, it cannot be called geopolymer cement, but rather geopolymer binder . Geopolymer cement is an innovative material and a genuine alternative to conventional Portland cement for use in civil engineering, construction and offshore applications. It requires minimal processing of certain natural geological materials or industrial by-products, while considerably reducing its carbon footprint. What's more, it is highly resistant...
