Navrattan Green Crete, an eco-friendly cement with superior air-curing properties, reducing costs and environmental impact in construction projects.
Navrattan Group said it has developed Navrattan Green Crete, an eco-friendly sustainable cement aimed at reducing environmental impact.
“The formulation Navrattan Green Crete exhibits superior air-curing properties, making it a robust choice for various construction projects. This technology allows developers to use 15% less Navrattan Green Crete compared with traditional cement while achieving equal or higher compressive strengths,” the company said in a statement.
The product has air curing properties thus reducing labour and water usage while maintaining strength and durability, it has applications across concrete grades from M30 to M60, meeting a wide range of structural and load-bearing requirements and it requires less water to gain strength, the company added.
Himansh Verma, Founder and Chairman, Navrattan Group said, “We have developed a product that not only tackles the environmental challenges posed by traditional cement but also enhances performance while reducing costs.”
“It is a game-changer for the industry, providing a high-strength, eco-friendly alternative versatile across all concrete grades,” he added.
The company is now gearing up to offer this product to both in domestic and global markets.
