BINDR™ — The Chemistry That Replaces Cement
Agrocrete® – Where Strength meets Sustainability.
An alkali-activated binder that matches OPC 53 strength at 80% lower carbon — without a kiln, without prolonged water curing, and without changing how your site works.
BINDR™ · THE FULL STORY
The Science Behind Every Product We Make.
BINDR™ is a proprietary alkali-activated binder — the platform chemistry behind Agrocrete®, Novastone™, and every product in our range. Here's how it works.
Raw Materials
Manufacturing process
Chemistry
Step 1
Metallurgical Slags
Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and other industrial mineral residues — the primary reactive precursor in BINDR™. Sourced from steel manufacturing byproduct streams.
Step 2
Alkaline Activators
Proprietary alkaline compounds that trigger the activation reaction — replacing the role that water plays in OPC hydration. This is the core of BINDR™'s chemistry.
Step 3
Industrial Mineral By-Product
Fly ash,ite-specific mineral fillers, and processed residues — comprising over 90% of BINDR™'s composition by weight. Waste streams repurposed as structural inputs.
