Technical web pages are listed below which are suited to more advanced readers.
We are constantly updating these pages time permitting as there is so much to communicate.
| Page: | Detail |
| Magnesium Hydroxide Nano Composites | This page discusses the amazing ability of magnesium hydroxide to form complex layered double hydroxide (LDH) compounds with many other substances. This property is important because it is why magnesium hydroxide is so useful to lock up wastes and is related to how it can bonds so easily with other substances |
| Other Magnesium Minerals in Concretes | Magnesium occurs in many different forms in cements. The only one that is dangerous is Periclase which is a high temperature mineral formed if magnesium is present during the clinkering process. This page describes some of these other forms. |
| Porecocrete Porous Concrete | This page discusses in depth the water cycle, salinity, pollution and water shortages and the Porecocrete solution. |
| Reactive Magnesia | TecEco prefer to use reactive magnesia which is essentially amorphous magnesia with low lattice energy made at low temperatures and finely ground. |
| Rheological and Electrostatic Properties of TecEco Cement Concretes | TecEco cements containing reactive magnesia[1] have a thixotrophic rheology with low sag and high stick. They do not bleed much and have low shrinkage. There are physical and chemical reasons for these characteristics that are explained on this page. |
| TecEco Cements | We are striving all the time to explain TecEco cements to others. This page is a more comprehensive attempt to communicate the salient features to people like engineers.. |
| The Importance of Particle Packing | Particle packing is taught as part of basic materials processing courses at engineering schools but is poorly understood in the concrete industry. An understanding of the basics is important when making concrete and TecEco are working on software that will incorporate the science of particle packing as the lack of understanding is proving a problem for the implementation of our cements. |
