Nu-Rock’s game changing cementitious process involves the manufacture of products without any Portland cement. This is a win for the environment and building, construction and mining industries.

University studies and laboratory tests verify that Nu-Rock’s patented process reacts and chemically encapsulates the minerals and heavy metals contained within industrial byproducts such as all Coal Ash, all Steel Mill, all Non-Ferrous metal, Alumina red mud, Hard Rock Mine Tailings byproducts and other mainstream byproduct materials. This natural exothermic reaction immediately converts byproduct material into an impenetrable form known as ‘Formulated Rock’.

Faster and heat free curing

The Nu-Rock process speeds up the natural mineralisation process, from millions of years to a matter of hours. During the curing process, all heavy metals and radiation are chemically fused cold into a permanent form. No heat is required for this process.  The resulting product does not leach or deteriorate like Portland Cement concrete alternatives.

Capturing CO2

During the short curing process Nu-Rock products actively absorb and mineralise large quantities of Carbon Dioxide “CO2” from the atmosphere. Additionally, fully automated Nu-Rock plants will ultimately include injecting of CO2 into products at the heart of the manufacturing process.

Game changing strength and durability

Nu-Rock’s first range of building products: Blocks, Bricks and Pavers, are so much stronger and more durable than traditional masonry products that performance comparisons are completely one sided.

As durability and strength are key requirements of any building material, Nu-Rock’s unrivalled superiority is hugely significant and a game changing option for architects, engineers and builders to use.

Emissions free manufacturing

Nu-Rock’s “Formulated Rock” technology uses an emissions-free manufacturing process. It represents a significant improvement on centuries-old, energy-intensive methods that require the quarrying, transport, and kiln firing of limestone at temperatures of up to 1500°C. These traditional processes also rely on the extraction and movement of finite natural resources such as sand and aggregates.
In contrast to Nu-Rock, clay-based product manufacturing is also highly energy-intensive, typically involving a seven-day warming and drying cycle at 500°C, followed by a three-day firing process at 1050°C.
