When evaluating the benefits of working with a new ground glass pozzolan supplier like
R-E-D Industrial Products, there are several things to keep in mind. Over the last few decades, we have helped countless customers address their needs for sustainable supplementary cementitious materials that deliver exceptional performance and compatibility with a wide range of applications. As a ground glass pozzolan supplier delivering products throughout North America and beyond, we urge you to continue reading to learn more about how our Re-Act 4™ pozzolan, unmatched customer service, and competitive prices help to meet your global sustainability and performance initiatives.
Benefits of R-E-D as Your Ground Glass Pozzolan Supplier
Many of our customers, both past and present, have found that our attentive customer service, competitive prices, and reliable delivery times are reason enough to work with R-E-D as their dedicated supplier of ground glass pozzolan (GGP) and other supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). However, there are larger considerations detailed below that further separate our products and services from the competition.
Benefit #1 → Consistent Quality
To maintain consistent quality throughout each batch of ground glass pozzolan, R-E-D uses a highly controlled process that generates a superior cementitious material with a reduced carbon footprint compared to alternative options like fly ash. R-E-D Re-Act 4™ is a fine, amorphous, white glass powder composed of 100% post-consumer recycled glass that presents tremendous pozzolanic properties without increasing water demand. The patented process behind glass sorting, cleaning, and manufacturing ensures each batch of glass pozzolan maintains its desirable properties and composition with minimal variation that could impact final performance.
R-E-D Re-Act 4™ adheres to ASTM C1866/CSA A3000-21 and vastly outperforms these standards, which dictate the requirements for acceptable physical and chemical characteristics of ground glass pozzolan, ensuring consistent quality and reliable results during use.
Benefit #2 → Sustainable SCM Replacement
Not only does ground glass pozzolan adhere to sustainable manufacturing practices, but it can also provide considerable long-term sustainability benefits and meet environmental regulations or project goals. Using only traditional Portland cement can result in considerable CO2 emissions that make it an undesirable or even completely unusable product for certain projects with environmental or sustainability goals. As a 100% post-consumer recycled product, glass pozzolan cuts back on the processing emissions associated with other SCMs like fly ash and slag while reducing the amount of glass heading to landfills or being transported to inefficient recycling centers across North America.
Sustainability goals not only apply to the initial construction phase and depend on enhancing the long-term performance of concrete in challenging environments. GGP offers high resistance to sulfate and natural corrosive agents, added compressive strength for durability that benefits in high-impact applications, and considerably reduced permeability and resistance to chloride ions, which make it a perfect SCM for structures exposed to salt spray, salt water, and de-icing salts.
Benefit #3 → Real World Experience - Extending Parking Garage Structures with GGP
When used in predictive life cycle analysis software programs (like Life365), the use of our
Re-Act 4™ pozzolan has proven incredibly beneficial to parking garage structures in the Northeast. At only 20% replacement levels (of Portland cement), ground glass pozzolan can improve corrosion resistance and extend the years of service life by 4.5 to 5 times, respectively, over a standard Portland cement-based concrete alone. It is a no-brainer for infrastructure projects, experiencing consistently rising costs, to aim for extending life by 5 times. This solution is not only high performance but also sustainable, as the repairs and maintenance will be significantly less as well, and the replacement time of any structure like this would be much longer!
