Rocky Point Custom Homes
Bragg Creek
Rocky Point Custom Homes, a construction company, used Carbon Upcycling’s reduced carbon concrete product as the foundation to build a sustainable home in Bragg Creek, Alberta, Canada. The objective was to use CO2-embedded fly ash to reduce the cement content of the mix. Thanks to their technology, a 5% cement reduction in a 30 MPa winter concrete mix – stronger than the baseline control mix – was achieved, meaning that no performance was compromised to achieve a sustainable product.
The project helped avoid between 600 and 800 kg of CO₂ emissions, translating to a reduction of 15 to 20 kg of CO₂ per cubic meter of concrete, highlighting its contribution to sustainability.
In the concrete corrosion market, the CUT's AlphaCarbon Coating provides an easy-to-apply coating that shows superior adhesion to polymer-based coating solutions. The coating includes a water-based solvent and a proprietary powder formulation of ceramic powders, solid lubricants, and a range of rheology modifiers. The unique blend, when mixed with water, initiates a rapid reaction creating a corrosion resistant barrier against the ingress of acidic elements into the concrete. CUT's plastic additive is a black masterbatch, designed to improve the mechanical and crystallization properties of olefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene. The increased surface area of graphite allows the product to be effectively used to enhance barrier performance, to provide pigment leveling, and to reduce cycle time and warpage, while increasing dimensional stability
