Eco-Resin Base

Industrial byproduct

Eco-Resin Base

A gypsum-based plaster serving as the primary binding matrix for waste additives. 98% calcium sulfate dihydrate with 2% silicon dioxide.

Carbon Sequestration

0.118 kg CO2e/kg

Process

1. Source calcium sulfate2. Mix with silicon dioxide3. Prepare binding matrix

Environmental Impact

Embodied Carbon Comparison

Our eco-resin base has dramatically lower embodied carbon compared to conventional architectural materials.

Quality Assurance

Material Testing

Each composition undergoes rigorous testing to ensure durability, safety, and performance in architectural applications.

Flame Resistance

Self-extinguishing

Material does not sustain flame when ignition source removed

Water Porosity

Resistant (with beeswax)

Beeswax coating provides effective moisture barrier

Drill Test

Moderate strength

Adequate structural integrity for decorative applications

Needle Test

Surface hardness verified

Consistent density throughout material thickness
