Solving Industry Needs

Pozzsource’s  products solve an increasingly severe challenge to the concrete industry.  At the core of Pozzsource is an age-old pozzolan mineral.  Ancient Roman structures built with similar materials still stand today.
Pozzsource’s natural pozzolan products, produced from naturally occurring volcanic ash, replace Portland cement in concrete. Because Portland cement manufacturing is a significant source of greenhouse gases, natural pozzolans provide a greener alternative, at a lower cost, to pure cement mixes.

The primary pozzolan used in concrete in recent years has been fly ash, a residual from coal-burning power plants.  Production has diminished as coal plants close or convert to natural gas.  The Western U.S. is facing supply shortages of fly ash, creating big problems for concrete suppliers, including contract delivery issues, cost, capacity limits, quality, and performance.  Significant additional closures and conversions are scheduled, creating a bigger deficit in an already constrained market.
Before the use of fly ash as a concrete additive, natural pozzolans were successfully used as a raw ingredient in concrete to improve its performance and durability.  Now that the availability of fly ash has become limited and the costs have increased, a replacement is needed.  Pozzsource is bringing superior natural pozzolans to the market that have a proven track record of meeting these needs.

Pozzource is developing products for the coatings industry from natural volcanic mineral sources. The materials can replace Titanium Dioxide and improve optical properties, abrasion resistance and wet propeties to add value for coatings manufacturers.
Pozzsource has conducted research and lab testing to demonstrate product effectiveness and is working with coatings manufacturers for adoption.
