ASHCRETE (Fly Ash)

Fly ash is a fine, glass powder recovered from the gases of burning coal during the production of electricity. These micron-sized earth elements consist primarily of silica, alumina and iron. When mixed with lime and water the fly ash forms a cementitious compound with properties very similar to that of Portland cement. Because of this similarity, fly ash can be used to replace a portion of cement in the concrete, providing some distinct quality advantages. The concrete is denser resulting in a tighter, smoother surface with less bleeding.
Fly ash concrete offers a distinct architectural benefit with improved textural consistency and sharper detail. Fly Ash is also known as Coal Ash, Pulverized Flue Ash, Pozzolona.
