Eco Green Brick
Cement Free Concrete
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION /Â FEATURES
Eco Green Brick (EGB) is one of the Cement Free Concrete (CFC) products. EGB is manufactured using fly ash or palm oil fuel ash (POFA) along with optimum proportions of lime and gypsum. EGB is an alternate to clay bricks and it is proving to be a revolutionary invention that produces bricks without the sintering process and consequently no greenhouse gases are emitted. EGB produces low carbon and environmentally friendly brick It is a cement-free concrete that recycles agricultural and industrial wastes for construction materials. It is one of the CFC products that are beneficial to reduce the effect of the urban heat island.
