Hipertex Armor Group, LLC proposes the development and validation of a fiber reinforced Cementitious product capable of being cast in the field while meeting the customer strength requirements without the need of steam curing. Specifically, Hipertex will utilize a new carbon macro-fiber technology developed for blast resistance combined with a family of mortar and concrete products based on tri-mix designs that can meet the compressive strength requirements of 25 ksi. Tri-mix cements are based on blends of portland cement, coal ash, and ground granulated blast furnace slag. Unique to the tri-mix formulation is the ability to increase the reactivity of the coal ash through in-furnace modification. The Phase I effort will validate the strength requirements put forth by the customer, while the Phase II effort will demonstrate the scalability of the product for in field casting, pumping and placement for cast-in place, tilt-up, and precast applications.
