About Ceramext®
Ceramext® technology can transform even low-cost waste materials into advanced ceramic compositions. Ceramext LLC has developed hot-forging methods and advanced ceramic compositions for which some patents are granted and more are pending. Some new ceramic compositions are derived from waste materials including mine tailings and coal fly ash. This technology can produce high quality ceramic products suitable for marketing at competitive prices. Waste materials can be recycled using this technology to produce high quality floor, wall and roof tiles, building cladding, bricks, pavers, and other ceramic products suitable for marketing at competitive prices.
Ceramic products made with this technology can contain up to 100% recycled content (for example, with no binders added) and provide an opportunity for highly sustainable manufacturing in the ceramics industry. Every year, in the U.S. alone, hundreds of millions of tons of usable waste are disposed of in landfills. The U.S. consumes about 3 billion square feet of tile per year, of which about 80 % is imported. Several thousand square feet of high quality ceramic tile have been produced successfully in pilot plants using Ceramext® technology and installed in commercial and residential buildings with superior results.
