Jesmonite

We utilise an eco-friendly medium, Jesmonite, to aggregate wastes such as plastic wastes and used coffee grounds.

What is Jesmonite?

It is an eco-friendly alternative to concrete and it is made of gypsum (a natural mineral), acrylic and water.

Properties:

  • Eco-FriendlyNo solvents involved or VOCs emitted
  • DurableHighly resilient against abrasion and impact
  • LightweightLighter than cement, stone, glass and concrete
  • Fire-ResistantIndependently rated with European Fire Classification EN 13501-1 

It minimises air, land and water pollution in the production and manufacturing processes as it is...

  • VOC-free, which are gases that form ground-level O3 and affect human health.
  • Water-based, hence less likely to contaminate both land and water than solvent-based materials
  • Air-dried and does not require energy-intensive processes such as firing in pottery.
