Our Technology
ceUHPC™
ceEntek Pte. Ltd. owns and controls all technologies, critical production and implementation steps for the production and application of ceUHPC™. This starts with carbon nano-material formulated to meet the requirements in UHPC and reaches to the on-site use of ceUHPC™.
ceEntek's optimized CNF for its UHPC reduces the number of ingrediences to just five: cement, sand, water, CNF, plastiziser!
Carbon Nano-Fibers and Concrete
Shortly following the discovery of carbon nano-fibers, their use in concrete was scientifically proven and realized in the laboratory. However, the technology could not be reduced to practice due to cost and implementation constraints. Today, carbon nano-fibers are used in many applications throughout various industries. Single-wall CNF are playing a major role in expanding present limitations in the semiconductor industry. Multi-wall CNFs are used in composites and batteries. However, CNF manufacturers have been slow adapting to specific end-users' needs. This prevented the breakthrough of CNF usage on a broad basis.
Affordable, easy to use UHPC
Ultrahigh Performance Concrete (UHPC) has been known since the early days of concrete, but found few applications only due to difficulties in sourcing the appropriate ingredients and complexities in the mixing process. Typically, UHPC systems require a complex blend of cements, fine aggregates, silica fume and various ad-mixtures. Due to this complexity, UHPC systems are blended in one or two locations globally, adding high logistics costs to the already high prices.
Based on huge infrastructure repair and replacement requirements in the developed world combined with an aggressive infrastructure build up in the developing countries, the demand for environment friendly long lasting solutions is rapidly growing. ceEntek's carbon nanofibers enhanced UHPC (ceUHPC™) meets the requirements for the most demanding applications at a competitive cost level.
