Brief description of the technology solution and the added value it provides
Yesograf is an addition that improves the mechanical resistance of gypsum and plaster composites, presented as a fine powder (up to 250%), increasing termal conductivity (up to 115%) and protects buildings from electromagnetic wave sources, at zero cost. Yesograf implies the revaluation of materials and contributes to a better durabilioty of the compound in contact with water.
Description of the technological base
Yesograf is a material which adds an inert industrial waste as a fine powder and, when it is added to gypsum and plasters, mechanical resistence is improved and thermal conductivity, acoustic insulation and electromagnetic insulation are increased. Currently, it has zero cost as an additive, and it improves in a significant way gypsum based materials that commercially have low resistance.
In addition, based on these mixtures and adding sands, this solution enables to prepare mortars. These mixtures can be used in construction on site or in prefabricated materials such as gypsum boards or sandwich panels, among others.
“Addition, at zero cost, as a fine powder that improves mechanical properties and increases thermal conductivity of materials which are used for radiant solutions”
