Progressive Planet Solutions Inc has announced what it called “positive” 91-day Resistance to Chloride Ion Penetration (RCP) test results for the company’s PozGlass SCM product.
The company said the results, which were identical to those received during the 28-day accelerated-cure test, confirm that the market potential for the proprietary formulation and process in the blending of natural pozzolans and recovered post-consumer glass could be larger than originally expected.
“We believe PozGlass SCM will radically reduce the carbon footprint of cement through every step of the process,” Progressive Planet Solutions CEO Steve Harpur said in a statement.

“Lower permeability means longer-lasting concrete and less cement powder used in the future, which is key to reducing CO 2 emissions,” Harpur added.
As well, Progressive Planet noted it will be releasing the six-month sulfate resistance test that began in April of this year on or before October 18, 2021.
It added the test is the last remaining concrete durability test underway with C&CS Atlantic and represents another potential market size boost for PozGlass SCM.
The company said PozGlass SCM production does not require high-temperature roasting nor does it generate huge amounts of off-gassed carbon dioxide, unlike the production of Portland cement and fly ash.
Progressive Planet is an emerging leader in supplying solutions for a livable planet by developing low carbon, pozzolan-based, cementing products that replace equivalent amounts of Portland Cement and fly ash in concrete. The production of Portland Cement is the second-largest global generator of CO2 emissions.
The company operates its flagship Z1 Natural Pozzolan Quarry in Cache Creek, British Columbia (BC) and is earning a 100% interest in the Z2 Natural Pozzolan Property near Falkland, BC and earning a 100% interest in the Heffley Creek Metals and Natural Pozzolan Property. All three properties are within a one-hour drive of Kamloops, BC, an industrial hub with rail access to Canadian and US markets.
