MgO Extracts CO2
from the Atmosphere Air Krete is made with air, water and Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Cement. The MgO is a mineral which is used in our daily vitamin mineral supplements. When MgO is calcined, it produces high temperature fireproof refractory cement when used in the Air Krete process. Recent studies have proven that (MgO) absorbs Co2 (carbon dioxide). The MgO activates a counter action to the global warming effect by scrubbing Co2 from the atmosphere, making Air Krete an even more environmentally friendly product.
Development of Carbon Negative Construction Products Using Novel MgO Based Binders
....The production of Magnesium Oxide on the other hand converts easily from Magnesium Carbonate at around 650°C, thus halving the energy consumption. Whilst the ‘roasting’ process of manufacturing ‘eco-cements’ produces more CO2, during setting and hardening a process called carbonation reabsorbs the majority of this from the air. In construction terms, a tonne of eco-concrete can end up absorbing up to 0.4 tonnes of CO2.Read more...

MgO is used as an Insulator
...MgO is used as an insulator in industrial cables, as a basic refractory material for crucibles and as a principal fireproofing ingredient in construction materials. As a construction material, magnesium oxide wallboards have several attractive characteristics: fire resistance, moisture resistance, mold and mildew resistance, and strength. Read More...
