Active cure technology The Nano-Clays™ within the NPT matrix, including the MIP, are a combination of ceramics that act cooperatively. The MIP contains pores that are inter-digitally stacked by 180 degrees. This initially allows for cement particle input into these pores. Once in the pores, the particles are now suspended not by the aqueous solution but by the ceramic-polymer matrix of the NanoClays. Thus, the MIP acts as a nucleating agent, while other ceramic molecules attract water toward the now ionicly suspended cement particle to drive the curing process (hydration) forward.
Further, the MIP molecule is shaped like a corkscrew, thus, the more the curing process is driving forward the more the NPT-concrete hybrid composite “tightens down” around the MIP (like tightening the lid of a jar), thus densifying the cement. This tightening process at the molecular level also begins to drive excess water out of the ceramic-concrete composite at the macroscopic level accelerating both the set rate and cure time when exposed to environmental factors (wind, solar).
