Suplementary CementitiouS material
There are many benefits to the use of fly ash in concrete.Some of these are:
Benefits:
• Decrease of potential moisture transmission roofs and other structural elements.
• Significant reduction in concrete permeability • Chemical resistance to detrimental salts
• Better protection to embedded steel reinforcement
• Dramatical increase in the durability of concrete
• Long term compressive strength are higher with fly ash concrete
• Contributes to a more sustainable development
¿What is Fly Ash?
Much Long before cement was invented, it was observed that volcanic ash, when combined with lime, produced a very durable material. This material was used
to construct the Roman aqueducts and other structures of Roman origin that are still standing after more than 2,000 years. Our ancestors learned long ago what we recently have recreated, that is, a durable construction material of high performance.
Fly ash is one of the products resulting from burning mineral coal during generation of electricity. It consists of tiny spherical particles which chemically interact with hydrated lime from cement to produce cementitious compounds in what is known as a pozzolanic reaction.

Product Descrition:
SPRAYABLE PLASTER / RENDER MORTAR MIX is a single component Portland cement based plaster containing additives for a superior bonding strength. Depending upon application, Render Mortar Mix may be sprayed or hand-troweled. The product contains Class F Fly Ash with pozzolanic action making it less permeable and easy to place and finish. Packaged in 50 lb bags, it is simple to use, requiring only addition of water at the jobsite. SPRAYABLE PLASTERING / RENDER MORTAR MIX provides the following textures and application techniques:
• Smooth finish • Rough coarse finish • Irregular textures • Decorative patterns • Stone texture
Advantages:
With our distinctive formulation, strict manufacturing processes and quality assurance tests, our SPRAYABLE PLASTER / RENDER MIX has the following advantages over more conventional plasters:
• A better bond to the substrate • Better workability with a creamy consistency • Can be multi-textured creating a unique and pleasing character • Environmentally friendly containing recycled material
IndustrIalIzed MortarsThe demands of modern day construction are not limited to quality and cost, since time can be a key issue and is considered by some to be one of the most important aspects of a project. During the construction process of a project there are several related stages that follow a strict and unalterable sequence that directly affects the amountof time required by a project, and as a consequence has a direct effect on the contractor’s costs. The process of plastering or as it is technically known mortar coating, of indoor and outdoor walls and ceilings, is one of the phases or stages previously mentioned.
There are two methods for preparing and applying the plaster mixture, the conventional method and the industrialized method. The industrialized method is relatively new in Occident, but it has been the principal method used in Europe by most contractors for several decades. This method accelerates the time it takes to prepare and apply the plaster mixtures making it 3 to 5 times faster than the conventional method, with a savings of up to 50% per square yard of applied plaster.
Sprayable plaSter / renDer mortar mix
The use of Class F fly ash in the product lowers the heat of hydration in the mix, therefore the possibility of cracks is greatly reduced.

Advantages of the Industrialized Mortar System:
• Mixing Sprayable Plasters / Renders, Masonry, Self-leveling, Brick-laying and Thick bed mortars. • A significant increase in productivity • Quality is assured. • Mix is virtually ready in an instant • Reduction in waste and loss of material • No need to stock individual materials • Better material inventory control • Environmentally Friendly Material Conveying System: - No dust emissions - No scattering of waste to the environment by surface water runoffs

Project Equipment
These savings pertain only to the preparation and application of the mixtures, and do not include the additional potential savings of project time that could double these savings. The key to this method and to the savings for the contractor stems from the fact that it is an industrialized system, which means that you work with a superior quality plaster mix, an unequaled surface finish, a virtually instantaneous preparation ofthe mix, a continuous flow of mix, and an application by means of a plastering equipment that quickly covers surfaces. In this manner, construction workers and their assistants can complete 3 to 5 times more square areas of plastering a day, reducing the days needed for this work and resulting in savings for the project, and therefore, for the contractor.The industrialized mortar products of Ecológica Carmelo provide a solution with alternatives that include plastering mix, structural mortar mix, floor topping mix, self-leveling mix, general purpose mortar, polymer modified thin-set mortars and concrete resurfacing compounds. All of these alternatives offer economic advantages to the contractor and a cleaner environment for the project, and they diminish the completion time of the project.

“Entering a parking lot should be the beginning of a pleasant experience when you arrive at a site and/or building. Parking lots should be ‘parking gardens’ with trees, other vegetation, color, texture and variety. Besides creating a sustainable drainage system that supports plants, permeable interlocking concrete pavement improves the character of parking area, thereby supporting the parking garden idea.- Jay Womack, ASLA, LEED® AP - Director of Sustainable Design with Wight & Company-Darien, Illinois
Permeable interlocking concrete pavements are a logical choice for effective stormwater management. High quality interlocking concrete pavers provide a hard and durable surface not subject to surface abrasion and raveling while effectively transferring surface water to the underlying open graded aggregate which provides storage and filtering capabilities”- David Hein, P.Eng.

Detectable Warning Pavers
In response to the American Disabilities Act, Ecológica Carmelo provides a paver which would aid the visually impaired pedestrian. These pavers have a raised truncated surface readily detectable under foot, as well as by cane. Person with visual impairments depend upon environmental cues of potential hazards - ambient sounds and physical elements that can be sensed by a cane or texture changes underfoot. Any pedestrian requiring the use of a warning surface can utilize our detectable warning pavers. The distinctively textured walking surface can help warn pedestrians of an imoending hazard on the route ahead.
Applications:
- Sidewalks- Pedestrian access areas- Platform edges

Description:
The Solar Cap-lighting system consists of modular selfcontained lighting devices that can be used for decorative or traffic-flow purposes, powered only by solar energy. These unique devices incorporates the newest “Energy Cache” technology for energy storage, instead of the highmaintenance rechargeable batteries that are currently used in other solar devices. Unlike batteries, which must be changed every two or three years and cannot tolerate enviromental extremes, Energy Cache enables SolarCaplighting to be used in any enviroment without maintenance for more than 10 years with a wide operating temperature range of -13º F to 140º F (-25º C - 30º C).

Old San Juan Blues™Old San Juan Blues™ are concrete paving units that emulate all of the characteristics of an original 17-18th century colonial cobblestone, while providing high traffic and load characteristics. Old San Juan Blues™ are engineered in such a way that the units will not move and turn as real cobblestone does, providing greater durability while preserving aesthetic value. Several different imprints are manufactured to generate the randomness that brings in the sensing experience of colonial times. This paver contains a high volume of class-F Fly Ash, which result in meeting and exceeding ASTM parameters. The use of this suplementary cementitious material in the paver mixture densifies and permeabilizes the unit, making it resistant to acid, salt and organic compound attacks. It also enhances its compressive strength and durability.
