GIM Concrete
Sector: Construction
Cement-free concrete.
Cement-free. Water-free. Cured in 24 hours. Up to 3× the strength.
The most used manufactured material on earth, made a different way.
The problem
Cement has a problem.
Traditional concrete is heavy, slow, and increasingly regulated.
Carbon
Cement is a major source of global CO₂
Carbon pricing and regulation are tightening.
Weight
Transport is a large share of delivered cost
Heavy products limit delivery radius and margins.
Time
A long cure to reach required strength
Long cycle times tie up working capital and capacity.
GIM Concrete
What if you took the cement out?
A polymer-aggregate composite with graphene dispersed evenly through it. Cured by chemistry.
Water-free
Made water-free. Valuable in water-scarce markets.
Cement-free
Cement-free formulation cuts embodied CO₂ at source.
Up to 3× stronger
Over 100 MPa compressive strength, independently tested.
Up to 64% lighter
Depending on formulation, higher strength allows thinner, lighter units.
Tougher
Greater ductility. Better impact resistance.
24-hour cure
Demould in 24 hours at room temperature.
Made from waste
Recycled polymers, biochar and other waste streams.
Weight
Redefining what a paver can weigh.
Traditional
GIM
64% lighter
The same example paver, at the same performance.
Reduced thickness enabled by higher strength. Achievable weight depends on formulation.
- Fewer trucks per job.
- Lighter handling. Faster installs, smaller crews.
Finishes
Any colour. Any finish.
Custom colours and textures, colour-changing surfaces, embedded sensors for smart infrastructure. Co-developed with each customer.
Why graphene
Why mixing matters.
Graphene has one of the highest known intrinsic strengths. Even dispersion is what delivers it.
What graphene does
- Single-atom-thick carbon lattice, among the strongest materials known.
- Turns the polymer into a stronger matrix.
- Enables up to 3× compressive strength vs conventional concrete.
With proper mixing
- Graphene spreads evenly through the polymer.
- Every part of the unit carries its share of the load.
- Properly dispersed: up to 3× stronger.
GIM's mixing process achieves uniform graphene dispersion at production scale. Consistent performance, batch after batch.
It takes graphene expertise and concrete production together. GIM has both.
Circular inputs
Waste, locked into the mix.
Recycled and circular inputs can be bound permanently into GIM Concrete. Optional, and welcome.
Recycled plastics
Diverts waste from incineration.
Biochar
Sequesters carbon; a path to carbon-negative products.
Sulphur and waste streams
Industrial by-products, put to use.
Dune sand
Smooth desert grains that GIM Concrete can use.
GIM Concrete gives plastic waste a permanent use.
Validated
Tested, installed, in use.
Manufactured at scale
Independently tested by Intertek and SGS to ASTM standards
Installed and in use with a major Gulf customer
