Portland Cement Chemistry vs. Geopolymer Chemistry
Left: hardening of Portland cement (P.C.) through simple hydration of Calcium Silicate into Calcium Di-Silicate hydrate and lime Ca(OH)2.
Right: hardening (setting) of Geopolymer resin (GP) through poly-condensation of Potassium Oligo-(sialate-siloxo) into Potassium Poly(sialate-siloxo) cross linked network.
