HAZAMA ANDO CORPORATION has acquired a 34% stake in start-up venture company Growth Partners, Limited (hereafter GP).
GP holds the patent to Celldoron(Note1), which features high water absorbency and a special particle structure that makes it effective in instantly and easily reducing the fluidity of high moisture content/highly fluid solid-liquid mixtures. Consequently, Celldoron is effective in shortening construction time and reducing disposal/treatment costs by enabling increased workability for residual/returned concrete(Note2) treatment, sludge treatment and water damage restoration, etc. The ready-mix concrete treatment method using Celldoron C is registered in NETIS(Note3) (NETIS No.: KT-200036-A).
In addition, Celldoron is an environmentally friendly additive agent(Note4) as it uses recycled paper such as shredder waste as a raw material.
Celldoron
Based on the Company’s ongoing R&D for Carbon Pool Concrete, Celldoron is an effective additive agent, in such circumstances as the use of residual/returned concrete, and we intend to actively utilize this environmentally friendly technology.
HAZAMA ANDO CORPORATION will accelerate measures to realize a carbon-neutral society by creating technologies and services that help lower environmental burdens as it pursues the strategy create environmental value promoted in the HAZAMA ANDO Vision2030 long-term vision.
