A novel engineered concrete binder composition providing overall reduced clinker factor and improved binding properties. The said concrete binder composition includes a primary binder in a ratio of 10-60 weight percent and a secondary binder in a ratio of 40-90 weight percent. The said primary binder is selected from a primary material group having spontaneous hydration property. The said secondary binder is selected from a secondary material group having induced hydration property.

A cementitious protective coating material including a mixture of water, one or more of silicon dioxide/sodium silica pozzolans, anhydrous or hydrous sodium or potassium metasilicate; a rheology enhancing admixture; sodium tetraborate, sodium citrate dihydrate, citric acid, or boric acid; and a micro-fiber.

In a process for manufacturing a catalytic converter component, a ceramic unit is used that has been prepared by extruding green ceramic product through a die to form an extrusion having a honeycomb substrate structure in which tubular passages extend along the extrusion, the passages bounded by walls dividing adjacent passages from one another. The unit is obtained by cutting off a length of the extrusion and curing and firing it. The process further comprises, following the firing, injecting a mixture of a mastic component and a particulate metal component from an end of the ceramic unit into selected ones of the cells so as to block the selected cells over at least a part of the lengths thereof while maintaining all of the walls of the ceramic unit, and curing the injected material to render the injected material solid.

Provided are compositions and methods thereof that may include Portland cement, a melamine, and alumina. The compositions may further include silicon dioxide, supplementary cementitious material, polymer resin(s), hydrophobizers, preservatives, film-forming assistants, dispersants, foam stabilizers, defoamers, pigments, dyes, water, or combinations thereof. Typically, the compositions are coatings that may be applied to restore and preserve asphalt and cement road surfaces and pavements.

A method for manufacturing of paver block and bricks includes addition of cementitious materials, additives, and binding materials. The method also includes homogenization of the added materials to obtain a first mixture, addition of a hardener solution to the first mixture, mixing the first mixture with the hardener solution for 5 to 30 minutes to obtain a second mixture, casting the second mixture into a mold to obtain a solidified part, and curing the solidified part in atmospheric air.
