The present invention provides a spray-applied fireproof covering composition recycled from non-ferrous waste materials. The composition comprises: 10 to 80 wt % non-ferrous waste aggregate; 5 to 55 wt % binder; 5 to 35 wt % heat-absorbing material; 0.3 to 1.7 wt % organic fibers; 0.5 to 3.5 wt % setting accelerator; 0.1 to 0.7 wt % thickening agent; 0.1 to 0.9 wt % fluidity agent; and 0.05 to 0.15 wt % air-entraining agent. By utilizing non-ferrous waste bricks, previously discarded after use as refractory bricks in steel plants, the invention contributes to waste reduction and resource conservation. The composition provides superior fire protection by preventing structural collapse due to explosive spalling of concrete during fires and improves thermal insulation properties under high-temperature conditions. Additionally, when applied to damaged concrete structures, the composition exhibits reinforcing properties, enhancing structural strength.

The present invention deals with development of a novel process for manufacturing moisture resistant glossy finish hybrid green polymeric composites with variable density in range of 0.2-1.68 g/cc, low water/moisture absorption in the range of 0.1-1.3%, tensile strength and tensile modulus in range of 6.5-105 MPa and 250-6850 MPa, respectively and to the best of our knowledge the fabricated hybrid green composites has not yet developed universally using different types of industrial wastes particulates. Moreover, hybrid composites developed using industrial wastes, natural fibres and epoxy/polyester/polyurethane polymers is a unique materials and have multifunctional applications in wider spectrum as an alternative to wood, synthetic wood, wood plastic composites, screen printing sheet, plastic, fibre and glass reinforced polymer products, including tin sheet.

A cement composition and a process are provided for recycling a waste material by using the waste in the manufacture of Portland cement. The process generally comprises mixing a first quantity of the waste material thoroughly with a second quantity of a solid material so as to produce a non-compacted additive. The non-compacted additive is applied to cement clinker, wherein the additive is utilized as a substitute for virgin ingredients normally used in the manufacture of the Portland cement. In an embodiment, the non-compacted additive comprises a consistency of wet earth which is readily pliable with the second quantity by weight not exceeding three times the first quantity by weight. The cement clinker is then pulverized so as to distribute the additive within the resulting Portland cement.
