The France-based clinker-free low-carbon cement producer says the H-P2A patent has been validated by the Chinese Patent Office under the number CN ZL201680018574.9.

It adds that, after the United States in 2020 and Europe in 2021, it is developing the intellectual property of its H-P2A technology with the issuance of this third patent.

The H-P2A (High Performance Alkaline Activation) technology is a geopolymer technology allowing the formulation of decarbonated cements, based on co-products from the industry, intended for the industrial mortar and glue market.

Hoffmann co-founders Julien Blanchard and David Hoffmann commented: "We are very proud to extend the intellectual property of our H-P2A technology to a market with such great potential as China. The achievement of this first milestone marks our commitment to raising the barriers to entry in as many markets as possible around the world."
