The raw material at the core of the new product line was developed as a natural alternative to synthetic resins, specifically designed for use in bioclimatic housing. The research began with calcium hydroxide, a compound that demonstrated excellent potential for this application due to its unique and favorable properties.
Development Rooted in Tradition
Since 1922, the company “Develime” has been leveraging its extensive expertise in traditional Greek construction techniques. In partnership with the University of Crete’s Department of Archaeology and the University of Athens’ Department of Physics, Develime embarked on an innovative project to develop a cutting-edge resin based on calcium hydroxide. This collaboration resulted in a breakthrough formulation that significantly enhanced the material’s crystalline structure.
The result is a product that offers unparalleled elasticity and hardness, far surpassing the performance of traditional cement mortars. This advancement has made it possible to significantly reduce the reliance on synthetic resins in construction materials.
