KYK Construction Chemicals is forming an international consortium for a RAMP JTC 2026 project under Topic 3 and is looking for complementary partners.
The project aims to develop innovative geopolymer and/or alkali-activated binder systems based on secondary raw materials and waste-derived resources, with a focus on their application in sustainable construction materials and construction chemicals.
The project will address the valorisation of suitable secondary raw materials and waste streams, covering material characterisation, processing and activation, binder development, formulation, performance validation, scale-up and industrial demonstration.
We are looking for partners with expertise in:
• Secondary raw materials and waste characterisation
• Waste processing, pre-treatment and activation
• Geopolymer and alkali-activated binder technologies
• Mineralogical, chemical and advanced material characterisation
• Sustainable construction material development
• Construction chemical formulation and application
• Performance and durability testing
• Pilot-scale production, process development and scale-up
• Recycling and waste valorisation technologies
• Industrial validation and demonstration
• LCA, circularity and techno-economic assessment
• Industrial symbiosis and waste-to-resource solutions
We welcome universities, research organisations, technology providers, raw material and waste suppliers, recycling companies, pilot-scale facilities and industrial partners with complementary expertise.
The final work packages and partner responsibilities will be jointly defined according to the expertise, infrastructure and contribution of the consortium members. We are particularly interested in partners who can contribute to a clearly defined part of the project value chain.
KYK Construction Chemicals will act as project coordinator and contribute expertise in geopolymer technologies, construction chemical formulation, laboratory validation, performance testing and industrial scale-up.

KYK Construction Chemicals Inc. is a Türkiye-based manufacturer specializing in high-performance construction chemicals, advanced binder technologies and sustainable material solutions for the construction industry.
KYK combines industrial manufacturing capabilities with a dedicated R&D team and an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited testing laboratory, providing expertise in formulation development, material characterisation, performance validation, durability assessment and industrial implementation.
The company has extensive experience in hydraulic binder systems, geopolymer technologies, polymer-modified materials and hybrid binder systems, as well as waterproofing solutions, repair mortars, flooring systems, adhesives, coatings and concrete additives.
KYK has the capability to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale material development, performance validation, pilot production and industrial implementation.
Through the RAMP project, KYK aims to establish an international collaboration combining complementary expertise in secondary raw materials, waste valorisation, geopolymer technology, construction chemicals, pilot-scale production and sustainability assessment, with the objective of developing solutions with strong industrial and market potential.
If your organisation has relevant expertise, materials, technologies, testing capabilities or industrial facilities and is interested in joining an international consortium under RAMP JTC 2026, we would be pleased to discuss a potential role in the project.
