So what exactly is this cement company Ceratech?
About CERATECH. A Green cement & concrete company

Incorporated in 2002, CERATECH, Inc. is a clean, green cement technology company that has successfully developed and commercialized the world's first environmentally friendly green concrete system.

CeraTech's core technology converts industrial waste by-products produced by coal-fired power generation plants into hydraulic cements that provide greater durability and construction benefits when compared to portland cement. When utilizing CERATECH™ Green Cements the complete manufacturing cycle of existing cements is displaced, and tremendous environmental benefits are realized through reduced CO2 output, energy savings, preservation of virgin resources, reduced landfill requirements, profound water savings—all while providing a more durable, long life concrete.

CERATECH's carbon neutral cement is the most environmentally friendly cement available in the market today. Our green cement meets and/or exceeds the most stringent engineering requirements, is compatible with all existing batch, delivery, placing and finishing techniques, and provides exceptional durability for commercial, infrastructure and industrial applications. Marketed under the ekkomaxx™, FIREROK™, KEMROK™, brand names, CeraTech has engineered a full line of products for both new construction and repair projects which are available through a network of concrete distribution companies.

Greener fly-ash cement market to double to $47 billion in 2018

Jon Hyman (CEO) said, "We needed to establish intellectual property. We needed to fly under the radar and get some brand equity. "

So Ceratech went out and got several patents:

CeraTech Establishes New Standard for Green Sustainable Cement -- EPD Verifies the Lowest Carbon Footprint for Concrete (ekkomaxx product receives EPD!)


http://construction.ulitzer.com/node/3105636
To meet the 2030 Challenge for Products, the embodied carbon-equivalent footprint reduction shall be increased to: 35% or better in 2015, 40% or better in 2020, 45% or better in 2025, and 50% or better in 2030. "Given that we are manufacturing a non-portland cement with the lowest carbon footprint in the industry, we are confident that we will be able to meet or exceed those milestones," stated Mark Wasilko, CeraTech's Executive Vice President. "In fact, CeraTech's EPD rating also shows significant reductions in Total Primary Energy Consumption, Water Savings, and Climate Change/Global Warming Potential," he added.

Recent Exclusive Interview with Jon Hyman regarding Ceratech:

https://ceocfointerviews.com/interviews/CeraTech14.htm
Jon Hyman said, "I believe we turned the proverbial commercialization corner in late 2013 after we completed our 50th project. Our sales cycle that year compressed considerably from previous years and the sales velocity through our sales pipeline picked up significantly. Additionally in 2013, we began to achieve industry acceptance and, in some instances, outright support for our cement technology."

BOTTOM LINE:
Ceratech has game changing products with vast advantages over competition that is currently used in the cement market. They have expanded licensing capabilities and have gained trust from major cement/construction leaders within several industry segments. In my honest opinion, if Ceratech comes close to reverse merging with CSCE it will be some life changing potential to be remembered. CSCE, with 157 million Outstanding Shares and 26 million Float which is most likely at least 50% locked up be retail investors, we could easily see a 250-500 million market cap here. Hope this has been helpful to anyone interested in CSCE.

Best Regards,

CVT
