This is an opportunity for high-return investment into world’s cutting edge
innovation project in Latvia.
Innovation project creates novel product category and will totally re-invent
world's building construction industry by making premium quality building
costs significantly go down, accomplish projects at much faster pace and
ensure buildings with much needed energy efficiency.
The investor will start to enjoy safe and high returns on investment already
within 5 years from the launch of the project with long term continuous
wealth growth in the company that is projected to be worth several billion
Euros.
Executive Summary:

BUILDING COSTS ↓
DELIVERY SPEED ↑
ENERGY EFFICIENCY ↑

What is the most
widespread way of building
houses in
Central and Northern
Europe today?

Building is a step-by-step approach by adding all
the necessary layers to make living safe and
comfortable all year around.
The key steps & layers are:
• Building walls / floors
• Insulation works
• Finishing works of external walls
• Finishing works of internal walls
Each step requires certain time and financial
resources that must completed in a logical sequence.

Real life example:
Thermal insulation
works and finishing
works of external and
internal walls can be
started only when
concrete based wall
construction humidity
goes bellow 15%.
And usually it takes at
least 8 weeks.

❶ Wall / frame
❷ Thermal insulation
❸ Internal wall
❹ External wall
Step 1.
Only then Step 2.
… and then Step 3 & 4
Each step requires
Time, Human &
Financial resources
is there a space for
EFFICIENCY
while remaining
superior quality?

The same could be done
simpler, much faster and with extra added value
if one single building material was available with the
following key characteristics:

• Non-flammable
• Refractory
• High pressure strength
• High tensile strength
• Low well-balanced humidity
• Low thermal conductivity

Thus, there is a need for one
single material performing 2
functions: ❶ wall frame &
❷ thermal insulation – giving
immediate access for wall
finishing works that eventually
saves construction time &
financial resources.

NOW
IT CAN BE
ACHIEVABL
E
1 material = 2 functions:
❶ Wall frame
❷ Thermal insulation

What is the essence of the innovation?
New α-from high strength gypsum based substance SULPHOPOR
has been created that gives grounds to mass production of novel
building construction materials.
What are cutting edge advantages of SULPHOPOR based materials?
High thermal insulation : Non-flammable : Refractory : High pressure
strength : High tensile strength : Low well-balanced humidity : Non-toxic :
Eco Friendly
What are SULPHOPOR based end products ready to use in real life?
Primary these are building wall blocks, internal wall blocks, thermal
insulation plates together with other α-from high strength gypsum
based substances as dry compounds for self levelling floors and dry
compounds for other multi purpose use.

❶ When SULPHOPOR based materials are used in construction, no need to
use any other thermal insulations materials.
❷ Building & construction costs shall drop at least by 20%.
❸❹ Finishing works of external & internal walls can be started right after
construction works.
❺ Total time needed to complete building construction shall decrease by 25-
30%.
❻ SULPHOPOR based materials are eco-friendly. It is sustainable product
and as a eco-friendly material comes right after natural wood products.
One of the key advantages of SULPHOPOR is highly energy efficient
production, resulting in very low energy input into the end product.

Scientific Background & Reasoning

SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND
α-type hemihydrate gypsum binding agent
Natural rock gypsum is used worldwide in production of β-type hemihydrate gypsum
(β Ca2 SO4 .2H2O) binding agent in gypsum cooking kettles. This binding agent is characterised by
low strength, low moistening coefficient and low mark G4...G6. This is due to the fact that β-type
gypsum calcium sulphate crystals are long rodlike, needle-shaped, extended with large specific
surface.
In contrast to β-type, α-type calcium sulphates are prismatic with small specific surface. This allows
the use of the same raw material – natural rock gypsum with calcium sulphate content 60-90%
(corresponding to Class I-IV rock gypsum) – to obtain α-type hemihydrate gypsum
(α Ca2 SO4 .2H2O) binding agent having 2-3 times higher strength and softening properties and to
reach mark G13…G25.
α-type gypsum anhydrite binding agent
The widely-known gypsum anhydrite binding agent is β-type calcium sulphate anhydrite (β Ca2
SO4); however, α-type gypsum anhydrite binding agent is not manufactured in the world. α-type
gypsum anhydrite binding agent differs with unusually high strength properties and may be obtained
from natural rock gypsum by using α-type hemihydrate gypsum technology base. The formula and
technology currently is only known by the scientist and project owner.
Sulphopor
Sulphopor is a stone like material obtained by cellularising mortar. The main component of the
product is α-type gypsum anhydrite binding agent. By its mechanical properties, sulphopor
corresponds to autoclaved cellular concrete but has higher heat insulation properties. Sulphopor is
basically a type of cellular gypsum but differs from such with higher characterising properties.

Yet…

To make it happen world’s first factory for α-form high stress gypsum
semi hydrate and anti hydrate binding and SULPHOPOR substance
production must be built.

The site has been spotted in Latvia where production can be set up thanks to
first negotiated business incentives and very close access to one of the
Europe’s richest deposits of gypsum stone.

Project Advancement & Investment Phases

Phase 1
Set up BGT Ltd. pilot manufacturing site for:
• form high stress substance production with expected initial capacity
30’000 tones per annum.
• SULPHOPOR material (external wall blocks, internal wall blocks, thermal
insulation plates, dry compounds for self levelling floor bases) production
with expected initial annual capacity of 75’000 m3.
Source of raw material: gypsum supplied by 3rd parties
* BGT - Baltic Gypsum Technologies
Ltd
Time needed to complete the phase: 12-18 months
Investment: EUR 5’000’000

Phase 2
• Set up BGT Ltd. Research & Development lab as part of BGT Ltd. pilot
manufacturing site.
• BGT R&D lab will be responsible for further advancing the SULFOPOR
production technology & equipment.
• This is the phase that will deliver added value of over 1000%.
Time needed to complete the phase: 12 months

Phase 3
