<strong>ENZYME</strong> <strong>STABILIZED</strong> <strong>MUD</strong><br />

(<strong>EARTHEN</strong>) <strong>CONSTRUCTIO</strong>N<br />

USING BOROZYME – R<br />

‘DZ-1X’<br />

DZ – 1X Brick Application


Enzyme Stabilized Mud (Earthen) Construction<br />

• Modern building industry dealing with providing shelter<br />

comprises of using materials such as “Fired/burned/fused<br />

bricks”, “Cement” and “Steel” to produce rock solid<br />

buildings, at an astronomically rising cost, mainly due to<br />

the cost of producing the above mentioned products.<br />

Moreover, the buildings constructed from these materials<br />

are major energy guzzlers requiring energy to COOL, HEAT<br />

AND ILLUMINATE.<br />

• <strong>EARTHEN</strong> BUILDINGS HAVE BEST INSULATION<br />

AGAINST HEAT AND COLD.

• Mud has been used as a construction building<br />

material for the last 10000 years.<br />

• Mud offers the same versatility in construction<br />

offered by burnt clay bricks/blocks, and then even<br />

more.<br />

• Offers to save up to 658kg of Carbondioxide<br />

emissions per 100 sq. foot of construction

• BOROZYME – R (DZ-<br />

1X) stabilized Mud<br />

blocks are cast in<br />

either:<br />

• adobe method if the<br />

soil is permitting or<br />

• using a press to make<br />

compressed earth<br />

blocks.

be<br />

prepared

Mud is mixed with BOROZYME – R ‘DZ-1X’ and<br />

sufficient water and allowed to incubate until<br />

homogenous wetting and plasticity is achieved

A plastic sheet is placed on<br />

the concrete to further ensure<br />

no water via capillary action<br />

seeps into the earthen wall.<br />

BOROZYME - R stabilized<br />

blocks are then placed onto<br />

the base, stuck to each other<br />

using mortar made from the<br />

same earth used to cast the<br />

blocks

BOROZYME - R stabilized<br />

blocks are now placed the<br />

same way conventional red<br />

clay burnt bricks are laid to<br />

construct a wall, the<br />

difference being they are<br />

stuck to each other using<br />

mortar made from the same<br />

earth used to cast the<br />

blocks

• THE CONSTRUCTED BUILDING CAN BE FITTED<br />

WITH WINDOWS AND DOORS OF CHOICE.<br />

• THE FINISHED SURFACES CAN BE PAINTED WITH<br />

ANY COLOUR OF CHOICE OR CAN BE LEFT<br />

UNPAINTED TO ENJOY THE NATURAL COLOUR<br />

OF THE EARTH.<br />

• FLOORINGS, LIGHT-FITTINGS, AND PLUMBING IS<br />

ALL DONE THE SAME WAY AS IN ANY OTHER<br />

CONSTRUCTED BUILDINGS.
