A Different Mechanism for Stronger Concrete

Trident is a liquid admixture built on highly modified nanomaterial technology. In controlled trials with producers across North America and Europe, it has delivered measurable early and late strength gains and cost reductions—without changing workability, setting time, or existing equipment.

Independent testing by SGS TEC, Ideal Laboratory, and KCT Laboratory.

Why Concrete Producers Are Looking For Alternatives

The concrete industry is facing more challenges today. Most strength-enhancing alternatives either add costs or require process changes that slow operations down. Trident was developed to address this gap.

Tighter timelines

Project schedules compress while sustainability mandates tighten.

Stay competitive

Delivering great quality while keeping margins is increasingly difficult.

Rising material costs

Profit margins are under pressure as materials keep getting more expensive.

Here's what we've observed in controlled trials with producers:

The Economics

Moving from a 3,500 PSI mix to 5,000 PSI using additional cement typically costs around $16 per cubic yard. In our trials, the same strength jump using Trident cost approximately $4 per cubic yard. Actual savings depend on your cement costs, mix designs, and specifications. We've built a calculator to help you estimate. Validated in mix designs up to 12,000 PSI.

What the Testing Shows

SGS TEC evaluated Trident across various mix designs. Results showed consistent early strength improvements—typically 20–30% within the first 24 hours—without affecting slump or setting time. 28-day compressive strength improvements ranged from 1,000 to 1,800 PSI depending on mix design and dosage.

How It Fits Your Operations

Trident is added at the end of the mix cycle—500 to 1,000 ml per cubic meter. No equipment changes required. In testing, we've seen minimal impact on slump (typically less than 10mm reduction) and no change to setting or curing times. Compatible with PCE, lignosulfonate, and naphthalene-based superplasticizers.
