Nano-concrete technology

A new category of concrete technology
— not another admixture.

Trident is a liquid nano-technology dosed at the end of your normal mix. It lifts cement conversion from ~75–85% to 90%+ — denser, stronger concrete from the same mix design, with no equipment changes.

01Case study — precast

Three mold turns instead of one.

The problem
A North American precast producer was capped at one mold turn per day — 8-hour strip strength on Mix 201 stalled at 1,077 PSI.
What we dosed
Trident, added at the end of their normal batch cycle. No mix redesign, no new equipment, no change to the pour schedule.
What happened
8-hour strength rose from 1,077 to 2,786 PSI — a 159% gain that unlocked three mold turns a day and effectively tripled production capacity, with zero capex.

“159% stronger at 8 hours.”

The problem
Replacing cement with slag is the fastest route to lower embodied carbon — but at 50% replacement, strength normally collapses.
What we dosed
An independent lab ran a 50% OPC / 50% GGBS blend with Trident F01 at dosages from 600 to 1,200 grams, against an undosed control.
What happened
The dosed blend beat the control by +2,204 PSI at 28 days, peaking at 7,569 PSI — carbon cut roughly in half, with strength to spare.

“+2,204 PSI over control.”

03Industry challenges

Why concrete producers are looking for alternatives

Most strength-enhancing alternatives add cost or slow operations down. Trident was developed to close that gap.

Tighter timelines

Precast operators want more daily mold turns. Ready-mix customers need strength faster. Schedules keep compressing.

Sustainability mandates

Green-building specs, embodied-carbon targets, and SCM substitution requirements are tightening — and they demand data.

Rising material costs

Cement prices keep climbing while bids stay competitive. Hitting higher strengths by buying more cement erodes margin.

04Proven results

What Trident delivers

Proven in independent testing and designed to drop into your existing operations.

The economics

Taking a 3,500 PSI mix to 5,000 PSI — cement-only versus Trident:

$16/yd³ cement-only$4/yd³ with Trident~$12/yd³ saved

Same structural outcome with 65 kg/m³ less cement.

Actual savings depend on your cement costs and mix design.

+1,500 PSI at 28 days — up to +2,200 PSI in high-SCM blends
20–30% early strength gain within 24 hours
−43% water permeability · −60% chloride penetration
No impact on slump, setting, or air content

How it fits your operations

Added at the end of the mix cycle, 500–1,300 g/yd³. Compatible with common superplasticizers. No capex, no retraining, no mix redesign.

05The science

The science behind a new category

Peer-reviewed research confirms 6–36% of cement remains unhydrated in standard concrete. Trident recovers that wasted potential — without changing your mix design.

06Sustainability

A carbon story that's structural, not a claim

Trident enables up to 50% cement replacement with fly ash or GGBS while maintaining or exceeding strength. The CO₂ reduction is built into the chemistry.

As green building mandates tighten, producers using Trident have an edge on LEED, net-zero, and performance-spec projects.
