Trident Nano-Concrete Technology

Cut your concrete's carbon by 46%. Then choose: faster, or cheaper.

Trident is one liquid your concrete supplier adds at their plant. It lets them replace half the cement with , the change that cuts the carbon, without the slow strength gain that usually comes with it.

The problem it solves

Low-carbon concrete usually costs you schedule. Trident removes that trade-off.

Most of concrete's carbon comes from cement. The usual fix is to replace some of it with , a steel-industry byproduct. The catch: past about 40%, the concrete gains strength slowly, every pour waits longer for its strength test, and the low-carbon mix gets out. With Trident, the 50% slag mix in this field trial reached the untreated mix's 28-day strength at 7 days, and measured 9,940 PSI vs. 7,090 PSI at 28 days: 40% stronger.

Carbon, always: ≈46% lower embodied carbon at 50% slag vs. a standard cement mix, based on published .

Then your call: spend the extra strength on schedule (design strength at 7 days) or on cost (≈18% lower modeled mix cost, net of Trident), or split it by pour.

Illustrative. Assumes each counted pour sits on the critical path and waits for its 28-day strength test. In lab and field testing, half-slag mixes with Trident reached their 28-day strength at 7 days and finished up to 40% stronger at 28. Your trial batch confirms it for your mix.
