Cost Efficiency
Cement route: ~$16/yd³ to move 3,500 → 5,000 PSI. Trident route: ~$4/yd³ for equivalent strength gain. Net savings: approximately $12/yd³.

Trident
Strength-Enhancing Admixture
Trident is a liquid admixture containing modified nanomaterials. Unlike traditional strength enhancers that accelerate cement hydration, Trident works at the microstructural level—reinforcing the pore structure of hardening concrete.
In controlled trials, producers have seen $8–12/yd³ savings with strength gains ranging from 1,000–1,800 PSI at 28 days.
- Faster early strength (20–30% at 24 hrs) and higher 28-day compressive strength
- Reduced water and chloride permeability for better durability
- No impact on workability; compatible with common superplasticizers
- Enables cement replacement (e.g. fly ash, GGBS) for lower carbon footprint
Product details
Overview & Usage
Trident is suitable for applications where early strength, durability, or cement reduction matters:
- Ready-mix concrete (RMC)
- Precast / prestressed concrete
- Structural and high-performance concrete
- Specifications targeting sustainability or early strength
Note: Results from M25 baseline testing at 800 ml/m³. Your results may vary by mix design.
Advantages
Strength Performance
Achieve 20–30% strength increase within 24 hours and 1,500+ PSI improvement at 28 days. Use a 3500 PSI recipe for 5000 PSI requirements. Validated in mix designs up to 12,000 PSI.
Sustainability
Reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 50% by replacing up to 50% of cement with fly ash or GGBS (Slag) while maintaining or exceeding strength requirements.
Durability
Reduce water permeability by 43% and reduce chloride permeability by 60%. Stronger steel-concrete bond and superior corrosion resistance.
Integration
Zero equipment changes. No impact on workability, setting time, or curing. Compatible with PCE, lignosulfonate, naphthalene superplasticizers. Dose 500–1300 g per cubic yard at end of mix cycle.
