A Different Approach to Concrete Strength
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.
Note: Results from M25 baseline testing at 800ml/m³. Your results may vary by mix design.
Five Reasons to Choose Trident
Cost Effeciency
In trials comparing cement-based strength gains vs. Trident:
•Cement route: ~$16/yd³ to move 3,500 → 5,000 PSI
•Trident route: ~$4/yd³ for equivalent strength gain
Net savings: approximately $12/yd³ (actual results depend on your material costs and specifications).
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.
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
Improve water permeability by 43% (0.07→0.04 KT/M²) and reduce chloride permeability by 60% (585→235 C).
Stronger steel-concrete bond and superior corrosion resistance extend structural lifespan.
Integration
Zero equipment changes required. No impact on workability, setting time, or curing time. Compatible with existing superplasticizers (PCE, Lignosulfonate, Naphthalene). Simply dose 500-1300g per cubic yard at the end of your mix cycle.
