Cost Efficiency
Moving 3,500 → 5,000 PSI costs ~$16/yd³ with cement alone vs. ~$4/yd³ with Trident — ~$12/yd³ net savings.

Trident
Nano-Concrete Technology
Trident is not an admixture. It works at the microstructural level, lifting cement conversion from ~75–85% to 95%+ — denser, stronger concrete from the exact same mix, with no equipment changes.
- +1,500 PSI at 28 days · 20–30% early strength gain at 24 hours
- ~$12/yd³ net savings vs. the same strength from cement alone
- −43% water permeability · −60% chloride permeability
- Up to 50% cement replacement with fly ash or GGBS
Advantages
Why producers switch to Trident
Strength Performance
20–30% gain within 24 hours; +1,500 PSI at 28 days, up to +2,200 PSI in high-SCM blends. In precast, up to 159% at 8 hours.
Sustainability
Up to 50% cement replacement with fly ash or GGBS — ~125 kg CO₂ saved per m³ in a 50/50 blend.
Durability
−43% water permeability and −60% chloride permeability. Stronger steel-concrete bond, better corrosion resistance.
Integration
Zero equipment changes; no impact on workability, setting, or curing. Dose 500–1,300 g/yd³ at end of mix cycle.

The data behind the claims
A condensed view of three of the strongest trial datasets. Full results live on the Trial Results page.
Independent Lab — Fly Ash Blend (highest cement / lowest fly-ash ratio)
Dosage held constant at 32.4 oz/m³.
| Mix (Trident / Cement / Fly Ash, kg/m³) | 3-day PSI | 7-day PSI | 28-day PSI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control — 0 / 470 / 130 | 4,128 | 5,210 | 6,534 |
| Trident — 32.4 / 470 / 130 | 5,076 | 6,718 | 8,361 |
| Δ (28-day) | — | — | +1,827 PSI |
Independent Lab — 50/50 OPC/GGBS Blend
High-SCM mix at two dosage levels.
| Mix | 28-day PSI | Δ vs Control |
|---|---|---|
| Control | 5,365 | — |
| F01-1000g | 6,989 | +1,624 PSI |
| F01-1200g | 7,569 | +2,204 PSI |
Ready-Mix Customer (North America) — Fly Ash Substitution
Trident dosed at 4.78 oz/cwt while reducing total cementitious content by 5%.
| Mix | 7-day PSI | 28-day PSI | Cementitious |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control DCA 6 | 4,130 | 5,280 | Baseline |
| Trident DCA 6 @ 4.78 oz/cwt | 4,550 | 6,260 | −5% |
| Δ vs Control | +420 PSI | +980 PSI | — |
Strength gains while reducing total cementitious content — cost and carbon savings without compromising structural performance.
