ADDITIVE
COMPARISON MATRIX
EdenCreteTM does the job of several different types of admixtures you may already use. Typically, the addition of EdenCreteTM improves the efficiency of other admixtures already in the concrete mix. Whether your goal is to reduce permeability, improve flexural, tensile and/or compressive strength, or improve resistance to surface abrasion and shrinkage, EdenCreteTM gives you the option to replace or reduce the amount of other admixtures normally required to achieve the desired results; saving you money.
EdenCreteTM is neutral and non-reactive. It can be used in mixes containing any of the various admixture chemistry-types commonly in the market. Unlike chemical concrete admixtures that can impact the workability, color or effectiveness of your mix. EdenCreteTM does not require altering formulations or procedures to get the mix you want. It offers a wide range of compatibility for contractors, architects and ready mix companies.
Since EdenCreteTM works on the nano-level to build strength, there is no impact on the fresh properties, including workability or finish-ability of your concrete; unlike synthetic macro fibers.

EdenCrete | None | ||||||
Fibers (PP, PVA, Acrylok) | Reduced workability, difficult to handle | ||||||
Shrinkage Reducers | Strength reduction, expensive, reduces workability | ||||||
Steel Reinforcement | Vulnerability to corrosion, and weight | ||||||
Surface Hardener | Compatibility issues (alkali-silica) | ||||||
Silica Fume, Fly Ash | Expensive, increased water, hard to handle | ||||||
Steel Fibers | Reduced workability, difficult to handle |
Harness the strength of carbon nanotubes for your next pour. Developed by Eden Innovations, EdenCreteTM is a carbon nanotube- enriched liquid additive that elevates concrete structures to new levels of strength and toughness. When added to concrete mixtures, it performs like multiple additives rolled into one: It boosts surface abrasion resistance and produces extremely low permeability while improving tensile-strength like no other product on the market today.
