Neocrete has developed a new type of additive for cement and concrete that boosts the performance of abundant, low quality supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), increasing their use, reducing cost and carbon per MPa.
How it works
Neocrete is a new dry powder multi-mechanism additive that boosts the performance of poor quality SCMs. It does this in four key ways:
Molecular activation
Activates dormant cement and pozzolanic molecules, increasing the number of active molecules available for bonding.
Densifying microstructure
Increases the density of molecular bonds.
Reaction acceleration
Accelerates cement hydration and pozzolanic reactions.
Water reduction
Delays early hydration reactions.
Molecular activation
Mechanism
Activates dormant cement and pozzolanic molecules, increasing the number of active molecules available for bonding.
Impact
Activates dormant cement and pozzolanic molecules, increasing the number of active molecules available for bonding.
Benefit
More of your SCM bonds like cement, so you can replace more of it.
Water reduction
Mechanism
Delays early hydration reactions.
Impact
Delays early hydration reactions.
Benefit
Less water for the same mix, lifting strength and durability.

Benefit
Faster early strength, so high-SCM mixes suit precast and fast pours.

Increases the density of molecular bonds.
Impact
Increases the density of molecular bonds.
Benefit
A tighter, less permeable matrix, for more durable concrete.
