The additive that densifies the matrix.
The additive is dosed into the mixing water first; cement and aggregate come after. Scroll to see the real batching order.
Dosed into the water BEFORE the cement: graphene is perfectly dispersed from the first second.
With graphene already in the water, cement and aggregate join the batch and hydration bonds it into the matrix.
Higher compressive and flexural strength, lower porosity and up to 30 % less cement at equal performance.
The additive that densifies the matrix.
4th-generation multifunctional additives with graphene technology for concrete and mortars. Graphene reacts with free lime during cement hydration, bonds chemically to the structure and densifies the cementitious matrix: more strength, less water and up to 30 % less cement for the same performance. Own international patent.
Work out the cement you save
SmartADDITIVESCatalogue reference: from 300 to 210 kg/m³ of cement for the same characteristic strength, and from 40 to 55 MPa at 28 days (UNE-EN 12390-3). The actual saving at each plant is set through preliminary trials with our technical department.
cement demand for the same characteristic strength
Ready-mix and plant concrete: FLUID range (ULTRA · PREMIUM · PLUS · BASIC), SUPERPLASTICIZER and PLASTICIZER. High water-reducing power.
Precast: FLUID hyperplasticiser and FINISH release agent. High early strengths and maximum production efficiency.
Extreme exposure: DURABILITY PREMIUM, RETRACTION and corrosion INHIBITOR. Impermeability and protection against chlorides and carbonation.
Semi-dry concrete: FLUID PREMIUM, PLASTICIZER and WATERPROOF mass water-repellent. Freeze-thaw resistance.
Shotcrete: alkali-free EU accelerator and FLUID water reducer. More thickness per layer and better rates.
PVA, MACRO and MICRO fibres to replace or reduce reinforcement. Compatible with the whole range.
Complementary agents: air entrainer, antifreeze, retarder, viscosity modifier and clay inhibitor.

How much cement does SmartADDITIVES save?
The catalogue reference is going from 300 to 210 kg/m³ of cement — 30 % less — while keeping the same characteristic strength. The actual saving at each plant depends on the cement, aggregates and mix design, and is set through preliminary trials with our technical department.
What compressive strength is reached?
In the catalogue reference, 28-day compressive strength rises from 40 to 55 MPa, tested to UNE-EN 12390-3.
How does graphene work in concrete?
Graphene reacts with free lime during cement hydration, bonds chemically to its structure and densifies the cementitious matrix. That improves strength and durability and allows water and cement to be reduced.
Which line do I need?
There are seven Solid lines: MECHANIC for ready-mix, PRECAST for precast, HARD for severe exposure, DRY for semi-dry concrete, GUNITE for sprayed concrete, FIBER to reduce reinforcement and SUPPORT for complementary agents (air entrainer, antifreeze, retarder, viscosity modifier and clay inhibitor).
Is there an Environmental Product Declaration?
Yes. The admixtures have an EPD verified by The International EPD System, product-specific rather than sector-average, valid for tenders with environmental criteria.
What is the dosage?
We do not publish generic dosages: they depend on each plant's cement and mix design. They are set through preliminary trials with our technical department, which also checks compatibility with the admixtures you already use.
