QUANTCRETETM

QuantCrete™ is a revolutionary nanotechnology additive that transforms conventional concrete into a high-performance, ultra-durable material. Leveraging ultrafine <20 nm nanoparticles, including QuantCrete™ NanoFlex, it delivers exceptional compressive and flexural strength, superior durability, corrosion and microbial resistance, aesthetic longevity, and advanced radiation shielding — all from just grams of additive per cubic metre.

This is next-generation construction technology: engineered to be smarter, stronger, more resilient, and sustainable.

QUANTCRETE™ — UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE

QuantCrete™ operates at unprecedented Specific Surface Area (SSA) levels, dramatically surpassing conventional construction materials:

This ultra-high SSA enables nano-scale reinforcement mechanisms that traditional materials cannot achieve. QuantCrete™:

• penetrates and stabilises nano-sized pores,

• accelerates and intensifies hydration to create ultra-dense cement phases,

• strengthens critical interfacial zones between aggregate and paste,

• arrests micro-cracks and prevents early propagation,

• progressively increases flexural strength over time via NanoFlex,

• enhances lightweight, high-density concrete for radiation protection and advanced structural efficiency.

The ultrafine particles optimise packing density, allowing concrete to achieve high density for radiation shielding without excessive weight, enabling thinner walls, reduced structural load, and smarter structural profiles.

ADVANCED RADIATION SHIELDING

QuantCrete™ integrates specialised ultrafine radiation-shielding quantum materials, engineered to significantly improve gamma and neutron attenuation.

Key advantages include:

• High radiation attenuation per unit thickness, outperforming conventional concrete,

• Thinner, lighter protective layers, reducing structural weight and foundation requirements,

• Enhanced construction efficiency and safety for mega-projects, laboratories, and medical facilities,

• Optimised structural profiles for high-rise buildings, bridges, and other complex builds.

These nanoparticles densify the concrete matrix, fill micro-pores, and reinforce interfacial zones, achieving simultaneously higher mechanical performance and superior radiation protection.

STRONGER, DENSIFIED & SHEAR FORCE RESILIENT CONCRETE

QuantCrete™ delivers substantial compressive strength gains, while NanoFlex progressively improves flexural performance over time, ensuring concrete becomes tougher and more resilient under sustained or dynamic loads.

Applications benefiting from this time-dependent performance include:

• Mega high-rise buildings — reduces lateral drift, cracking, and creep under long-term loads.

• Long-span bridges — enhanced toughness withstands heavy traffic, vibration, and environmental stress.

• Ultra-thin concrete elements — thinner sections maintain structural integrity, enabling sleek and efficient designs.

• Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) — achieves unprecedented strength-to-weight ratios.

• Micro-cement and architectural finishes — thin overlays gain mechanical durability without sacrificing aesthetics.

• Radiation shielding structures — high-density, lightweight walls maximise protection while optimising structural mass.

SUPERIOR CORROSION PROTECTION & MICROBIAL RESISTANCE

QuantCrete™ drastically reduces pathways for moisture, oxygen, and corrosive ions, safeguarding steel reinforcement from chemical and bacteria-induced corrosion.

This prolongs structural life, particularly vital for high-rise buildings, bridges, tunnels, and critical infrastructure.

MOULD, STAINING & SURFACE DISCOLOURATION CONTROL

In humid, tropical, and coastal climates, QuantCrete™’s low-porosity microstructure prevents moisture retention and microbial attachment, resulting in:

• cleaner, more hygienic surfaces,

• long-lasting aesthetic appearance,

reduced biological fouling and unsightly streaking.

FREEZE–THAW DURABILITY

Freeze–thaw cycles are a primary cause of cracking and surface failure in cold climates. QuantCrete™ mitigates these effects by:

• limiting water ingress through ultra-low porosity,

• densifying the microstructure to resist internal pressure,

• strengthening interfacial zones prone to fracture,

• minimising micro-crack initiation.

Concrete remains stable, durable and visually intact through repeated seasonal cycles.

ENHANCED SEISMIC, DYNAMIC & RADIATION RESILIENCE

QuantCrete™ improves ductility, energy absorption, and micro-crack bridging, enabling structures to resist earthquakes, wind loads, and dynamic vibrations.

NanoFlex provides progressive flexural strength gains over time, enhancing resilience in:

• high-rise towers,

• long-span bridges,

• ultra-thin or lightweight structural elements, radiation shielding walls.

REDUCED MAINTENANCE & LOWER LIFECYCLE COSTS

By resisting cracking, corrosion, microbial attack, freeze–thaw damage, and environmental degradation, QuantCrete™ reduces repair needs and extends service life:

• lower maintenance budgets,

• fewer interventions,

• improved long-term reliability,

• reduced whole-life cost for ambitious construction projects.

SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION STRATEGY

QuantCrete™ allows reduced cement content (15 - 75%) without sacrificing performance, thus directly lowering embodied carbon. Its compact, lightweight form reduces transport emissions, supporting environmentally responsible construction.

Lighter, stronger concrete enables smarter structural profiles, optimising material use, reducing foundation load and improving overall project efficiency.

SUPPORTING AMBITIOUS & CHALLENGING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

QuantCrete™, particularly with NANOFLEX, thrives in the most demanding environments:

• Desert and arid regions: resists thermal cracking, shrinkage and high-temperature stress.

• Arctic and freeze-prone zones: ensures freeze–thaw stability and low-temperature reliability.

• Mega high-rise buildings: continuous flexural strengthening improves performance under sustained lateral loads.

• Bridges and long-span structures: enhanced toughness for dynamic and heavy traffic loads.

• Ultra-thin concrete designs, UHPC, and micro-cement: minimal cross-sections without compromising strength.

• Radiation shielding applications: high-density, lightweight concrete provides superior protection while optimising structural profiles.
