GRAPHENE-ENHANCED CONCRETE ADMIXTURE

Stronger. Faster. Greener.

VerteQ is a graphene admixture for ready-mix concrete that delivers independently verified strength gains, collapses cure time from weeks to days, and can cut cement content up to 20% - without changing how a single yard is poured.

THREE WAYS VERTEQ PAYS FOR ITSELF

One product. Three ways to win on your project.

Every concrete project has a bottleneck. Some are bleeding money on schedule. Some are over-buying cement to lift early. Some are facing carbon mandates they can't meet with conventional mixes. VerteQ solves each of them differently.

1
Schedule Acceleration
FOR THE OWNER

Cut weeks off the structural shell. On a single 500,000 sf tilt-up data center, that's ~55 days off the panel campaign - and ~$1.6M of construction-loan and general-conditions cost the owner stops carrying.

2
Material Substitution
FOR THE CONTRACTOR

Contractors over-design tilt walls to lift early - at the cost of $73K–$117K of extra cement on a single building. VerteQ delivers the same early lift strength without the extra cement. Same outlay, less material, scoreable carbon reduction.

3
Design Optimization
FOR THE ENGINEER & OWNER

Spec at 3,000 psi. Break at 5,000+ psi in sealed 28-day tests. The strength margin lets engineers safely specify lower design strengths - capturing lower delivered concrete cost and dramatic embodied-carbon reduction across walls, slab, and beyond.

ONE BUILDING. BY THE NUMBERS.

500,000 SF tilt-up data center.

Conventional schedule: ~95 days for the panel campaign alone. With VerteQ: ~40 days. Same crew, same equipment, same supplier - just a different admixture.

~$114K of admixture spend protects the front of the critical path. ~14× return on hard dollars - before any credit for earlier revenue, the carbon credit, or the longer life of the structure.

THE DEFENSIBLE DIFFERENCE

Most graphene comes from a mine. Ours comes from biowaste.

Industry-standard graphene is mined from graphite and refined through toxic chemical processes. Expensive. Environmentally regressive. Supply-constrained.

VerteQ's graphene - branded Biocene - is grown from biowaste through a proprietary, non-petroleum, low-carbon process. It's the only graphene-enhanced admixture on the market today whose sustainability story holds up to procurement scrutiny.

And it's the only one a chemistry major can't simply replicate. Patents and trade secrets cover the chemistry, the production process, and the application - including US Patent 11,414,351 B2.

WHERE VERTEQ IS BEING DEPLOYED

Application-agnostic. From tilt-up panels to mass infrastructure.

VerteQ is dispensed through standard ready-mix equipment at 3 lb per cubic yard (1.8 kg/m³). It performs across tilt-up panels, slabs-on-grade, footings, columns, beams, and any structural concrete pour. Validated on conventional Type I/II portland cements - the chemistry that still dominates international markets - with Type III and Type 1L (portland-limestone) compatibility programs in progress.

HYPERSCALE
Data Centers

Revenue-at-stake buildings where every day of carry is real money. VerteQ pulls cure time off the critical path and unlocks earlier delivery on tilt-up shells.

LUXURY
Resorts & Hospitality

Coastal builds with saltwater exposure and tight grand-opening schedules. Stronger, longer-lived concrete in less time - without changing the construction crew's workflow.

Panels reached 85% of 28-day design strength in 3 days - and the contractor lifted on day 3 instead of day 14.
