Update - 28 Day Results -Australian Tests of EdenCrete

The tests in Australia of trial cylinders and beams of concrete made using a variety of base concrete mixtures, enriched with various proportions of Eden's concrete additive, EdenCrete,
28 days after pouring, have produced further encouraging results.
The best results, compared with 28 day old test samples made with the same particular mix (i.e. the same ratio of cement/ sand/ aggregate) but with no EdenCrete added, showed:

• An average increase (over two samples that were tested) in compressive strength in one particular concrete mix of 38%; and

• An average increase (over two samples that were tested) in flexural strength in another concrete mix of 27.8%.

Whilst the results were not uniform and varied across the range of concrete mixtures to which varying proportions of EdenCrete had been added, encouragingly the overall trend appears to confirm that both the proportional compressive strength and flexural strength of the tested concrete mixes increased as the added amount of EdenCrete increased.
Further tests under this current trial programme are yet to take place at 56 days.

These trials are being undertaken in its Australia laboratories by a national concrete company, which is part of a multinational group of concrete and cement companies.

EdenCrete, which in October 2014 won the Australian Civil Contractors Federation's 2014

Environment Award, is designed and formulated to deliver to concrete:

• Higher ultimate flexural (tensile) and compressive strengths;

• Improved abrasion resistance;

• Reduced tendency for corrosion of steel reinforcement;

• Improved concrete workability and effectiveness of water-reducer; and

• Reduced cracks from concrete shrinkage.
