Reduce Cement• You can reduce the cement in the mix by

up to 40%, depending on the mix design,

while obtaining the same psi.

Reduce Cement - Details• The densification of the

concrete structure by

increasing the cementitious

part, increases the

compressive strength.

Kalmatron products physically

and ionically change concrete

into “Artificial rock”, increasing

its psi, among many other High

Performance benefits.

• The gradated solubility of

Kalmatron components allows

it to get consequential

reactions, from 1st through the

4th processes, without delays.

The four processes include:

• 1. Dissolution of the

cement grain by speeded

hydration;

• 2. Oxidation of the

metal containing

elements;

• 3. Colloidation of the

free molecules of water;

and,

• 4. Stabilization of the

gel of the cement paste.

Obtain High Performance Concrete

using Type I Cement

• Kalmatron performs best when using Portland

Type I cement, resulting in enormous energy

savings for cement manufacturers.

Obtain High Performance Concrete

using Type I Cement – Details

• Since type I cement requires the least amount of

physical gradation and heating at the cement plant, an

extremely high energy savings is accomplished when

using Kalmatron. The property of Kalmatron

admixture to decay-hydrate cement grains results in a

cement particle size reduction that allows it to replace

Micro-Cements. Mixing Kalmatron into Portland Type

I cement obtains maximum volume of cement particles

with diameter up to 25µ, where dominating median

size is at 5µ to 15µ. The same cement without

Kalmatron has a dominating median size of 40µ - 60µ.

Reduce Water by 10-30%

• Kalmatron reduces water in the mix design

by 10-30%, and eliminates the need for

most “curing” as the cement is already

hydrated through speeded hydration.

Reduce Water by 10-30% - Details

• The standard volume

of hydration increases

in speed by

weakening the

molecular tensions of

water, with positively

charged artificial

minerals. This

reaction results in:

• Reduction of water needed.

• Maximum hydration by the

Kalmatron components

achieves low slump and

high workability.

• Retardation of the

shrinkage dynamic in the

first few days.

• Reliable “raw compaction”

of the concrete mix.

• Smooth, pumpable concrete

with a 2 ½ to 4” slump.

Smooth Concrete with Less Water

Reduce Shotcrete Rebound• Kalmatron concrete has excellent adhesion.

• Excellent Adhesion means that you can build higher in

one pass with less rebound (5% or less).

• Less rebound means less waste.

Reduce Clogs in Hose/Pump

• With Kalmatron in the mix, it is no longer necessary to

add any additional fibers, which have a tendency to

clog the hose.

• Kalmatron concrete provides you with low slump, yet

high workability, pumpability and finish ability.

• Kalmatron concrete needs no hydro-thermal curing,

takes less labor time for vibration and finishing jobs.

• The reliable raw compaction and plasticity of

Kalmatron concrete was called “the creamy concrete

effect” by our clients.

Extend Workable Life

• As long as Kalmatron is in the mix, and

that mix is kept in motion, the concrete will

remain workable. The latest documented

time is seven (7) hours, (Nicaragua), from

initial mixing to actual pouring on a jobsite.

• The Extended Workable Life greatly

reduces waste from “old concrete” that has

sat in the mixer too long.

This jobsite is in the middle of the Mojave Desert

Reduced Exothermic Heat• Kalmatron chemically grinds down the cement

and speeds the hydration process.

• The hydration process speeds up because of the decay-hydration reaction which weakens the molecular tensions of water by using positively charged minerals. (This reaction is similar to the function of magnetized water.)

• Kalmatron provides a stable residual magnetic effect. This reaction results in attenuation of exothermic heat by 30-50%. Reduction of exothermic heat has many practical benefits, in addition to being environmentally friendly.

Reduces Exothermic Heat• Kalmatron provides stable reduction of water to

cement ratio of 0.385 – 0.417.

• Kalmatron results in retardation of shrinkage

dynamic in the first few days.

• Kalmatron concrete requires no hydro-thermal

curing.

• Kalmatron concrete requires no cooling devises

or supplementary materials for massive

applications, i.e. mass pours.

• Kalmatron concrete requires no other chemicals

to help control shrinkage reactions.

Increased Yield

• Kalmatron increases yield by 8-14%.

Increased Yield - Details

• Numerous mineralogical sediments become the centers of crystallization of cementitious solutions, with thickening of solutions around those centers…like shells. Kalmatron produces a thickening of the water, or the water-dissolved solutions. Since most of the grains are hydrated and the interporous liquid-vapor is represented by natural mineralogical cementitious solutions, you obtain an ordered porosity in a very homogeneous, cementitious concrete. The speed of colloidation is slow and the entire process may take decades.

Non-Toxic, Non-Flammable and

Non-Explosive

• Kalmatron

is as safe

to use as

regular

cement.

Kalmatron Greatly Increases

Concrete Durability• Which is why they use it in Napa Wine Caves.

Increased Durability - Details• The absence of un-hydrated cement grains and un-

dissolved minerals, including free lime, enables this High

Resistant concrete to withstand any type of corrosion.

Increased Durability - Details• Kalmatron concrete’s

resistance to environmental

conditions is created by non-

reactive concrete

embodiments and generic gas-

liquid impermeability.

• These “rocks”, made from

Kalmatron concrete are

constantly exposed to chilled

salt water – after 8 years, there

is no evident corrosion.

Increased Durability – ExampleOcean Pier in Australia

• Before Kalmatron • After Kalmatron

Increased Durability = Less Repairs• Kalmatron concrete is longer lasting and very durable, which

greatly reduces repair needs.

• The picture below is of a wine cave in desperate need of

Kalmatron!

(By the way,

the cave

DID receive

help from

Kalmatron.)

No Carbon-Dioxide Gases• Gasses are produced during the cement hydration

process. As the gasses are released, they create pores that mark the passage of the gasses through the still-plastic concrete.

• Carbon dioxide is normally produced from Portland concrete, and must build up to a certain “critical mass” before it is able to rise to the surface of the concrete. This results in large, macro pores.

• Kalmatron Portland concrete produces Acetylene gas, which is released as soon as it is formed, resulting in a much smaller gas bubble, and thus smaller, micro pores.

• Normal concrete contains 70% macro pores and 30% micro pores.

• Kalmatron concrete contains approximately 3% macro pores and 97% micro pores, making Kalmatron concrete far more resistant to water ingress.

Eliminates Need for Other

Admixtures

• Kalmatron infuses Portland Type I Cement

with more than 29 benefits, thereby

negating the need for a multitude of

additional products.

• Kalmatron reduces the need for additional

chemicals in the concrete mix, thereby

reducing the amount of these chemicals

that we put into our environment.

aqueduct is being repaired using Kalmatron concrete.
