Kalmatron is an environmentally friendly concrete admixture that provides numerous benefits: it reduces cement, water, rebound, and exothermic heat in concrete while increasing yield, durability, and the workable life of concrete. It produces high-performance concrete using Type I cement only. Kalmatron concrete is non-toxic, non-flammable, and eliminates the need for other admixtures. It creates concrete with improved properties in a more sustainable way.

4. Reduce Cement
• You can reduce the cement in the mix by
up to 40%, depending on the mix design,
while obtaining the same psi.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Smooth Concrete with Less Water

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. Nozzlemen Love Kalmatron

14. Above-ground or Under-ground

15. 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.

16. This jobsite is in the middle of the Mojave Desert

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. Increased Yield
• Kalmatron increases yield by 8-14%.

20. 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.

21. Non-Toxic, Non-Flammable and
Non-Explosive
• Kalmatron
is as safe
to use as
regular
cement.

22. Kalmatron Greatly Increases
Concrete Durability
• Which is why they use it in Napa Wine Caves.

23. 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.

24. 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.

25. Increased Durability – Example
Ocean Pier in Australia
• Before Kalmatron • After Kalmatron

26. 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.)

27. 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.

28. 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.

29. Multitude of “Green” Benefits
Which is why the California LADWP 200 mile water
aqueduct is being repaired using Kalmatron concrete.
