Smart Additives
Graphene additives for concrete and mortars
The new generation of materials for efficient and sustainable construction
Smart Additives is the line of graphene structural additives developed by Graphenano Smart Materials, designed to significantly improve the properties of concrete and mortars in demanding construction projects.
Thanks to the incorporation of graphene-based nanotechnology, these additives enable the creation of construction materials that are stronger, more durable, waterproof and sustainable, while also reducing environmental impact and cement consumption.
What are Smart Additives?
Smart Additives represent the fourth generation of concrete additives. They have been designed, developed and patented after more than six years of R&D by the Graphenano team, in collaboration with leading universities and technology centres.
By ensuring the homogeneous dispersion of functionalised graphene within the cement matrix, these additives act at the nanometric level, enhancing the microstructure of the material and boosting its mechanical, thermal and functional performance.
Advantages of Smart Additives
- Greater structural strength (compression and flexion)
- Reduction of cracks and microcracks
- Lower porosity and increased impermeability
- Improved thermal conductivity
- Reduced cement consumption
- Lower CO₂ emissions
- Bacteriostatic properties
- Enhanced durability and extended service life of structures
Range of Smart Additives
Solid MECHANIC is a line of additives designed with graphene technology for use in ready-mix and plant-produced concrete. Developed for high-performance concretes, it enhances quality, strength, and surface finish.
Solid PRECAST is a graphene-based additive line created for the precast concrete industry. These additives improve quality and production efficiency, reducing costs while maximising concrete performance.
Solid HARD is a line of additives developed with innovative graphene technology for concrete exposed to extreme conditions. Recommended for highly durable concretes with reduced permeability.
Solid SUPPORT is a complementary range of products designed to adjust and optimise the performance of the Smart Additives lines.
Solid DRY is a line of additives designed with graphene technology for the production of semi-dry concrete.
Solid MORTAR is a line of additives developed with advanced graphene technology for mortars, self-levelling compounds, and flooring systems.
Solid FIBER is a fibre line designed to replace or reduce steel reinforcement in fresh concrete. Fully compatible with the entire Smart Additives range.
Sustainable additives for more efficient construction
Smart Additives make it possible to comply with strict environmental regulations and with the decarbonization goals of the construction sector. Thanks to their use:
Less cement is needed per cubic meter.
The carbon footprint of the final material is reduced.
The service life of infrastructures is extended.
A solution designed for sustainable and efficient construction from the outset.
How do graphene additives work?
Graphene acts as a molecular-scale reinforcement structure, creating an internal network that:
Improves the cohesion of the mix.
Fills pores and microcracks.
Strengthens the cement matrix against external agents (moisture, salts, thermal impact).
This action provides concrete with advanced properties without the need to modify traditional construction processes.
Applications of Smart Additives
Graphene-based additives are ideal for:
High-strength structural concrete
Self-leveling and decorative mortars
Industrial flooring
Foundations, tunnels, and demanding infrastructures
Prefabricated construction
Shotcrete and specialized concretes
