A graphene-based admixture that enhances concrete performance at low dosages. By improving cement hydration and microstructure, it delivers measurable gains in strength, durability, and long-term lifecycle performance — without changing mix designs or workflows.
Accelerates early strength development, improving construction productivity, enabling faster stripping and cycling, and mitigating early strength limitations associated with SCM-rich mixes.
Reduces dependence on cement—the primary cost and carbon driver—while supporting low-carbon concrete objectives.
Creates a denser, more resilient concrete matrix with improved resistance to moisture ingress, chemical attack and freeze–thaw damage—helping structures perform longer in demanding environments.
Improves overall mix efficiency by enabling higher SCM utilization and reducing conservative overdesign practices.
Reduces embodied carbon per unit of concrete, strengthening environmental positioning and increasing relevance for customers with Scope 3 reduction objectives.

Surface Enhanced graphene nanoparticles disperse throughout the cement paste, providing a high-surface-area, well-distributed platform that interacts with pore solution and cement grains.
These particles act as “active seeds,” increasing nucleation sites for hydration products (e.g., C-S-H), which accelerates early hydration kinetics and increases early strength gain.
Faster, more uniform hydrate growth refines pore structure and the ITZ, producing a denser, better-connected microstructure that translates into higher early-age compressive strength.
A major real-world application for Genable™ Concrete in one of London’s most visible commercial development districts.
The project is part of a broader industry effort to advance low-carbon and next-generation concrete technologies for permanent construction works. Genable™ Concrete was evaluated as a solution to help reduce embodied carbon while maintaining the strength, durability, and workability required for major urban construction.
Canary Wharf is a demanding environment for construction innovation. Materials must meet strict performance standards, integrate with established supply chains, and satisfy the expectations of developers, engineers, contractors, and concrete producers. Genable™ Concrete’s role in this project demonstrates its ability to perform in a highly specified, real-world setting.
By supporting lower-carbon concrete without sacrificing performance, Genable™ Concrete helps address one of the construction industry’s biggest challenges: reducing the environmental impact of concrete while preserving the reliability that modern infrastructure requires.
One North Quay highlights the potential for Genable™ Concrete to move from individual project validation into broader adoption across large-scale commercial construction.
This project provided a high-profile demonstration of Genable™ Concrete in structural concrete.
The project was designed to showcase how graphene-enhanced concrete can support stronger and lower-carbon construction without compromising structural performance. Different floors of the building used different concrete approaches, creating a real-world comparison between conventional concrete, Genable™-enhanced concrete, and lower-carbon concrete incorporating Genable™ technology.
The ground floor was constructed using a standard control mix. On the second floor, Genable™ Concrete was added to the control mix and delivered a 24% increase in 28-day compressive strength. On the third floor, the mix design reduced cementitious material by 14%, incorporated Genable™ Concrete, and still achieved a 2% increase in 28-day compressive strength.
These results demonstrated two important benefits. First, Genable™ Concrete can materially improve strength in a standard concrete mix. Second, it can enable meaningful reductions in cementitious material while maintaining – and even modestly improving – 28-day strength performance.
The project showed how Genable™ Concrete can help the construction industry reduce embodied carbon while continuing to meet demanding engineering requirements. It also served as an important proof point for the use of graphene-enhanced materials in structural building applications.
Universal Matter’s Genable™ Concrete was used in the construction of 15 silage bunkers in Burgessville, Ontario, marking one of the company’s first commercial concrete deployments.
Agricultural concrete structures face demanding service conditions. Silage bunkers are exposed to heavy equipment loads, continuous use, moisture, and acidic environments created by stored feed. These conditions can accelerate concrete degradation, making durability and long-term performance essential.
For this project, Genable™Concrete was incorporated into approximately 4,500 m³ of concrete across both floors and walls. The mix design enabled a 15% reduction in cement while maintaining the required strength targets for the structure, including 30 MPa concrete for floors and 25 MPa concrete for walls.
The result was a lower-carbon concrete solution designed to improve durability in a challenging agricultural environment. By reducing cement content while enhancing resistance to acid exposure, Genable™ Concrete demonstrated its ability to deliver practical performance benefits in real-world construction.
This project highlights Genable™ Concrete’s value in applications where durability, sustainability, and cost-effective performance all matter.
