Trinic TEC10 is a multi-component powdered admixture formulated to simplify the production of ultra-high performance GFRC (Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete), Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC), and other advanced cementitious mixes. By combining polymer enhancement with specialized water-reducing and anti-foaming agents, TEC10 eliminates the need for juggling multiple admixtures at different dosages—making it easier to achieve high-strength, dense, and colour-rich concrete. Whether you’re looking to improve acid and stain resistance, reduce pinholes, or prevent warpage and shrinkage cracking, TEC10 provides the performance boost modern GFRC and UHPC applications demand.

Key Features & Benefits

  1. All-In-One Admixture
    • Multi-Component Blend: Consolidates multiple admixtures into a single powdered product for simplified dosing.
    • Powdered Polymer: Eliminates shipping/handling issues associated with liquid polymers, such as foaming, mould, and winter freeze.
  2. Enhanced Strength & Durability
    • High UV-Stable Micro Polymer: Designed explicitly for GFRC, UHPC, and RPC, ensuring superior internal matrix integrity.
    • Reduced Capillary Porosity: Produces a denser, acid- and stain-resistant concrete—ideal for exposed or high-traffic surfaces.
  3. Improved Workability & Finish
    • Faster, More Consistent Mixing: Less chance of cement clumps, even in non-ideal mixers, leading to homogeneous batches.
    • Pinhole Reduction: Achieves smoother surfaces with fewer voids, enhancing visual appeal.
    • Better Colour “Pop”: Improves dispersion, intensity, and stability of pigments.
  4. Less Manual Intervention
    • No 7-Day Wet Cure: Eliminates extended curing processes while maintaining high performance.
    • Helps Prevent Warpage & Curling: Maintains dimensional stability in thin-section applications.
  5. Comprehensive ASTM Compliance
    • Meets ASTM C-494 Type S: Confidence in standardized, high-quality performance across projects.
    • Flexible Dose Range: Standard 3% of cementitious weight (up to 4% if required) or 2% for traditional wet-cast mixes.

Recommended Usage & Dosage

  • GFRC & UHPC: Dose at 3% of total cementitious content.
  • Higher Demand: Increase up to 4% for more demanding mixes or severe conditions.
  • Wet-Cast Concrete: Use 2% of the cementitious content for conventional cast applications.

Temperature & Curing Guidelines

  1. Optimal Batch Temperatures
    • Below 21°C: Maintains workable open time.
    • Do Not Exceed 60°C: Avoid overheating during curing to preserve mix integrity.
  2. Moisture Retention
    • Cover with Plastic: Helps manage moisture, prevents warpage, reduces shrinkage cracking, and aids strength development.
  3. Admixture Pairings
    • Trinic Hydration Stabiliser: Slows initial set times if needed.
    • Trinic Stage II Accelerator: Speeds up early and ultimate strength gains, especially in cooler environments.

Got any question?

Browse through our frequently asked questions to find answers on everything from mould preparation and casting techniques to finishing and long-term maintenance.

Australia’s warm and, in many regions, coastal climate necessitates adjustments during manufacturing. High temperatures can accelerate hydration, so controlled curing environments—such as covering pieces with plastic to retain moisture—are essential. Additionally, lower water-to-cement ratios and carefully selected admixtures help mitigate rapid evaporation and ensure that GFRC develops its designed strength and durability.

Manufacturers address these challenges by:

  • Using precision mixing equipment to achieve a uniform blend and ensure proper fibre distribution.
  • Fine-tuning spray parameters (such as pressure, nozzle design and technique) to avoid voids, pinholes and surface defects.
  • Regular maintenance of equipment and continuous operator training.
  • Adjusting admixture dosages as required to optimise workability and adhesion.

Future trends include increased automation—such as robotic spraying and digital mould design—as well as a greater focus on sustainable practices (e.g. incorporating recycled materials and eco-friendly admixtures). Advances in fibre treatment technology and computer-aided manufacturing are enabling more complex, custom-designed panels. Ongoing research is continually refining mix designs and curing methods to better suit Australia’s diverse environmental conditions.

GFRC is a composite product that combines high‐quality cement, fine aggregates, polymers and alkali‐resistant glass fibres – all premixed to the correct proportions. Its high strength‐to‐weight ratio, durability and capacity for being cast in thin, custom shapes make it ideal for creating stylish and long-lasting benches and tables for both indoor and outdoor use.

GFRC manufacturers must comply with Australian building codes and standards relating to precast concrete, structural performance and safety. This means that production processes, material testing and installation methods are stringently monitored and documented. Close collaboration with local certifying bodies ensures that GFRC products meet all necessary performance and regulatory requirements.

With our premix product, all the ingredients are already proportioned for optimal strength and workability. This means you can focus on preparing your moulds and executing a neat cast rather than measuring raw materials.

Moulds for benches and tables can be constructed from high-density foam, melamine, or even silicone for more intricate designs. It is essential that the mould is smooth, watertight and well supported. Pre-treat the interior with a quality release agent to ensure that the cured GFRC can be removed cleanly.
