LICENSING

License the platform.
Own your market.

The Equinox® product line is not sold off a shelf. Access is licensed by field of use and by territory, so the companies that move first keep the advantage they build.

The simple version: you skip the heavy R&D. A license adds validated nanotechnology to your capabilities today, so your team focuses on go-to-market and implementation of premium designs while Admix carries the formulation, the product, and the protocols.

THE VALUE EQUATION

Two-sided margin. Never savings-only.

Input margin

  • Less cement on high-cement, high-strength mixes, where the subtraction is worth the most
  • Less water at equivalent flow
  • Lower defect-claims exposure: one paste system replaces multi-product layering
  • Lower CO2 per yard, as a consequence

Sale margin

  • High-early-strength lines competitors cannot readily produce at their cost
  • Accelerated-cure and performance-spec categories with real spec moats
  • Premium pricing earned by performance, defended by the license
  • Differentiation in a commoditized market

Decarbonizing with Carbon® is the consequence, not the pitch.

THE PATH

Five steps to licensed.

01

Qualify

Fit, spec pathway, and how you’d fund Phase 1. A short conversation before anything formal.

02

NDA

Mutual confidentiality on our standard instrument. Then the data package opens.

03

Pilot

Your product, your materials, your control mix — success criteria (CTQs) agreed in writing before the first batch. Your legal team reviews the full license in parallel, so validation day is decision day, not the start of review.

04

License & supply

Field-of-use and territory rights, product, protocols, training, support. Your Phase 1 fee credits in full toward license activation. A committed partner loses nothing.

05

Perform

Minimums keep the lane yours. Exclusivity is earned every year — that’s why it’s worth owning.

How validations get funded

We do not run ad hoc trials. Counterparties commit one of three ways: fund Phase 1, the integration engineering of your own product; pre-commit post-validation volume, a defined book of projects where the Equinox® product line gets specified once performance is locked; or, for system developers with multi-site pipelines, a deposit-backed territorial hold with milestone conversion. Either way, your downside is defined before the first batch: a known fee, agreed criteria, and a clean exit on defined terms if the results miss.

Two ways to pay. You pick.

Model A. One all-in product price. No royalty, no margin disclosure, no audit of your books.

Model B. A lower product price, a share of the margin delta the technology creates, and the option into the carbon co-op.

Operators who want a computable per-unit cost choose A; operators who want the lowest entry price and shared upside choose B.

Model A is available on the Equinox n-Hance® dry lines; liquid programs run the participation model with integration support. Full economics at qualification.

What we never charge.

No capex. No new equipment or retooling. No downtime. No per-seat or data fees. Mix-design and integration support are included in the license.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Before you ask.

Do you sell the additive outright?+

No. We license access and supply Admix-manufactured product. The formulation is a trade secret that is never sold, transferred, or disclosed. That is not a limitation; it is why your license means something.

How do we know it works in our mix?+

You validate it on your materials, against your own control mix, with pass and fail criteria agreed in writing before testing starts. Cured specimens are tested at an accredited independent lab. If it does not clear the bar you helped set, you will know, and so will we. The validation carries a defined exit: if performance misses the agreed criteria, the program concludes there, cleanly, with no further obligation.

Can we get exclusivity?+

Yes, by field of use and territory, tied to performance commitments. First movers in a category can lock their lane, which is why timing matters more here than it usually does. Exclusivity may carry minimum volume commitments, scaled to territory size and field of use.

What does a program cost?+

Programs are structured per field of use: a validation program, product supply, and license terms. Full economics are shared during qualification, before anything is signed. Every counterparty either funds the validation or pre-commits to post-validation revenue; that discipline keeps the pipeline honest in both directions. Before anything is signed you’ll have a one-page value model — your volume, your cement price, our dose — showing cost per unit, savings per unit, and payback, in your numbers. If your CFO can’t rebuild our math, we haven’t earned the meeting.

When does the full site launch?+

The complete brand experience launches in Late 2026. This preview holds the line. Start qualification and you will be first to know, about the site and about everything the site is for.
