FINAL ASTM C494 “S” TEST PROGRAMME RESULTS
HIGHLIGHTS
•
ASTM C494 “S” Test Programme for EdenCrete
TM
, which over a 12 months
period measured the changes in performance of a sta
ndard concrete mix
when EdenCrete
TM
was added, has been successfully completed.
•
The final compressive strength test of concrete, en
riched with 3.5 gallons of
EdenCrete
TM
per cubic yard, continued the earlier trend and sh
owed an
impressive 37% increase in compressive strength at
365 days, compared
with identical concrete of the same age without Ede
nCrete
TM
.
•
Some of the other very positive results that were a
chieved include:
41% increase in compressive strength at 56 days (AS
TM C39)
32% increase in flexural strength at 56 days (ASTM
C78)
22% increase in split tensile strength at 56 days (
ASTM C496)
59% reduction in the rate of abrasion at 90 days (A
STM C105)
39% reduction in shrinkage (ASTM C157)
9.5% increase in freeze/thaw resistance (ASTM C666)
•
The highly successful completion of the ASTM C494 “
S” trial programme is a
major milestone that will enable:
The approval process to continue towards a future a
pproval to use
EdenCrete
TM
on highways by a number of other State Departments
of

2
Transportation in the USA to which Eden has applied
for approval, but
that require the prior completion of the ASTM C494
Programme, and
Assessment of the performance EdenCrete
TM
for possible future use of
EdenCrete
TM
by a range of groups including engineers and archi
tects.
DETAILS
Eden Innovations Limited (“Eden”) (ASX: EDE) is ple
ased to announce the successful
completion of the ASTM C494 “S” testing programme f
or EdenCrete
TM
enriched
concrete that have been undertaken by Eden Innovati
ons in Colorado over the past
twelve months, to test EdenCrete
TM
in accordance with the standards and the
procedures of ASTM C494 “S”, producing extremely po
sitive results.
Results
The details of all the results achieved during the
12 months trial period are set out in
Figure 1 below.
Figure 1.
Major Milestone
The completion of the ASTM C494 “S” trial programme
is another major milestone for
EdenCrete
TM
, which will facilitate:
The continuation of the approval process, towards a
future approval to use
EdenCrete
TM
on highways, by other State Departments of Transpo
rtation
in the
USA to which Eden has already applied for approval,
but which first require the
completion of the ASTM C494 Programme, in addition
to satisfaction of other
later conditions; and

3
Assessment of the performance of EdenCrete
TM
for its possible future use by a
range of groups including engineers and architects.
Conclusion
The highly successful completion of the ASTM C494 “
S” trial programme is another
major milestone in Eden’s efforts to accelerate its
already significant progress towards
achieving a longer term goal of broad penetration b
y EdenCrete
TM
into the huge US
concrete and infrastructure market
