Water Reducers (Superplasticizers)
Improve concrete workability while reducing water content.
Construction Chemicals
Engineered for Strength & Workability
Construction Chemicals
Concrete admixtures are liquids or powders which are added to the concrete during mixing in small quantities. The dosage is usually defined based on the cement content (expressed as a percentage by weight of cement or %bwc).
Concrete admixtures have a significant impact on the fresh and/or hardened concrete properties. Admixtures can act chemically and/or physically on the cement hydration.
Key Features
01
Retarders
Delay concrete setting time for easier placement in hot weather.
Accelerators
Speed up setting and early strength development of concrete.
Air-Entraining Admixtures
Enhance durability and freeze-thaw resistance with microscopic air bubbles.
Corrosion Inhibitors
Protect reinforcing steel from corrosion and extend concrete life.
Integral Waterproofing Admixtures
Reduce water penetration and improve concrete durability.
Shotcrete Admixtures
Enhance the performance of sprayed concrete applications.
Viscosity Modifying Admixtures (VMA)
Improve concrete stability while reducing segregation and bleeding.
Block & Precast Admixtures
Increase strength, finish, and production efficiency of precast products.
Benefits
Improves workability without adding extra water
Controls setting time for hot or cold weather
Increases ultimate strength and reduces permeability
Enhances long-term durability and chemical resistance
Reduces thermal cracking by controlling hydration heat
Applications We Serve
Concrete admixtures are chemical liquids or powders added to concrete during mixing to alter its properties, such as improving workability, adjusting setting time, increasing strength, or enhancing durability.
