What are Construction Chemical Additives?
Construction Chemicals are the chemical compounds used in construction activities such as residential, non-residential or non-building. Construction chemicals can also be termed as specialty chemicals. These compounds can be used either in existing construction projects to speed up the work or in new construction projects to impart durability and strengthen the structures. Some of the chemical additives help in minimizing the quantities of cement and water used in the construction. These compounds impart chemical as well as physical properties in applications such as cross-linking or phase change. Construction chemicals are essential for high quality concrete and for improving the concrete performance. These chemicals also increase the lifespan of the construction work and provides additional protection from environmental hazards.
Construction Chemical be further segmented into concrete additives, water proofing agents, leveling agents, sealants, adhesives, grout, and mortar. Concrete additives are kind of additives which are added to construction chemicals, which helps in enhancing the concreteness of the chemical properties as well as physical properties. Concrete additives such as plasticizers, super plasticizers, accelerating agents, retarding agents and water proofing additives are used extensively as they provide flexibility to the designers to modify and to enhance the physical concreteness.
What are major Type of Construction Chemical Additives?
According to some market analysis concrete additives is dominating the market, which is followed by leveling agents. Though the manufacturing of leveling agents product is more than water proofing agents in number but market share for waterproofing agent is more than leveling agent. Construction industry is currently looking forward to onboard the use of sustainable product. Mold release agents are the perfect product for such purpose, mold release helps to prevent adhesion of newly placed concrete to forming surface.
Corrosion inhibition is the process to prevent the corrosion to increase the life span of any constructional structure, corrosion inhibitors are develop with such design which helps to make a structure corrosion resilient. Based on some market insights this developed design will increase the market share of construction chemical additive.

Market Research and Market Trends of Construction Chemical Additives:
One of the current trend in construction chemical additives is the inclusion of nanotechnology. The use of nano technology enhances the strength, toughness, flexibility, stability and durability. Hence, the use of nano inclusions for harnessing such properties has attained a wide scope. However, the current studies are confined to laboratory stage. Therefore, a lot more extensive studies are being carried out to make this technology economically viable.
Currently, the consumers are preferring low-odor and easy cleanup water-based products. Thus companies are focusing in the manufacture of better-performing, longer-lasting products and easy to use mixtures. This improvement will boost the value of the construction chemicals market in the forecast period.
The traditional construction methods lead to accumulation of waste products and toxic chemicals which almost take ages to degrade. These contaminants harm the environment. Companies are manufacturing biodegradable construction additives to limit the negative impacts on the environment as they easily breakdown without the release of toxins. The development of this technology is seeking attention all over the world. This technology is predicted to increase the market share for construction chemical market.
