Results for tag: "Construction Additives"

Construction additives are materials used to enhance the performance of construction materials such as concrete, mortar, and grout. These additives are used to improve the properties of the material, such as workability, strength, durability, and water resistance. They are also used to reduce the cost of construction and to improve the quality of the finished product. Common types of construction additives include admixtures, accelerators, retarders, waterproofing agents, and air-entraining agents. Admixtures are used to modify the properties of concrete, such as workability, strength, and durability. Accelerators are used to reduce the setting time of concrete, while retarders are used to increase the setting time. Waterproofing agents are used to improve the water resistance of concrete, while air-entraining agents are used to improve the workability of concrete. Some of the major companies in the construction additives market include BASF, Sika, Fosroc, Dow, and W.R. Grace. Show Less Read more
