- DARAGRIND® products: Developed to grind a variety of minerals, such as limestone, calcium carbonate, silica and quicklime.
Cementing A Better Quality Product
Our liquid quality improvers enhance the grinding process, improve quality, and allow for the addition of lower-cost, environmentally-friendly materials to cement.
- OPTEVA® ESE® products: Increase early compressive strength and are-chloride free. Particularly suited for the activation of Pozzolans and Slag.
- OPTEVA® CBA® products: Particularly suited for limestone cements, these boost compressive strength at medium to later stages. They also improve mortar flow and reduce concrete water demands.
- Customized additives are available to meet the needs of individual plants and cements, such as:
- Higher strengths at all ages
- Setting time acceleration or retardation
- Reduction of water demand and increase of slump retention in concrete
- Reduction of the carbon footprint of cement
Functional Additives for a More Functional Process
Our functional additives portfolio features SYNCHRO® liquid cement additives for chromium reduction as well as TYTRON®, HYDROPHOBE® and AIRALON® additives for high-performance masonry cements.
