Gain peace-of-mind with high-strength, highly-effective water reducers to meet any and all reduction requirements. With lower water-to-cement ratios and more complete cement hydration, these additives yield increased compressive and flexural strength.
Your Project Challenges Our Concrete Answers
Every project has its own challenges, which is why we’ve developed a comprehensive line of concrete construction technologies, materials and services to suit any and every need. From precast to ready mix and more, our solutions are stronger, and more sustainable with reduced production cycles, energy costs and material waste.

To create smooth and flat slabs with increased load capacity, developers and end-users count on our patented DUCTILCRETE® engineered system for concrete slabs and paving. The combination of stamped engineered drawings, admixtures and fibers enable the production of concrete floors that are high performing and easy to maintain. Trained licensees install and finish the DUCTILCRETE® interior slabs and paving according to the project specific slab design and project requirements.
Solving Hardscapes & Masonry’s
Toughest Challenges
Most hardscape producers battle efflorescence on a daily basis. With OPTEC® admixtures, the end product is strong and durable and repels water.
Additionally, our DRY-BLOCK® system has been successfully used in thousands of concrete masonry structures to provide unsurpassed moisture control. It is the most widely specified integral water repellent system on the market to address moisture penetration of CMU (concrete masonry units) and mortar.
Our variety of admixtures help produce high-quality, durable concrete products. The QUANTEC® line of admixtures improves machinability and plasticity, while also promoting greater compaction for higher concrete density and compressive strength.
