Overview
There are a number of factors that define good cement. Does it set within the time desired? Is it easy to shape and work with? Does it dry without cracking or shrinking? For cement manufacturers, these factors will determine the overall desirability of their product. We offer a wide range of liquid additives that let manufacturers create quality cement, whilst remaining compliant with a broad range of regulations. We deliver cement functional additives for water reduction, workability, chromium reduction and air entrainment.

The HYDROPHOBE® series of additives are multi-purpose, second generation additives to be interground during the manufacture of prepared masonry cement, to entrain air, impart water repellency, control setting time, extend board life and improve workability.
- Imparts superior water repellency and workability
- Extended board life
- Single material addition
- Tailor-made formulations
- Economical use cost
The HYDROPHOBE® product line is designed for the economical production of high quality masonry cements and mortars.
RDA™ is a chemical additive to be interground during the manufacture of Portland and blended cements to retard the initial and final set of cement pastes and mortars.
- RDA controls effectively the setting process and permits significant extension of the board life.
- RDA is used wherever a delay in setting time will insure sufficient delivery, placement, vibration or compaction time
SYNCHRO® 100 is a patent pending liquid additive that has been formulated around stannous sulphate
- Exceptional cement storage stability
- Ease of use
- Liquid Additive
- No staining or retardation
- Compatible with cement additives and concrete admixtures
SYNCHRO® 100 is used to reduce the level of soluble chromium(VI) ions present when cement is mixed with water.
