Overview
OPTEVA® quality improvers, often called performance enhancers, allow cement manufacturers to achieve superior cement quality without increasing costs. Additionally increased cement performance can reduce the clinker factor, allowing lower overall production costs and reduced environmental impact (lower CO2 emissions and energy consumption) while maintaining compliance with target performance and regulations.

The OPTEVA® CBA® series of additives is a new concept in grinding aids - significantly different from any previous GCP product for the cement industry. The difference is that it is a “Grinding Aid Plus”. OPTEVA® CBA® additives offer all the benefits of traditional grinding aids, such as increased grinding efficiency and cement flowability. In addition, they offer a unique ability to improve cement strengths which might otherwise be deficient due to mechanical, physical or chemical shortcomings.
- Increases grinding efficiency
- Increases workability (flow) of cement mortars and concretes
- Increases cement flowability and reduces pack set or “silo set” of cements
- Increases early and long-term compressive strengths
- Reduces cost of cement production
The OPTEVA® ESE® series of additives, which involve a newly developed modified alkanolamine, are available for use to enhance the early strength of cement. Unlike other early strength enhancers, ESE cement additives provide their performance benefit without the use of chloride or thiocyanate ions.
- Increases early strength of cement without the addition of chlorides
OPTEVA® TDA® additives are aqueous compositions of grinding aids with set-accelerating, water-reducing, and strength-enhancing compounds, all carefully controlled and accurately blended for constant quality and optimum performance.
- Increases early and long-term compressive strengths
- Reduces cost of cement production
- Increases grinding efficiency
- Increases workability (flow) of cement mortars and concretes
- Increases cement flowability
