Cement additives (mortars and concretes)
This category covers everything necessary to modify and optimize the properties of cement both in its fresh and hardened state.
We have a complete range of:
- Setting accelerators to shorten hardening times, such as sodium thiocyanate, which we dilute in our facilities
- Setting retarders: to prolong manageability
- Plasticizers: water reducers to improve fluidity and resistance,
- Fluidizers: rheology enhancers
- Air entrainers: micro-air incorporators for lightweight mortars
- Defoamers: de-aerators that prevent unwanted bubbles
- Thixotropic additives: confer anti-sagging stability such as redispersible polymers, which also improve adhesion and water resistance.
- Raw materials for the production of water repellents, which give water-repellent properties to cementitious materials.
Plaster additives (plaster and boards)
These additives help calcined gypsum achieve the desired characteristics of slow or fast setting, controlled density and resistance, both in prefabricated products (laminated gypsum boards) and in construction plasters.
We have specific additives for gypsum-based systems:
- Special setting retarders for gypsum
- Air entrainers/foaming agents to lighten and improve insulation
- Dispersants to improve workability
- Setting initiators that adjust the hardening time.
- Rheology modifiers
- Binders
- Additives to improve fire resistance such as boric acid.
Epoxy and polyurethane systems
These products allow the formulation of resin systems for structural adhesives, high chemical resistance coatings, epoxy mortars for anchors, etc., adapting the reactivity and final properties according to your needs.
In applications where high-performance resins are required, we offer:
- Epoxy resins of different types.
- Hardeners (curing agents) both amine and anhydride
- Reactive diluents for epoxy (modifying monomers that adjust viscosity without losing mechanical performance).
Pigments and toners
- Pigments high-quality inorganics: iron oxides of various colors – red, black, yellow – and other pigments to color cements, concretes, road marking paints, etc.
- Matting agents or matting agents (for example, ammonium bifluorides) to adjust the gloss or surface finish in coatings.
The color consistency and weather stability of our pigments guarantee optimal results in architectural and industrial applications.
Agglomerating agents and binders
- Alkaline silicates (sodium and potassium) that act as chemical agglomerating agents or binders for certain construction formulations (e.g. in soil treatments, consolidants, or in the manufacture of special cements).
- Organic binders for cement such as crude glycerin and vegetable glycerin (which improve the plasticity and cohesion of special cementitious mixtures).
Solvents, cleaners and neutralizers of NOx gases
Our catalog includes:
- Technical solvents relevant for construction formulations, such as benzyl alcohol, formalin in various concentrations, among others.
- Descalers (acids such as hydrochloric, phosphoric) for cleaning and preparation of surfaces or equipment on site
- Deflocculants (e.g. sodium tripolyphosphate) used in the dispersion of fillers and pigments. These auxiliary products ensure that we offer a complete kit of chemicals, from formulation to industrial cleaning and maintenance.
- NOx gas neutralizers such as ammonia for both SCR and SNCR processes
(Note: While we also cover environmental treatment products related to construction – anticorrosives for circuits, biocides for water, coagulants and pH regulators for effluents – these are detailed in our Environment section. Consult us if you require an integrated environmental chemistry solution in your construction operations.)
Bio Products
Anti-adherent agents for concrete:
- range with various working temperature ranges (from -25°C)
- different viscosities
- suitable for all types of surfaces (including porous ones)
- horizontal and vertical application
- biodegradable
- ECOLABEL
Anti-adherent agents for asphalt:
- replacement of diesel (replicates its solvent properties without polluting and without being dangerous)
- withstands high temperatures
Its origin is from renewable sources and they are ideal for companies that want to leave a green footprint in their environment, protecting their employees, partners and the environment.
