Zinc Compounds
Used to protect against corrosion, especially in environments prone to chloride attack.
Read MoreCRACK REDUCING ADMIXTURES
Polypropylene Fibers
Synthetic fibers that reduce shrinkage cracks and enhance the impact resistance of concrete.
Read More
Polyvinyl Alcohol Fibers
A type of fiber used to improve crack resistance and enhance the durability of concrete.
Read More
Calcium Sulfoaluminate
Also used in crack reduction applications due to its expansion properties that counteract shrinkage.
Read MoreWATERPROOFING ADMIXTURES
Silane Siloxane
A surface treatment that penetrates and provides water repellency to concrete, protecting it from moisture.
Read More
Water-Based Polyurethane
Provides a flexible and durable waterproof barrier, suitable for a variety of applications.
