Six types of chemicals from one of leading construction chemicals companies in India.

Global construction markets have risen due to the ever-changing lifestyles of people. This demand for new and high-quality buildings, bridges, tunnels, and dams is driving the market, necessitating the ever-increasing demand for new-edge construction chemicals.

Construction chemicals have become an integral part of the construction industry to meet the demand for higher-quality construction materials.

What are Construction Chemicals?

Construction chemicals are chemical formulations used with masonry materials, cement, concrete or other construction materials at the time of construction to hold the construction materials together.

Chemtex Speciality Limited offers the finest quality of concrete admixtures and other types of construction chemicals for a variety of applications.

Superplasticizers (SPs) is a new-gen concrete admixture, also known as high range water reducers, are additives used in making high strength concrete.

Based on a blend of specially selected organic polymers, combining the properties of superplasticizer with high degree of slump retention, high range water reduction and integral cement waterproofing characteristics for concrete.

Corrosion-inhibiting admixtures can significantly reduce maintenance costs of reinforced concrete structures throughout a typical service life

These additives help prevent corrosion by reducing the rate at which chloride ions penetrate into the concrete structure. They do so by forming a protective film on the surface of the steel reinforcing bars.

Water based Concrete Curing Compound speeds up the hardening process of fresh concrete. Also helps reduce shrinkage and cracking.

Mould releasing agents are ready-to-use sprayable shuttering agent liquids to make release properties which come handy when you have materials that are shaped and constructed in moulds.

Without these releasing agents, your mould may become damaged or even break when it is time to remove it. The chemical reactive components give it water proofing and contributes in protecting the formwork. Additionally, it prevents cement matrix adhesion to the mould releasing agent allows air during concrete placing.

Concrete remover chemical is powerful penetrating agents for removing dry hard cement wastes. Cement cleaning chemicals effectively reacts with dry hard cement waste to loosen the bonding strength among them. It replaces the use of corrosive acids.

Concrete Surface Retarder are chemical formulations to slow down the concrete curing processes. They prevent the chemical hardening of concrete surfaces, allowing the cement to be flushed off with a stream of water or removed by scrubbing with a brush.
