Brands in Cement & Concrete Additives

ETONIS® is WACKER’s brand for polymer-based concrete admixtures. Targeted for the concrete industry which values effectiveness and sustainability, ETONIS® yields a technology advance by combining outstanding durability and excellent adhesion properties.

Mailose™ MP series is Hydroxyporpyl Methyl Cellulose. It is widely used in drymix mortar industry. Could be soluble in water and form the transparent solution.  As the important additives in mortar, Hydroxyproypl methyl Cellulose could increase the water retention, increase the workability and increase open time etc.

Valida contains the smallest component of cellulose – cellulose fibrils. Dispersed in water, cellulose fibrils form an extensive network through hydrogen bonding and mechanical entanglement. The formed network stabilises particles in suspension and oil-in-water emulsions without an emulsifier.

Zacsils are solutions of a soluble glass that we dissolve in water. They are available in many different forms and concentrations or ratios. The ratio of silica and potassium oxide, which will vary depending on your desired application.

The Naxaf® naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensates are used primarily as dispersants in a wide variety of industrial applications.

Micron Talc is a chemically inert mineral that assist to improve reinforcement and barrier properties of adhesive film. It gives better dimensional stability and shrink resistance in putties and joint compounds. Talc modifies the rheological properties, increases the chemical resistance and weatherability.

BIO-TERGE® is an anionic surfactant providing excellent viscosity, foam characteristics and mildness. It is an ideal surfactant for a variety of HI&I cleaning and personal care applications, agricultural formulations, and construction products used for concrete bases, firefighting foams and dust control.

SILFOAM® is WACKER’s innovative brand for smart foam control products. It covers silicone-based integrated system solutions for regulatingfoam-intensive applications, and thereby optimizing processes and end products. SILFOAM® foam-control systems are the result of a continuous process of applied R&D. SILFOAM® is carefully tested for its compatibility and effectiveness in the customer's formulations, thereby avoiding overfoaming in advance.

Tamol® grades are used as dispersants that offer specialized properties making them ideal for improving electroplating processes. Tamol® product range of BASF, BTC offers products for stabilization and dispersion of aqueous dispersions and emulsions as well as scale inhibitors and inhibitors for dye transfer.

Water-based pigment dispersion for various use in architectural paints, synthetic detergents, cement tinting, textile, tapes, and other coatings.

Often, fillers have to meet very special requirements. In such cases not only good dispersion characteristics are of importance, but also mechanical and dynamic properties of the final products. Improved electrical insulation resistance, better aging and fluid resistance in many materials and improved anticorrosion properties have a crucial role to play in many areas. At Hoffmann Mineral, we developed Aktisil to meet such customer requirements. This special filler is made by treating the surface of Neuburg Siliceous Earth with chemical agents, mostly silanes. The reaction by-products (e.g. alcohol) formed during the manufacture of the different products of Aktisil are largely removed right away during the process. The coupling reaction fixes the silane to the surface of the filler. Any undesirable side-effects that can occur during mixing by direct addition of the silane are virtually eliminated. So the customer can choose from a complete product range of many different types of Aktisil. This is the result of many years of in-house experience and of close cooperation with customers. Know-how for users’ benefit.

NACCONOL® is an anionic surfactant providing superior detergency, foaming, wetting and emulsification properties. It is used in household, institutional and industrial detergents,

FoamStar® products are used as defoamers. BTC’s FoamStar® defoamers suppress and destroy foam and its negative effects during inks and printing applications. By removing or inhibiting air bubbles they are important process aids throughout the production as well as the applications process. Manufacturers benefit from foam-free production processes by reaching their desired results much quicker.

VINNAPAS® is WACKER’s brand name for a versatile range of polymer-based dispersions, powders and resins that are used to improve the properties and performance of products in a wide range of industries. The portfolio has been continuously improved and optimized since the 1950s. Thus, VINNAPAS® products set the standard and are leading in many applications.

WACKER’s PRIMIS® brand covers specialty high-value dispersions based on high-performance acrylate copolymers, as well as a range of high-value additives. PRIMIS® enables customers to develop products with unique properties that are otherwise difficult to achieve.

Talc is mined on every continent. The best quality Talcs enjoy worldwide markets. These are the only Talcs that CB Chrystal Co. sells. Different grades and qualities provide a variety of properties that are of use by many industries.

Flowlube C40 is an aqueous grade of wax emulsion.

MetaPlast 85 is a reactive ultrafine white alumino-silicate pozzolan formed by calcining very pure hydrous kaolin. Unlike other natural pozzolans, metaplast is water processed to remove unreactive impurities producing an almost 100 percent reactive material. It helps to increase compressive & flexural strength, providing resistance to chemical attack, reducing permeability substantially, maintaining high whiteness, reducing spot-etching, cracking & reducing mottling.

Michem Dispersion Urethanes are water based polyurethane dispersions that can enhance toughness, scratch resistance, water resistance and flexibility of coatings. Michem Dispersion Urethanes are useful for industrial wood, concrete, and metal substrates.
