Brands in Cement & Concrete Additives

SP2Hybrid products have between 1&2 layers and very high surface area, which translates to a high performing product. SurgePower Materials sustainably manufactures high purity graphene from the cassava plant. Our process is extremely energy efficient and does not involve any toxic chemicals. SurgePower can scale our proprietary process to meet large demands from customers.

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.

Trilon® is a broad product range of high-performance and innovative complexing agents, also known as chelating agents. Trilon® chelating agents belong mainly to the class of amino carboxylates which are organic complexing agents. Chelating agents are able to prevent the deleterious impact of metal ions in technical applications. The presence of free metal ions, such as iron, copper, calcium, manganese, and further other metals, reduces the efficiency or quality of the product due to their catalytic activity, precipitation, or increased microbial growth. Trilon® chelating agents are applied in the manufacture of pulp- and paper, electronic or chemical surface treatment processes, bleaching processes in the textile/leather industry, and versatile chemical processes where metal ions can negatively impact the process.

BRIOMICA® is a dry-ground ultra-white mica powder.

Highly stable alcohol based pigment dispersions suitable for dry-erase white board markers, inkjet inks, concrete, and construction applications.

SYNTRAN® is a modified-acrylic copolymer with improved flexibility, which is very suitable as a polymer for leather applications and glove coatings. Formulations based on SYNTRAN® for various applications are available upon request.

Dual Mix is High Performance thinset mortar for residential to light commercial applications. Packaged in 50 pound paper bags and available in gray and white.

Baxxodur® curing agents are available as cycloaliphatic amines and as polyether amines. They are used as hardeners in the formulation of polyurethane composites. Depending on the requirements BTC’s curing agents allow long work-life (1-2 days), fast cure at elevated temperatures (100 – 180°C), excellent high temperature properties and chemical resistance, and good adhesion on metals.

FMSIL fumed silica is a highly pure, nanoparticle size silicon dioxide available as untreated hydrophilic and surface-treated using different organosilanes hydrophobic types. FMSIL fumed silica acts as an efficient and reliable rheological as well as suspension aid, carrier viscosity modifier in emulsion, and also as a mattifying agent.

Pluriol® grades are polyalkylene glycols or modified (alkyl) polyalkylene glycols. Pluriol® grades offer specialized properties making them ideal for improving electroplating processes.

The raw material used for production is a derivative of palm kernel oil from certified crops. It is an anionic surfactant of the group of alkyl ether sulfates, based on natural alcohol

Redispersible polymer powder is soluble in water. Maissen RDP is based on Vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer and used PVA as the protection colloid. Could disperse in water very well and form the emulsion. Maissen Redispersible polymer powder can increase the flexibility, bonding strength and water proofing of mortar.

GENIOSIL® WP silane-modified polymers are the key to innovative waterproofing products, whose properties are comparable to those of polyurethane-based liquid waterproofing coatings. Thanks to its particularly low viscosity, GENIOSIL® WP is easy to formulate without the addition of solvents, plasticizers or tin catalysts.

Metacem grades of calcined clays are reactive allumino silicate pozzolan. Metacem combines with Calcium Hydroxide to form Calcium Silicate and Calcium Aluminate Hydrates which helps to increase compressive & flexural, strength. It is recommended for high performance, high strength, lightweight concrete, precast and poured-mold concrete, fiber cement and Ferro cement products. It provides resistance to chemical attack, reduces permeability substantially, preventing alkali-silica reaction, and reduces efflorescence & shrinkage.

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

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.
