CONCRETE ADMIXTURES
CE Construction Solutions is a trusted supplier to ready-mix concrete plants, supplying a comprehensive range of bulk admixtures designed with a focus on quality, consistency, and innovation.
Water Reducing Admixtures:
Reduce the water content required in the mix, increasing strength and improving workability without changing the cement content. Commonly used for high-strength concrete projects.
Retarding Admixtures:
Slows down the setting rate of concrete and improves workability. Especially useful in hot weather to prevent premature hardening during placement.
Accelerating Admixtures:
Speed up the setting and strength development of concrete, useful in cold weather or for projects that require quick turnaround.
Air Entraining Admixtures:
Introduce uniform, tiny air bubbles into the concrete to improve durability, particularly in freeze-thaw conditions. This reduces the risk of cracking from expansion.
Superplasticisers (High Range Water Reducers):
Greatly increase fluidity without additional water, making concrete highly workable or self-leveling. Ideal for complex shapes and high-performance applications.
Corrosion Inhibitors:
Protect steel reinforcement within concrete from corrosion, commonly used in marine structures, bridges, and parking garages.
Waterproofing Admixtures
These additives enhance concrete’s resistance to water penetration by creating a crystalline structure within the concrete’s pores and capillaries. The crystalline formations expand upon contact with water, filling and sealing voids to prevent water ingress.
CarbonCure CO₂
Injects captured carbon dioxide into the concrete mix, where it reacts with calcium ions to form calcium carbonate, permanently trapping the CO₂ and strengthening the concrete. This eco-friendly admixture reduces the carbon footprint of concrete and enhances durability, making it ideal for sustainable construction projects.
