Concrete Admixtures from Ichem
Concrete admixtures are essential components used to improve the performance of concrete mixes by enhancing their quality, strength and ability to meet different project requirements. In this context, Ichem offers a wide range of innovative concrete admixtures based on the latest technologies and international standards, making it one of the leading companies in this field across local and regional markets.
What Are Concrete Admixtures?
Concrete admixtures are materials added in specific proportions to the concrete mix during the mixing process in order to improve its physical or mechanical properties. These admixtures work to adjust setting time, increase resistance, improve workability, or enhance durability under changing environmental conditions, which ensures higher performance and long-term structural sustainability.
Types of Concrete Admixtures Offered by Ichem
Retarders
These admixtures delay the initial setting time of concrete, giving the working team additional time for casting and handling. They are especially suitable for hot weather conditions or large areas that need to be poured in one stage.
Accelerators
Accelerators help speed up the setting process, enabling faster formwork removal and early strength development. They are recommended for cold-weather conditions or projects that require early strength.
Air-Entraining Agents
These materials create fine air bubbles within the concrete mix, improving resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and increasing durability in harsh environments.
Plasticizers (Workability Enhancers)
Used to improve the flowability of concrete and make it easier to pump and place without increasing the water content. This is especially useful in areas that are difficult to access.
Water Reducers
These admixtures reduce the amount of water required in the mix while maintaining workability, resulting in stronger and more durable concrete with improved long-term performance.
Fibers
Fibers enhance the concrete’s tensile strength and reduce cracks caused by thermal shrinkage. They also help stabilize the concrete during the early curing stages.
