Concrete is an essential component in the construction industry today that is used to build everything from highways to high-rises. However, to achieve the desired characteristics, such as strength, workability, and durability, concrete requires the addition of admixtures, also known as concrete additives or chemical admixtures. This blog will guide you in selecting the best […]
A concrete admixture refers to a material other than water, aggregates, hydraulic cement and fibre reinforcement used to modify the properties of concrete during mixing. Accurately predicting the time, it will take for your concrete to set is an exacting science that you may not have time for when working under tight deadlines. Using a […]
2-tert butyl phenol also known as ortho tertiary butyl phenol, refers to a colourless organic compound with the formula (CH3)3CC6H4OH. It dissolves in water and can be prepared by acid-catalysed alkylation of phenol with isobutene. Properties Ortho-tert butyl phenol is a chemical compound with a clear colourless and pale-yellow appearance. It is a vicious liquid […]

We supply monomers in granular as well as liquid form with a high-level of purity for optimum performance. We manufacture ATBS monomers and ATBS sodium salts for polymers of […]
What Are Concrete Additives? A concrete admixture refers to the components of concrete that are added just before the mixing process to improve the quality, manageability, acceleration or to delay the setting time of concrete. The successful use of admixtures depends on the combination of ingredients and concrete. Most admixtures are available in ready-to-use liquid […]
A concrete admixture refers to materials other than water, aggregates, cementitious materials and fibre reinforcements that are added to a cementitious mixture to modify its properties. It is generally added before or during the mixing process. Admixtures are usually liquids and added in very small quantities to the concrete while it is being mixed. There […]
Para tert butyl benzoic acid also called PTBBA, is an aromatic carboxylic acid that could also be used as a substitute for benzoic acid. It is generally built in a 2D structure but when in a 3D conformer, it can be viewed with all the hydrogen in a ball-and-stick format. The compound of para tert […]
Acrylamide tertiary-butyl sulfonic acid is a special sulfonic acid acrylic monomer that is highly reactive. It is also known as AMPS (Acrylamide 2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid). This chemical is available as a powder, pellet or 50% aqueous solution as sodium salt Properties Of ATBS ATBS is a versatile substance that is hydrolytic is nature and possesses properties […]
There are many things that should be considered when selecting concrete additives. They are: Comprehensive Strength This is one of the most important properties of concrete as it can influence various other desirable properties of hardened concrete. The mean compressive strength needed at a specific age is generally 28 days determines the water-cement ratio of […]
CAS number 15214-89-8 2-Acrylamido 2-Methylpropane Sulfonic Acid is a reactive hydrophilic sulfonic acid acrylic monomer. It is used to change the chemical properties of a variety of anionic polymers. Today there are thousands of patents and publications regarding the use of AMPS in several areas like water treatment, oil fields, construction chemicals, hydrogels for medical […]
