Product Uses
![]() |
Our cement performance additives are used to enhance the performance characteristics of masonry, stucco (plastic) and mortar cements. In a single solution, our additives provide air entrainment, extend set time and board life, improve water repellency, enhance plasticity (thus workability) and improve cement grinding efficiency. |
The products are custom-formulated for each cement mill's performance targets based on the cement type and raw materials mixture.
