In today’s construction scenario, cost effectiveness of admixtures is under close scanner due to high volumes of concrete involved. It can only be said, maximum benefit of using admixtures can only be realised, by using it in conjunction with correct concrete technology. Correct concrete technology can only be developed in conjunction with people of extensive expertise in concrete materials and mix designs, and various admixture technology providing companies.

Mc-Bauchemie offers value addition tools such as mix design analysis, grading curves analysis to maximise benefits for concrete and increase durability.

Admixtures like Zentrament, and the Muraplast FK and Powerflow range of admixtures (plasticisers and superplasticisers) are especially designed for concretes requiring high early and final strengths. These are primarily high range water reducers, based on selected second and latest generation polymers, are free of chlorides and can be adjusted for slightly extended workability time. The concretes so produced are free from bleeding, segregation, are pumpable and require minimum compaction. These are suitable for use in the pre-stressed and precast industry for manufacturing elements such as beams, columns, slabs, railway sleepers, concrete piles, rails, posts, electrical poles, concrete pipes, etc.

The development of strength is rapid enough to enable early stripping of moulds for rapid, economic construction on account of lesser formwork requirements. With the correct concrete technology and optimum use of Zentrament, Muraplast FK and Powerflow range of admixtures, about 15 to 20 per cent cement savings may be achieved by maintaining the same slump and strength.

Apart from concrete super and hyper plasticisers, Mc-Bauchemie specialise in a range of as follows
Integral waterproofing additives based in dynamic SynCrystallisation- MC-Special DM
Waterproofing and workability additives for plaster – Putz Dichtament
Centrilit NC (nano-crystallizer) is a pozzolanic concrete additive based on amorphous alumosilicate for enhancing mechanical properties and durability of concrete
Accelerating, retarding, srinkage reducing and grouting additives for concrete
Compacting aids for dry–mixed concrete and roller compacted concrete– Murasan BWA Range
Specialist high performance curing compounds that heals micro-cracks – Emcoril Range.

MC-Bauchemie (India) Pvt. Ltd. manufactures complete range of concrete admixtures and technical and financial collaboration with MC-Bauchemie, Germany. To maintain high technical standards, MC-Bauchemie are one of the few companies to have a dedicated training centre and concrete technology lab, in Goa, to provide maximum service for their clients.
