Innovative Chemicals Products To Change Our Conceptions

Concrete Admixture
Chemical science has registered significant advancement during last couple of decades. Its advantage goes to common man in multiple ways, direct and indirect both. Though most of us don’t recognize its importance but it has changed the face of life we lead. Integral waterproofing compound, antimicrobial chemical and concrete admixture etc are being used widely but we hardly know about these.

Integral waterproofing compound is used as an additive to mortar and concrete. Concrete waterproofers alter the concrete’s surface so it becomes moisturous or water repellant. These also make the concrete and mortar more compact and dense by filling up pores. These are available in liquid and powder forms in variety of packs. Most manufacturers recommend the use of liquid integral waterproofing compound about 100 to 200ml per cement bag while the recommended quantity for powder waterproofing compound for one bag is 2% by weight. Moisture in the walls is the common problem; therefore, all the architects and building experts essentially use concrete waterproofers.

Antimicrobial Chemical is innovative product. It is nanotechnology based composite that contains silver content. When it is applied on a surface, it destroys even the powerful bacteria, algae and fungi besides checking their growth. it is a non organic product. It is 100 percent safe, good heat resistant and non-volatile. This compound is available in liquid and powder forms. Manufacturers of tiles, plastics & polymers, sanitary ware, rubbers, paints, healthcare products and textile are the bulk users of powder antimicrobial chemical. The manufacturers of disinfectants, hand sanitizer, soaps, shampoo, latex, cosmetics, leather, and water purification etc use liquid antimicrobial chemical.

Concrete Admixture is used as an ingredient of mortar or concrete. It is added to concrete mixture before or during the mixing. It is Sulphonated Naphthalene Formaldehyde based. It shifts the properties of mixed concrete towards hardened or plastic state. It reduces the cost of concrete considerably and can be used with most of the cement brands. Besides reducing segregation, it improves the pump-ability by increasing its flow. It enhances the usable concrete’s life considerably. As it increases the strength of concrete mixture, so it is being used even in the small size building construction.

Therefore, chemical science advancement has given us many products that can change our traditional expectations and concepts. We should recognize their importance and must thank to the manufacturers of these products who applied the science advancement for our welfare.
