Developing together. Building with each other.

1 Developing together . Building with each create chemistry for advanced AdditivesTo achieve groundbreaking formulations providing outstanding workability and physical properties, your system needs advanced raw properties of construction materials, such as dry mortars or mastic systems, are infl uenced by the quality of local raw materials. Therefore, interactions between organic and inorganic binders, fi llers and a range of chemical additives need to be controlled to ensure the best performance of the create chemistry for advanced formulations.

2 A broad range of powder and liquid additives which enable you to formulate innovative application-focused technical experts in our laboratories support you in optimizing your formu-lations and choosing the right raw , we provide you with the right solution for your specifi c raw materials and special local especially support you in:Repair Systems and InfrastructureFlowable Systems Self-levelling underlayments cementitious and calcium sulphate-based screeds Non- shrink groutsNon-sag Applications Cement-based ceramic tile adhesives Exterior insulation and fi nishing systems (EIFS/ETICS)
