Concrete Additives

PRODUCT LINE COMPOSITION APPLICATION
H-Questβ„’ C 100 Crystalline Sodium Glucoheptonate (100%) Used in formulating cement retarders. The higher thermal stability of H-Questβ„’ C 100 allows formulated cement retarders to be stable above 200ΒΊC (400ΒΊF). Additionally, it produces a permanent increase in the cement volume, increased compressive strength, increased plasticity, and inhibits corrosion of the metal used in reinforced concrete.
H-Questβ„’ L 50 Liquid Sodium Glucoheptonate (50%) Used in formulating cement retarders. It produces a permanent increase in the cement volume, increased compressive strength, increased plasticity, and inhibits corrosion of the metal used in reinforced concrete.
H-Questβ„’ Calcium Glucoheptonate Calcium Glucoheptonate (38%) Used in formulating cement retarders. H-Questβ„’ Calcium Glucoheptonate acts as a dispersant for concrete particles. Additionally, it produces a permanent increase in the cement volume, increased compressive strength, increased plasticity, and inhibits corrosion of the metal used in reinforced concrete

Concrete additives are chemicals added to concrete to improve properties such as workability, strength, durability, and performance. They enhance concrete quality and performance characteristics.

Concrete additives can improve workability, reduce water requirements, enhance strength, improve durability, control setting time, and provide various performance benefits depending on the additive type.

Concrete additives are used in construction, infrastructure projects, and various concrete applications where enhanced properties and performance are required.

Metal working uses various specialty chemicals including lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, brighteners, metal complexing agents, and low-foam surfactants. These chemicals improve machining efficiency, protect metal surfaces, and enhance finishing processes.

Corrosion inhibitors form a protective layer on metal surfaces, preventing oxidation and degradation. They are essential in metalworking fluids, cleaning solutions, and protective coatings to extend equipment life and maintain surface quality.

Metal complexing agents bind with metal ions, preventing unwanted reactions and improving process control. They are used in metal finishing, electroplating, and cleaning applications to enhance process efficiency and product quality.

Brightener additives enhance the brightness and appearance of metal surfaces during finishing processes. They improve surface quality, provide uniform appearance, and enhance the aesthetic properties of finished metal products.

End-capped surfactants are modified surfactants with blocked reactive groups, providing improved stability and performance. In metal working, they offer better foam control, improved compatibility, and enhanced performance in various metal processing applications.

Yes, we offer low-foam surfactants specifically designed for metal working applications. These surfactants provide effective cleaning and processing benefits while minimizing foam formation, which is critical in high-speed metal processing operations.
