Admixtures
Cemex Admixtures delivers consistent quality, durability, and workability with advanced solutions designed to optimize concrete performance, streamline construction, and support sustainability.
Advanced Concrete Admixtures
Our solutions help ready-mix producers, contractors, and specifiers overcome environmental challenges and meet concrete performance requirements. With deep industry expertise and a stable, vertically integrated supply chain, we provide high-performance, cost-effective, and sustainable admixtures that improve strength, durability, and workability—helping builders meet the demands of modern construction with confidence.
Tailored Admixtures for Every Challenge
We produce a comprehensive and versatile range of admixtures specifically designed to enhance the properties and performance of concrete across diverse construction applications.
Normal Plasticizers
These admixtures improve the workability and flow of concrete, making it easier to place and finish without increasing water content, which helps maintain strength and durability.
Water-Reducing
Designed to reduce the amount of water needed in the concrete mix, these admixtures increase the overall strength, reduce shrinkage, and enhance the long-term durability of the finished product.
Products
Waterproofing
These specialized products improve the concrete’s resistance to water penetration, protecting structures from moisture-related damage, corrosion, and freeze-thaw cycles, thus extending the lifespan of the construction.
Project Applications
Our admixtures meet the demands of diverse projects, addressing key concrete performance challenges. From crack prevention to greater strength and durability, Cemex admixtures enhance concrete under varying conditions.
Crack Prevention and Shrinkage Reduction
Shrinkage reducing admixtures minimize drying or plastic shrinkage cracking, and/or internal stresses that cause cracking, improving surface quality, aesthetics, or long-term durability. Cemex's wide range of water reducers help reduce the water content in concrete preventing drying shrinkage and cracking.
Extended Delivery and Placement
Retarding and hydration control admixtures extend setting times, making them ideal for large pours and hot weather conditions. Our slump extender maintains workability (slump life) over long hauls and extended placement times without signficantly delaying the setting time.
Corrosion Protection
Corrosion-inhibiting admixtures protect reinforcing steel from chloride-induced corrosion. To further enhance durability, shrinkage-reducing admixtures help minimize cracks that allow moisture ingress. Our wide range of water reducers help decrease permeabilty in concrete by lowering the water content in the mixture. This reduction in permeability slows chloride ions, preventing them from reaching the steel reinforcement.
Strength and Longevity
Water-reducing admixtures enhance compressive strength and durability by lowering the water-cement ratio, making them ideal for challenging exposure conditions including external sources of chlorides, sulfates, salts, and other damaging chemicals. They also help mitigate damage from freezing and thawing, as well as alkali- silica reaction (ASR). Shrinkage-reducing admixtures minimize stress-related cracks, while corrosion inhibitors protect reinforcement, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
Improved Concrete Placement
Water-reducing admixtures enhance flowability, and can make pumping, placement, consolidation, and finishing easier. Additional benefits include predicatable setting and minimizing cracking and surface issues. Our slump extender maintains workability over long placement times, while our viscosity-modifying admixtures can aid in pumping and finishing as well as segregation and improving overall placement quality can also adjust concrete properties by either decreasing or increasing bleeding.
Admixtures Benefits
