Your solution partner for ready-mix concrete

Fully utilizing the Ekan R&D Centre with its high-tech chemistry, polymers, ready-mix concrete, and cement laboratories, Ekan Chem provides the ready-mix concrete sector with plasticizers, set retarders, set accelerators, water impermeability admixtures, air-entraining admixtures, shot-crete chemicals, and many more.

Ready-mixed concrete is an important component that saves time and labor in construction projects and ensures the creation of a high-quality structure. Ready-mixed concrete is obtained by mixing cement, water, aggregates, and additives. This mixture is produced in large mixers at concrete plants and then transported to the job site using trucks or pump systems.

Ready-mixed concrete producers use chemical additives to produce customized mixes according to their customers’ needs and to provide the desired strength, durability, workability, and other properties that meet different project requirements.

Through a wide range of additives with various functions, the performance of cement and consequently concrete improves. It enhances the workability and durability of concrete, allows control over the setting time, and provides functions such as reducing water permeability or minimizing freeze-thaw damage.

Improve the concrete quality by reducing the water/cement ratio during concrete manufacturing at the plant, resulting in concrete with high strength, durability and workability

Improves the pumpability of concrete after the concrete is brought to the site by transmixer

Retards the setting time of concrete by slowing down/accelerating the cement hydration reaction, resulting in better workability

SHOT

Shot-Crete
Admixtures

Accelerates the concrete setting in spritz concrete applications

AIR

Air Entraining
Admixtures

Used both for protecting the concrete against the freeze/thaw cycle and light weight concrete production

ADMIX

Water Impermeability
Admixtures

Enhances the water impermeability of concrete against capillary absorption
