Construction Chemicals and Their Applications

At MTC Chemical, we offer a wide range of construction chemicals for the construction and building industry. These chemicals are used to enhance the quality of building materials, ensure their durability, and contribute to the longevity of structures. Below, you will find detailed information about the products in our construction chemicals category and their applications:

Set Retarding Acids

Set retarding acids are chemicals used in concrete and cement applications. These acids extend the setting time of concrete, allowing for longer workability. Citric Acid Anhydrous and Citric Acid Monohydrate improve the workability of concrete, while L(+) Natural Tartaric Acid is known for its set-retarding effect. These acids are particularly useful in hot weather concreting to control the setting time.

Defoamers

Defoamers are used to prevent unwanted foam formation during the production of concrete and other building materials. Powder Defoamers are typically preferred in dry mixtures, while Liquid Defoamers are effective in liquid mixtures. These products are used especially to enhance the quality of concrete and achieve a homogeneous structure.

Pigments and Filler Materials

Pigments and filler materials are used to improve the color and physical properties of building materials. Anatase Titanium Dioxide and Rutile Titanium Dioxide are used to provide high opacity and whiteness. These pigments are widely preferred in paint, coating, and plastic products. Filler materials increase the volume of building materials while improving their mechanical properties.

Concrete and Cement Additives

Concrete and cement additives are chemicals used to enhance the performance of building materials. Sodium Gluconate improves the workability of concrete, while TIPA and Triethanolamine (TEA) accelerate cement hydration and increase strength. Naphthalene Sulfonate provides high fluidity, allowing concrete to be placed more uniformly. Additives like Monoethylene Glycol and Sodium Lignosulfonate increase the freeze-thaw resistance of concrete and help create long-lasting structures.

Paint Raw Materials

Raw materials used in paint production directly affect the color, durability, and ease of application of the paint. Sodium Gluconate maintains the pH balance of the paint, while TIPA and Triethanolamine (TEA) allow the paint to dry faster and adhere better to the surface. Naphthalene Sulfonate increases the fluidity of the paint, ensuring uniform distribution. Substances like Monoethylene Glycol and lignosulfonates are used as stabilizers and viscosity regulators in paint formulations.
