Concrete is our calling

MC Bauchemie: Our world is concrete
Construction Chemicals: We Share our Know-How For over 40 years MC has been a trusted partner of the concrete products industry. MC's materials, services and solutions are a broad spectrum of well-matched products and systems combine to form a broad, well-matched spectrum that enables the optimal production of concrete goods. Concrete used to make concrete products has different properties. Semi-dry concrete with a lower water content is by nature difficult to compact. Colour intensity of the finished article is also very important. In addition products must be free of efflorescence. MC has the expertise to deliver. Only a perfectly matched combination of admixtures and casting techniques is able to produce the desired results. The specialists for concrete admixtures are at MC. The challenge is diversity ... A particular challenge in the concrete products industry is the achievement of sufficient early strength to enable the rapid removal from forms and handling.

MC improves your results
