Durability, workability and sustainability while being easy and safe to handle!

MARKHAM hydrogel admixtures can enhance concrete durability from the outset. Optimise the asset service life from construction stage. Hydrogel admixtures make the mix more workable, minimise shrinkage cracking, and waterproof the concrete from within.

MARKHAM hydrogel concrete admixtures are sustainable sourced and carry EPDs. CONQOR B25 and CONQOR B50 specifically are created from a byproduct of the New Zealand hydrothermal energy industry.

WATERPROOFING AND DURABILITY

CONQOR B50 is sourced from a byproduct of New Zealand’s geothermal industry. This advanced waterproofing admixture reduces shrinkage and permanently protects the concrete.

AQURON 300 is one of MARKHAM’s original hydrogel products – an advanced waterproofing admixture with multiple benefits for both the construction team and the asset owner.

Both of these treatments are certified for potable water projects.

WORKABILITY

CONQOR B25 is a workability enhancer. Ideal for congested reinforcing, unusual shapes, or difficult access. It is produced from a by-product of the geothermal industry – a very sustainable source.

ARCHITECTURAL DURABILITY

CONQOR B52 is unique – the world’s first hybrid hydrogel admixture. This two-part additive provides both waterproofing and water repellency, and is intended for high-risk and extreme environments such as marine or mining structures.
