What are hydrogel admixtures, and how do they benefit concrete?

Hydrogel admixtures are water-based solutions that enhance the durability, workability, and sustainability of concrete. They help minimise shrinkage cracking, improve waterproofing, and extend the service life of concrete structures.

Are MARKHAM concrete admixtures safe to handle and store?

Yes, all MARKHAM concrete admixtures are nil VOC, sustainably sourced, and safe for handling, storage, transport, and use. They are water-based and non-crystalline, reducing risks like silica inhalation and making logistics more cost-effective.

How do MARKHAM concrete admixtures contribute to sustainability?

MARKHAM concrete admixtures are sustainably sourced and carry Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Products like CONQOR B25 and CONQOR B50 are made using byproducts from New Zealand’s hydrothermal energy industry, supporting a circular economy.

Can MARKHAM concrete admixtures improve the workability of concrete?

Yes, MARKHAM’s hydrogel admixtures enhance the mix’s workability, making it easier to place and finish. This improvement also helps optimise the construction process and reduces potential defects.

What makes MARKHAM waterproofing solutions unique?

MARKHAM concrete admixtures provide permanent waterproofing from within the concrete. This integral solution eliminates the need for external membranes, reduces maintenance, and improves long-term durability.

Supporting change in the industry:

Adopting lower-carbon concrete

The transition to lower-carbon concrete is creating new challenges for ready-mix producers. Increased SCM use, changing material availability, performance variability, and tighter durability expectations require more than standard admixture approaches.

The CONQOR admixture range helps producers navigate this transition with specialist admixture technology, technical expertise and proven performance data.

Our manufacturing capability allows us to tailor solutions to specific customer requirements, supporting producers with products designed around their performance objectives rather than forcing projects into an off-the-shelf solution.
