Our applications
Precast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mould or ‘form’ which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place.

Ready-mixed concrete is concrete manufactured in a batch plant, according to an engineered mix design. It is transported to the construction site via a barrel truck or in-transit mixer.

KAO's Powder-based polycarboxylate ethers (PCE) are premium class superplasticizers as well as extreme efficient water reducing agents that are used in all kinds of cementitous DRY-MIX applications.
Typical application fields include joint fillers, tile adhesives, screeds, self-levelling compounds, On- and Off-Shore anchor mortars, shotcretes injection and repair mortars.
Conventional plasticizers based on Naphthalene Sulfonate technology (NSF) convince by their cost/performance ratio and excellent robustness in various dry-mix and concrete applications.
