Building & Construction
Open time and water retention that suit the applicator, strength and durability that suit the spec, and a mortar that stays workable at the temperature it is actually laid.
Water retention & workability
Rheology modifiers and water-retention additives for tile adhesives, renders, plasters and levelling compounds.
Strength & durability
Metakaolin, limestone fillers, high alumina cement and reactive pozzolans for performance and longevity.
Hydrophobicity
Water-repellent additives for facade renders and exposed mortars where absorption drives failure.
Lightweight & insulation
Perlite and vermiculite for insulating mortars, fire protection and weight reduction.
25 grades for building & construction
Minerals and specialities together. Narrow by product group or search by name and property — samples can be requested for these grades, with CoA, SDS and REACH status.

View productFormulated for the site,
not the laboratory
Dry mortar is applied by people in weather. Open time, slip and water demand matter more than a 28-day figure on a certificate.
- Applicator-side thinking. We help set the additive package around how and where the product is actually laid.
- Samples with data. Full technical data with every sample — not just a bag and a phone number.
- Scale-up support. Once qualified, we lock in the supply route, packaging and stock level before you launch.
- Second source planning. Where it matters, we help you qualify an alternate grade in advance rather than during a shortage.
Trialling a new grade?
Send the specification and target properties. We'll shortlist minerals and specialities, arrange samples and give you a realistic lead time for scale-up.
