Building Chemistry & Construction Industry

Our CACs for the building chemistry and construction industry are used for flooring products, tile adhesives, jointing compounds, specialty mortars, and building mortars.

CAC for Building Chemistry: quick-setting and high strength.

ISTRA CACs are adaptable to various applications. As an admixture to Portland cement, they accelerate strength development in quick-setting and rapid hardening mortars. With further additives, particular desired properties can be optimized. They also offer close control of the hydration process and curing time.
