Poor quality and unconventional aggregates (i.e. manufactured sand) are currently being used in many construction projects. The quality of clay can negatively impact production costs and performance resulting in plastic concrete with poor rheological properties (i.e. affecting pump, flow and consolidation). When aggregate deficiencies are not managed effectively the concrete produced can become less durable, increases variability and production costs while lowering quality.

CLARENA® Clay Deactivation Technology

Reacts with clay through adsorption and intercalation, thus reducing absorption of water and admixture. Extends quarry life with quality aggregates, better fines management & additional yield and productivity. Consistent admixture dosage and repeatable slump and air performance. Potential to reduce quarry aggregate waste.

CLARENA® concrete admixtures mitigate the negative effects of aggregate shape, gradation, and clay content, and increase the usable amount of aggregate from a given quarry, while improving admixture performance and concrete quality. Discover more about CLARENA®.

CLARENA® MC Specialty Water Reducers

Increased slump and stability with specialty water reducing admixtures enabling the use of low cost aggregates and improved pumping & finishing with less cement. Find out more.

DARAGRIND® specialty grinding aids

DARAGRIND® specialty grinding aids enable efficient grinding of calcium carbonate and other minerals, allowing the desired particle size distribution with reduced energy demand. The Grinding Aids also improve process efficiency in the size reduction of secondary cementitious material (SCMs).
