Addmix: Making life easier for engineers

Architects, engineers and builders are always in search of new ways of doing things for them to be able to meet deadlines without sacrificing quality. More and more products are coming out of the market but only a few will find favor with them. Quality, durability, strength and such factors as time and cost efficiency are what makes new products click with these building experts.

Global Brands hit the bullseye with its AddMix products. These products come in miniature packages but they have brought about big changes in the construction industry. This breakthrough product is a range of performance admixtures in powder form added and mixed to enhance specific properties of concrete.

The remarkable qualities of AddMix have so impressed the quality assurance & quality control head of DDT Konstract, Engr. Rene Raagas who oversees the World Health Organization’s Western Pacific Region Office in Manila.

"AddMix gives us twice the strength of ordinary cement mixes," Engr. Raagas says with the assurance of added durability and strength of the cement, it further decreases the chance of re-work for any of the structures. It also allows early setting of the cement mix which drastically cuts down our project timeframe by as much as 25%. Moreover, it provides about 35 percent savings in materials cost, he added. Needless to say, AddMix provides a lot of benefits for engineers who are under a lot of stress during the construction period.

Engr. Raagas uses all of AddMix’s four variants. The first variant is AddMix Plus. The volume expander for mortars used for Concrete Hollow Blocks. The second variant is AddMix Easy, the Plaster Mortar Enhancer. It is the secret to a better and more economical plaster! Third in the AddMix range is the AddMix Ultra. The fortifier and accelerator for concrete poured in structural elements. Structural masses such as beams, columns and some flooring require specified concrete or cement mix strengths.

And the 4th AddMix variant is the AddMix Tilebond. For economical tile setting mortars. AddMix Tilebond also contains Air Entraining Agents but its real strength lies in its "Triple Bonding Agent." The triple bonding agents in Tilebond is responsible for the superior adhesion and faster setting and curing results obtained from Tile Setting Mortars mixed with it.

Engr. Raagas believes in the product 100 percent and will continue using it with other projects. For Engineers like Engr. Raagas, AddMix is seen as the partner to quality concrete. Not only does it enhance strength and durability, it is also time and cost efficient and hence, makes life easier for builders of homes and buildings and other infrastructures.
