Dry Mortar Mixes

Process and performance additives to improve energy and resource efficiency in the drymix industry.

Process and performance additives from Evonik support the dry mortar mix industry to improve energy and resource efficiency for new and existing structures, while also reducing climate-damaging emissions. As a key component of modern construction systems, our specialty drymix mortar products offer the latest high-performance, cost optimized and sustainable construction methods.

Reinforced concrete buildings are vulnerable to penetrating moisture. Together with the pollutants dissolved in it (e.g. chlorides from de-icing salts), moisture can attack the passivation layer of the steel and lead to corrosion pitting. In the long term, the stability of the structure is affected. With PROTECTOSIL®, Evonik has developed a silane-based product family especially for construction. It has water-repellent qualities and can form a passivation layer around the steel. As a powdered product, it can be added to dry mortar mixtures during the construction process. Thoroughly mixed, it is distributed homogeneously throughout the matrix of the building material. Its long-lasting corrosion protection makes PROTECTOSIL® a product that helps to significantly reduce cost-intensive and time-consuming maintenance measures in the future.
