Additives to improve the Performance of Concrete Admixture Applications
Concrete is the backbone of modern infrastructure -but its performance depends on more than just cement and water. At Evonik, we empower formulators and construction professionals with advanced additives and monomers that enhance flowability, durability, and sustainability. Whether you're designing high-performance superplasticizers, formulating the desired admixture solution or developing protective treatments for concrete surfaces, our chemistries help you build smarter, stronger, and longer-lasting structures.
Why Choose Evonik for Concrete & Admixtures?

Sustainability at the Core: Low-VOC, bio-based, and label-free options support greener construction and safer working environments.
Formulation Flexibility: Our portfolio enables precise management of rheology, air voids, shrinkage, water reduction, and water repellency, as well as polymer architecture.
Solutions by Application
Superplasticizers & Flow Enhancers
VISIOMER® MPEG methacrylates– Key aqueous building blocks with varying methoxy polyethylene glycol (MPEG) chain lengths that are used to make high-performance PCE superplasticizers. These specialty methacrylate monomers optimize flow, workability, and concrete durability.
Additives for Admixture
SITREN® - Various effects like shrinkage reduction, self-healing, mold release, wetting and dispersing to achieve the desired performance
SITREN AirVoid® - Defoamer and air entrainers for targeted distribution and stabilization of air in fresh concrete.
TEGOSIVIN® - Hydrophobing agents for long-term protection against water induced damage.
Surface Protection & Durability
Protectosil® – Silane-based additives for water repellency, corrosion resistance, and substrate protection in exposed concrete structures.
Binder & Polymer Additives
CARPLEX® – Cellulose derivatives for improved viscosity and water retention.
POLYVEST® – POLYVEST®-based sand-filled mortars effectively manage water penetration and provide robust weed control.
