Buy Admixtures Online at Best Price — Admixture Suppliers in UAE

 

Plaster admixtures, latex admixtures, curing compounds, and fast-setting plugging mortars — performance-enhancing chemical solutions for concrete, screeds, and plaster work across the UAE.

Admixtures are the unsung performance enhancers in modern construction. Added in small quantities to concrete, plaster, mortar, and screed mixes, they significantly change how the material behaves — improving workability, extending or accelerating set times, enhancing adhesion, reducing water demand, and increasing final strength and durability.

FEPY stocks a focused range of professional-grade admixtures from trusted manufacturers — Mapei, Fosroc, and Techno Plast — covering plaster admixtures for the UAE's hot-climate plastering work, latex admixtures for flexible adhesive mixes, curing compounds for concrete protection, and fast-setting plugging mortars for emergency water-leak stops. Fast delivery to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and all seven emirates.

Types of Admixtures

FEPY stocks admixtures covering the most common performance requirements:

  • Plaster Admixtures: Polymer-based liquid admixtures added to plaster mixes to improve workability, reduce shrinkage cracking, and enhance bond to substrates. Essential for UAE-climate plastering where rapid drying is a constant challenge.
  • Latex Admixtures: SBR and polymer latex admixtures that improve adhesion, flexibility, and water resistance in cementitious mortars, screeds, and tile adhesives — ideal for thin-section repairs and high-performance bonded screeds.
  • Concrete Curing Compounds: Water-based liquid membranes sprayed onto freshly placed concrete to reduce water evaporation, prevent surface cracking, and ensure full hydration — critical in the UAE's high-temperature conditions.
  • Fast-Setting Plugging Mortars: Hydraulic cement-based plugging mortars that set in minutes — used to instantly stop active water leaks in concrete, masonry walls, and underground structures.
  • Water Reducers & Plasticizers: Admixtures that reduce water content while maintaining workability — improving final concrete strength, density, and durability without sacrificing pour quality.
  • Set Retarders & Accelerators: Retarders extend working time for hot-weather pours and long-distance ready-mix transport; accelerators speed up early strength gain for fast-track schedules and cold-weather conditions.

Selecting the Right Admixture

Choosing the right admixture and dosage is critical for predictable mix performance. Consider these key factors:

  • Application Type: Match the admixture to the mix — plaster admixtures for plaster lifts; latex admixtures for screeds, repairs, and tile adhesives; curing compounds for fresh slab pours; plugging mortars for active water leaks.
  • Environmental Conditions: Hot-weather pours need retarders and curing compounds to prevent rapid moisture loss; cold conditions may need accelerators. UAE summer conditions strongly favour Concure-type curing membranes.
  • Dosage Rate: Always follow the manufacturer's specified dosage as a percentage of cement weight — under-dosing fails to deliver performance; over-dosing causes set-time issues, bleeding, or strength loss.
  • Compatibility: Check compatibility with other admixtures in the mix, the cement type, and any supplementary cementitious materials (fly ash, GGBS, silica fume).
  • Trial Mixes: For critical structural pours, run trial mixes to verify slump, set time, and strength gain before scaling up — small adjustments at trial stage prevent major site problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an admixture and why is it added to concrete or plaster?

An admixture is a chemical added in small quantities (typically 0.1–5% of cement weight) to concrete, mortar, plaster, or screed at the time of mixing to modify its properties. Admixtures improve workability, change set times, reduce water demand, enhance adhesion, increase final strength, or add specific properties like waterproofing or shrinkage reduction. In UAE conditions, admixtures are essential for managing hot-weather concreting, achieving proper plaster bond on smooth substrates, and ensuring concrete cures correctly under high evaporation rates.

2. What's the difference between a plaster admixture and a latex admixture?

Plaster admixtures (like Techno Plast Mix) are polymer-based liquids specifically formulated for plaster work — they improve workability, reduce cracking, and enhance bond on the smooth concrete and masonry substrates common in UAE construction. Latex admixtures (like Mapei Planicrete) are SBR or polymer-based products designed for cementitious mortars, screeds, and tile adhesives — they significantly improve adhesion, flexibility, and water resistance, making them ideal for thin-section repairs and bonded screeds. The two aren't interchangeable; specify based on what mix you're enhancing.

3. Why do I need a curing compound in the UAE?

UAE temperatures, low humidity, and high wind speeds cause water to evaporate from freshly placed concrete extremely quickly — often faster than the concrete can chemically hydrate. This leads to plastic shrinkage cracking, reduced strength, and poor durability. Curing compounds like Fosroc Concure WB Clear form a water-based membrane on the fresh surface that dramatically slows evaporation, allowing the concrete to retain moisture and develop full design strength. They're a far more practical solution than continuous water curing or covering with wet hessian on most UAE jobsites.

4. How is a fast-setting plugging mortar used to stop water leaks?

Hydraulic plugging mortars like Mapei Lamposilex ME are designed to set in minutes — even under active water flow. They're used to instantly stop water ingress through cracks, joints, and pipe penetrations in basements, tanks, and below-ground structures:

  • Identify & Chase Out: Locate the active leak and cut a clean V-groove or channel around it to give the plug a key.
  • Mix Small Batches: Mix only what you can apply in the working time (typically 30–60 seconds) — bigger batches will set in the bucket.
  • Press & Hold: Press the mortar firmly into the leak and hold under pressure for the cure time stated on the datasheet — typically 1–3 minutes.
  • Follow with Waterproofing: Plugging mortar stops the leak but doesn't waterproof the area — follow up with a proper waterproofing system once the surface is dry.

5. How much admixture do I add to my mix?

Dosage rates are always specified by the manufacturer on the product datasheet, usually as a percentage of cement weight or as litres per 50 kg cement bag. Typical ranges: plaster admixtures 0.5–1 L per bag; latex admixtures partial water replacement (20–30%); water-reducers 0.5–2% by cement weight; curing compounds applied at a fixed coverage rate (typically 4–7 m² per litre). Always follow the datasheet — guessing dosages causes set-time problems, strength loss, or cosmetic defects. Our team can help you specify dosage for any product we stock.
