Construction

The fabric of the construction environment across Africa is undergoing dynamic transformation, with rapid urbanisation, demographic growth, a need for housing and critical infrastructure.

We work with partners across a range of sub segments to deliver performance optimised formulations and solutions based on specific requirements and contexts.

 

From the paint for coating of new buildings – which must withstand intense heat and extreme weather conditions – to  concrete and cement additives to build resilience against increasing temperatures, our end-market experts respond to our customers evolving needs.

We focus on inputs and products across key areas including:

  • Silicones & sealants
  • Concrete additives
  • Paint additives
  • Demoulding additives
  • Pigments

 

We are innovating across critical inputs in the construction segment through:

  • Bespoke formulation assistance and application testing
