Why Elemix Additive

Elemix concrete additive is composed of innovative polymeric spheres that have been specially formulated for use in concrete.  This additive distributes uniformly in concrete, providing lighter weight for durable concrete in structural and non-structural concrete applications.
Elemix concrete additive is added during the batching process and distributes uniformly with regular mixing.  Manufactured to exact tolerances, Elemix additive ultimately reduces the verifiability in concrete mixtures, delivering a more consistent batch.
Elemix concrete additive has been successfully used in numerous commercial applications.  Example markets include: ready mix in grouts and fills, poured in place, elevated decks and toppings, and manufactured concrete products, including block and precast building components.

Elemix concrete additive is a global, sustainable solution that offers:

  • Reduced weight by delivering targeted unit weights while achieving structural compressive strengths
  • Improved concrete performance through enhanced thermal properties and resistance to cracking.
  • Increased efficiencies with easy placement, pumping and finishing while reducing building and transportation consts.  
The use of Elemix concrete additive has been found to provide durable concrete in freeze-thaw degradation.  Mixtures using Elemix additive and no traditional air-entraining admixtures have produced durable concrete.

Concrete made with Elemix concrete additive can be placed and finished by traditional methods.
