Building & Construction

SoleChem supplies producers of dry-mix mortars, concrete admixtures, sealants and insulation with the raw materials behind their formulations. Cellulose ethers such as Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose and Hydroxyethyl Cellulose control water retention in tile adhesives and renders; Sodium Gluconate retards setting while Calcium Chloride accelerates it; Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate and Sodium Lignosulfonate act as plasticizers in concrete.

The portfolio also covers Sodium Silicate and Potassium Silicate for binders and surface hardeners, Calcium Stearate as a water repellent in mortars, Iron Oxide and Chrome Oxide Green pigments for colored concrete and pavers, and mineral fillers such as Kaolin and Sepiolite. Bulk bags and silo-truck quantities are shipped from Turkey, with palletized stock in Italy and Spain for EU construction-chemical plants.
