New standards in concrete repair |

Refurbishment accounts for approximately half of the construction work in Europe. An important area is concrete repair - from balconies to bridge piers. Through the integration of Degussa's construction chemicals business, we have gained longstanding expertise in this field.
Concrete can best be repaired with concrete-like material. Almost 30 years ago, this led to the creation of the Emaco® range, Europe's first ready-to-use cement-based repair mortars. With Emaco Nanocrete, we have introduced our first range of products that incorporate nanotechnology: Nanostructures form on hardening, which improves density and adhesion. This makes Emaco Nanocrete more durable than the average repair mortar and less likely to crack. Furthermore, it is easier to use, saving both time and money. Emaco Nanocrete already exceeds the stringent E.U. standard for concrete repair that will come into effect at the end of 2008.
