Sika expands production capacity for concrete admixtures in the US. In the US state of Texas, the construction chemicals company announced in a statement on Thursday that the production of polymers needed to produce concrete mix from sika is being expanded again.

Sika is expanding capacity due to growing demand in the US and Canada, fueled by large subsidy programs from the US government. Investments in major infrastructure projects and expansion will be increased to strengthen infrastructure and combat climate change. Power and water systems are said to have been built.

In addition, shifting international manufacturing to the United States is encouraging the construction of new industries, particularly in the battery and semiconductor industries. Compared to other industrialized nations, U.S. demand for concrete admixtures is expected to grow the fastest, reaching an annual growth rate of 3.4 percent to $3.6 billion by 2026, Zika wrote.

Concrete is in high demand

This creates a high demand for concrete. Sika’s concrete admixture significantly reduces water consumption in concrete production, the company wrote. The admixture improves the strength and longevity of concrete through added structural density and reduced porosity, which reduces resource and clinker consumption. (awp sda)
