Discover the key raw materials to formulate construction in 2025-26 for the megatrend Efficiency
Efficiency covers formulation trends aimed at reducing extra steps or materials and increasing productivity — reducing weight, temperature curing, formulation costs, faster product processes, curing speed and return to service, saving energy, and utilising higher film thickness and fewer layers.
Focus: Hardening accelerators
They utilise seeding technology to add fine particles to cement mixes, speeding up hydration and hardening. They are essential for composite cements in fast-setting applications like dry mixes, where delays can disrupt project schedules.
