Admixtures
Admixtures
Admixtures are specialized chemical blends added to concrete to enhance its performance and durability. They modify key properties like setting time, strength, and workability, allowing for tailored solutions to meet diverse construction needs. With types like accelerators, retarders, water reducers, and superplasticizers, admixtures ensure optimal performance in challenging conditions.
- Tailored solutions to meet diverse construction needs.
- Versatile and suitable for a variety of applications.
Transform your construction projects with VARMIX— Our advanced admixtures technology.

Range of Products
Varmix Waterproof (WP PLUS)
Provides integral waterproofing solutions for enhanced durability.
Water proof and damp sealers
VARMIX Waterproof is a silica polymer based water soluble premium concrete additive used for quick setting, strong bonding, arresting cracks, water leakages and it also works as a noncorrosive agent. It will give long lasting durability by not penetrating the Atmospheric dust, rain water into concrete structures. Due to the presence of nano silica polymers, it will reduce more than 90% of porosity inside the structure and seal the surface area.
Application Areas: Slabs, Columns, Beams, water tanks, retaining walls, tunnels, culverts and swimming pools.
Dosage: 200- ml per 50 Kg Cement

Varmix FS Cement Saver
Optimized for precast applications, reducing overall material costs.
Precast and quick settings
VARMIX Cement saver is specially designed for quick setting and high early strength concrete additive helps to de-mould the prefabricated structures quickly. It consumes less curing time and gains maximum strength in one week. High bonding technology will reduce the cracks and damages during the handling time, it consumes less water to gain more strength to the structure.
Application Areas: Precast compound walls, readymade concrete structures, cement poles and other prefab structures.
Dosage: 300 ml per 50 kg Cement
Varmix Latex
Enhances adhesion and flexibility in various concrete applications.
Varmix Latex is based on modified Styrene butadiene latex used for high performance applications in waterproofing and repairs. It is used for repairs of spalled concrete such as – floors, columns, beams, chhajjas, slabs & waterproofing of toilets & bathrooms & terraces. It bonds strongly to old & new concrete & plaster.
