Ready-mix concrete Good connections have to be solid Architectural masterpieces like bridges, high-rise buildings, and dams require the highest standards of engineering. Our admixtures add to concrete what it takes to meet these standards: intelligence. Bridge over the Great Belt, Nagoya Dome, Japan. Denmark. Intelligent concrete Fully covered sports Rosenthal Center, Cincinnati/ arena with 40,500 seats when exposed to wind, rain concrete from BASF – the material of choice for demanding architectural Admixture Systems cuts a catching figure even

Tatara Bridge, Japan. Cable-stayed bridge with a Bridges, for example, are strained not only by road traffic: winds, climate changes, currents, and the tides put additional stress on material and construction, as do the aesthetic requirements of architects and constructors. There is only one material that can meet all these requirements in civil engineering: steel reinforced concrete. It combines the elasticity of steel with the solidity of concrete. Our concrete admixtures make it the perfect material. increasing application time and ease of use; they cure the concrete instantly at the...

Precast concrete The silent revolution The Zero Energy System (ZES) lowers the costs of manufacturing precast concrete elements, sets new ecological standards, improves working conditions – and in doing so has even surpassed the expectations of the market. Long construction times are expensive, exceeded deadlines even more. Precast concrete elements are the solution: assembly of the prefabricated parts at the building site is quick and fairly independent of weather conditions. Precast concrete elements make planning easier, accelerate the construction process, and are suitable for...

The Zero Energy System™ has completely revolu­tion­ized the manufacture of precast concrete elements ecologically, economically and ergonomically. Higher productivity and an improved working Zero Energy System. Working without vibration and steam. ZES precast elements. Same-day removal from mould. Admixture Systems

Manufactured Concrete Products Superior quality on a large scale Manufactured concrete products require utmost accuracy during the production process. Our products and services do not just raise the concrete itself to the highest level of quality, but the production process as well. Concrete on the roof? A good choice. Roof tiles made from concrete are just as reliable as the traditional ones. The same is true for concrete paving stones, concrete pipes, or concrete panels. However, the production of manufactured concrete products on a large scale and in an almost indefinite variety of...

Made possible by tailor-made admixtures from BASF: concrete tubes are pressed into shape and retain their exact form without the aid of a mold. Mass produced goods, individual production process. too, can be expected to be of superior quality. Admixture Systems

Answers to probing questions Our products – a breakthrough for underground and mining projects even under adverse geological conditions. Rock-face sealing using sprayed concrete with accelerators and polymers from BASF Construction Chemicals.

Multifunctional special systems support the machines and protect people. Our comprehensive system solutions enable tunnel boring machines to perform optimally under all kinds of geological conditions. Those who dig below the ground have to take surprises into account. Possible complications can rarely be anticipated, and rock and soil often harbor unexpected obstacles. While in the past entire projects could be at stake, today, thanks to BASF technologies and systems, the previously unthinkable has become possible. Take tunnels, for example: an underground connection is faster and more...

On firm ground A broad portfolio of building systems products ensures smooth tiling and perfect adhesion for tiles in bathrooms and spas. Functionality and atmosphere must be complementary. Like, for example, in spas and indoor swimming pools. Bathers want to have fun. Thus, designs get increasingly imaginative. At the same time, quality requirements rise and the implementation gets ever more demanding. Whereas swimmers have an eye for attractive surroundings, cleanliness, and smooth surfaces, construction experts look beneath the ceramic linings. Tailored tile mortars for all kinds of...
