Manufactured in the U.K. in collaboration with our partners in the United States, Krete Industries.

Krete Industries offer high end admixtures for the concrete industry. In addition to the manufacturing and research facilities in Wisconsin, Krete has five stocking warehouses located throughout the U.S.A.

Krete is also a long time member of several industry associations including: the National Concrete Masonry Association, the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute, the Architectural Precast Association, the National Precast Concrete Association, the American Concrete Pipe Association, and the Cast Stone Institute.

KreteMix 110

A concentrated concrete admixture designed to offer plasticising action whilst offering increased water use in semi dry concrete products.

KreteMix 150

A concentrated, swipe producing concrete admixture designed to improve the workability of semi dry concrete mixes. Krete Mix 150 provides plasticising action, allowing for faster machine processing times, higher batch water use, as well as improved densities and textures of resulting concrete masonry units.

KreteSuperPlast 700

A high performance concrete admixture to offer high range water reduction, plasticising action and densification in self compacting concrete.

KreteSuperPlast 710

A high performance concrete admixture designed to offer superior plasticising action, high range water reduction and densification in wet cast concrete products.

KreteControl 205

A 100% active non–swipe producing concrete admixture designed to offer plasticising action, and both primary and secondary efflorescence control in semi dry concrete products. Possessing unique reactive chemistry, Krete Control 205 will provide excellent efflorescence protection at low dosage rates.

KreteControl 290

A 100% active concrete admixture designed to offer plasticising action, and both primary and secondary efflorescence control in semi dry concrete products. Possessing unique reactive and chemisorptive chemistry, KreteControl 290 will provide superior efflorescence protection in concrete block, pavers, roof tiles and retaining wall units at low dosage rates.

KreteGuard 230

A concrete admixture possessing unique reactive chemistry, designed to provide integral water repellency, and both primary and secondary efflorescence control in semi dry concrete products.

KreteGuard 250

A non-aqueous admixture, designed to offer integral water repellency and primary & secondary efflorescence control in semi dry & precase concrete products.

KreteGuard 320

An aqueous, multi functional admixture designed to offer integral water repellency and both primary and secondary efflorescence control in semi dry concrete products.

KreteAir 800

An aqueous solution of Vinsol Resin designed to provide air entrainment in precast concrete products.

KreteAir 850

A highly concentrated, synthetic concrete admixture designed to provide air entrainment. Possessing synergistic chemical constituents, KreteAir 850 will provide superior air entrainment performance in comparison to traditional air entraining technologies.

KreteXcel 500

A highly concentrated, non-chloride cement hydration accelerator for wet cast concrete applications.

KreteXcel 510

A highly concentrated, non-chloride cement hydration accelerator for concrete, offering effective plasticising action to additionally improve mix workability.
