Correct application of construction chemicals to solve problems

“I believe in a future where we interact with our clients, not solely as a supplier, but also as a technical service partners,” says Sunny Surlaker, Head – Admixtures Division, MC-Bauchemie (India)
MC-Bauchemie is one of the leading names in construction chemicals. For the past 25 years, the company has been focusing on the high-tech, high-quality products. In n conversation with ACE Update, Sunny Surlaker shares MC-Bauchemie is working to tap the large infrastructure market.
Adding growth to MC-BauchemieAs the awareness of correct usage of construction chemicals and the market size increases, MC-Bauchemie expects to grow. Also, there is a focus on sustainability and durability, which is a hallmark of its construction chemicals systems. This focus and its ending dedication to technical solutions will help MC-Bauchemie grow and add value to it in India’s fast-growing scenario.
X-FactorsIn the present scenario, construction chemicals are used in virtually every top tier construction segment like industrial, infrastructure and urban building construction. So the market and growth potential for MC-Bauchemie is tremendous. However, the focus among end users has been exclusively on specific materials, prices and guarantees. Also, more often than not, material and applicator capabilities are overestimated, without recourse to sound civil engineering principles, or credentials of the applicators, which may prove detrimental to the structures. These factors move away from “performance criteria” of the materials.
However, MC-Bauchemie estimates that as the trends shift to increasing awareness, these limiting competitive factors will dissolve and focus would only rest on correct application of construction chemicals to solve problems.
