Sealants

All concrete roads have got expansion and construction joints and its very important to treat these joints properly to ensure long life of the concrete road. NHAI has prescribed in its most specifications the use of Polysulphide sealant for these joints confirming to BS 5212 standards. FAIRMATE manufactures the sealant confirming to the said standards with the brand name FAIRSEAL. The company has got its product approved from government laboratories and have been supplying the product to various Road Projects accross the nation.

Curing Compounds

Concrete curing is an important aspect to ensure a good quality concrete. Curing is the process of keeping concrete under a specific environmental condition until hydration is relatively complete. Because the cement used in concrete requires time to fully hydrate before it acquires strength and hardness, concrete must be cured once it has been placed. In road projects curing with water is relatively difficult hence various curing compounds are being used for concrete curing. FAIRMATE offers a wide range of curing compounds like chemical curing compounds, wax based curing compounds, white pigment curing compounds & resin alumina based curing compounds with the brand name FAIRCURE and has supplied its products to various Road Projects across the nation confirming to ASTM standards.
