1 Cement Additives:
These are chemicals added to cement to improve its properties such as workability setting time and strength. Common types include plasticizers superplasticizers retarders and accelerators.
2 Concrete Admixtures:
These are substances added to concrete before or during mixing. Types include
Water reducers to improve workability
Air entrainers to increase durability in freeze-thaw conditions
Retarders to slow setting time
Accelerators to speed up setting and early strength
3 Waterproofing Chemicals:
Used to prevent water ingress in structures. Types include
Liquid waterproofing membranes
Crystalline waterproofing compounds
Bituminous coatings
Polyurethane based sealants
4 Grouting Compounds:
Used to fill voids and seal joints in tiles or cracks in concrete. These can be epoxy based cementitious or non shrink types.
5 Surface Treatment Chemicals:

Self leveling compounds
Epoxy floor coatings
Cementitious screeds
8 Tile Fixing and Jointing Compounds;
Used for installing and finishing tiles. These include
Tile adhesives
Grouts
Sealants
9 Bonding Agents:
Chemicals used to create a strong bond between old and new concrete or between different materials. They can be latex based or epoxy based.
10 Protective Coatings:
Applied on surfaces to protect from chemicals weather abrasion and corrosion. Examples include
Epoxy coatings
Polyurethane coatings
Anti carbonation coatings
11 Industrial Sealants:
Used to seal joints gaps or cracks. These include silicone polyurethane and polysulfide based sealants.
