Concrete Repair & Protection Products
a.b.e.® Construction Chemicals’ range of concrete repair products is based on epoxies, synthetic resins, silanes and cementitious materials.
Applications include flexible slurries and coatings for protecting and waterproofing the concrete of bridges, silos, building and water containment structures against attack from their environment, a complete system for the rehabilitation of spalled concrete and fast setting patching mortars.
