Concrete remains the foundation of modern construction, and masonry blocks are one of its most widely used applications. Yet, producing high-quality hollow blocks isn’t just about cement, sand, and water — it’s about achieving the right balance of workability, moldability, and durability. This is where concrete admixtures make all the difference.
At Costarchem, we have developed innovative admixtures that do more than enhance concrete performance — they also support sustainability. Two of our flagship solutions for block production are Costar Block 10 and Costar Block 20.
Costar Block 10: Biodegradable Innovation for Hollow Blocks
Costar Block 10 is a biodegradable admixture designed specifically for masonry hollow block manufacturing. It ensures a more efficient use of mixing water, resulting in:
-
Enhanced workability and smoother mixes.
-
Improved moldability, ensuring sharper edges and cleaner finishes.
-
Better appearance of masonry units, making blocks more uniform and market-ready.
By choosing Costar Block 10, block makers achieve quality while staying environmentally conscious.
Costar Block 20: Rapid-Setting, Environmentally Friendly Performance
Costar Block 20 is an eco-friendly, rapid-setting admixture formulated for the production of hollow blocks. It helps optimize water usage in the mix, which leads to:
-
Faster setting times for increased productivity.
-
Improved moldability for well-formed, consistent blocks.
-
Enhanced appearance and finish, ensuring blocks meet high visual and structural standards.
For large-scale block production where time and consistency matter most, Costar Block 20 delivers reliable results.
Why It Matters
By integrating Costar Block 10 and Costar Block 20 into block-making operations, producers benefit from:
-
Reduced wastage and optimized water use.
-
Higher quality masonry units with improved durability.
-
Sustainable and environmentally responsible solutions.
At Costarchem, we’re committed to building better — not just in terms of stronger structures, but also smarter, sustainable processes that shapes the future of construction.
