Concrete Additives and Chemicals

What Concrete Additives and Chemicals does

Concrete Additives and Chemicals (CAC) is an Indian specialty chemicals manufacturer founded in 2008, headquartered in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. The company develops, manufactures, and supplies concrete admixtures and construction chemicals to B2B customers in India's infrastructure sector. CAC's portfolio spans nine product categories — PCE-based and SNF-based superplasticizers, underground construction admixtures (shotcrete accelerators, rock stabilization agents, polyurethane foams), curing compounds, cement additives, integral waterproofing systems, repair mortars, sealants, and densified microsilica — totaling over 50 distinct product lines. Formulations are derived from polymers manufactured in-house, allowing the company to tailor chemistry to project-specific requirements rather than resell generic admixtures.

CAC operates four manufacturing facilities strategically positioned across India (Navi Mumbai, Roorkee, Kolkata, Chennai) supported by four R&D labs, and sells directly to large infrastructure contractors and project developers. The customer base includes Larsen & Toubro, Tata Projects, Afcons Infrastructure, NCC, MEIL, HCC, Ashoka, Kalpataru, ACC, Nuvoco, Ramco Cements, Lodha, and Oberoi Realty, among over 100 enterprise customers across more than 1,000 completed projects spanning tunnels, metro rail, airports, expressways, ports, hydroelectric power, nuclear power, and real estate. The business model is direct enterprise field sales with quote-based pricing, supplemented by industry event participation (e.g., World of Concrete India 2026) and corporate website outreach. The company has begun limited international execution, supplying admixtures for the Male to Thilafushi Bridge in the Maldives via Afcons Infrastructure. Ownership is founder/management-led with no disclosed external funding, acquisitions, or recapitalizations.
