Core offering

MC-Building Chemicals manufactures and supplies specialist construction chemicals for non-disruptive structural waterproofing, concrete repair, and protective coatings targeted at rail, road, marine, subterranean, and high-rise civil engineering infrastructure. Its core products are hydrophobic resin injection systems (hydrostructural elastomer and acrylic gels) applied from the underside of structures, alongside structural repair mortars (Nafufill KM250), crack injection resins, and pH 0-14 chemical-resistant coatings (Ombran CPS). Projects are technically managed end-to-end by in-house engineers.

Product overview

MC-Building Chemicals is a specialist manufacturer of construction chemicals and waterproofing solutions with 60 years of history. The company offers a portfolio of products organised around several core categories: non-disruptive waterproofing solutions (bridge deck, car park, tunnel, concrete, and basement waterproofing using proprietary hydrostructural elastomer gel and acrylic gel injection technology applied from the underside of structures), protective concrete coatings (including Ombran CPS for H2S/corrosion protection and Ombran MHP for chemical resistance), concrete repair systems (featuring Nafufill KM250 structural repair mortar, MC Dur 2700 for wet cracks, MC Injekt Compact/MC Dur 1264 KF for dry cracks), stain resistant and anti-graffiti paints (MC Color Flair Vision ceramic paint systems), and ground stabilisation using resin injection technology. Products are specifically manufactured for rail, road, marine, subterranean, and high-rise civil engineering applications, with technical project management provided throughout all projects.

Products and services

• Bridge Deck Waterproofing Non-disruptive waterproofing solution for bridge decks using hydrostructural elastomer gel injection technology applied from the underside of structures, eliminating the need for road or track excavation.
• Car Park Waterproofing Waterproofing solutions for multi-storey and underground car parks using non-disruptive resin injection technology that maintains car park structure without closure.
• Tunnel Waterproofing Non-disruptive resin injection waterproofing solution for tunnels using hydrostructural elastomer/acrylic gel technology to prevent leakage and water ingress.
• Concrete Waterproofing Concrete waterproofing products for waterproofing joints and service penetrations using hydrostructural elastomer/acrylic gel technology for waterproofing concrete structures and construction joints.
• Basement Waterproofing Products Internal basement waterproofing products and systems using leak sealing elastomer and acrylic gel technology to manage and control water entry in basement structures.
• Ground Stabilisation Europe's leading resin injection technology for stabilising poor/un-compacted ground, lifting floor slabs, and increasing ground bearing capacity using environmentally friendly polymer injection resins.
• Protective Concrete Coatings Protective coatings for bunds, manholes, chambers and concrete/brick fluid containing structures, covering pH range 0-14, particularly effective in subterranean environments against biogenic sulphuric acid corrosion.
• Stain Resistant Paint Systems Exterior and interior paint systems with ceramic properties resisting airborne contamination, bird droppings and graffiti. Includes Color Flare Vision ceramic paint system available in wide range of colours with UV stability.
• Silo Repair Concrete silo repair products (Classes R1-R4) and high performance coating systems for maintaining and extending the life of concrete silo structures.
• Brick Arch Repair Solutions for masonry arch bridges requiring structural repair and strengthening, including concrete repair and waterproofing to prevent further corrosion and damage.
• Structural Concrete Repair Fireproof structural concrete repair solutions for tunnels, bridges, high-rise structures, power station chimneys and jetty environments with discreet aesthetic finish.
• Nafufill KM250 Structural high strength repair mortar with F120 fire certification (120 minutes tunnel fire test) and R4 structural classification. Versatile mortar for repairing damaged structures or fireproofing existing concrete.
• Ombran CPS (Corrosion Protection System) Hybrid silicate-based H2S resistant coating system providing complete protection from biogenous sulphuric acid corrosion. Resistant to full pH range 0-14.
• Ombran MHP Chemical resistant lining system for sealing against contaminated water ingress, particularly for fuel and chemical contamination in culverts.
• MC Dur 2700 Structural crack repair solution for wet cracks in concrete structures.
• MC Injekt Compact and MC Dur 1264 KF Ultra-low viscosity epoxy resin for structural crack repair, capable of penetrating cracks as low as 0.1mm. For dry cracks.
• MC-Injekt 2133 Flex Leak sealing injection resin for arresting flowing water in concrete structures.
• MC Color Flare Vision Ceramic paint system with stain resistant properties, particularly suitable for inaccessible structures exposed to high airborne contaminants. Available in wide range of colours with UV stability.
• MC COLOR System Surface protection system providing carbonation and pollutant protection with decorative finish.

Quantifiable outcome

• H2S corrosion can degrade concrete at up to 25mm per annum in unvented sewage environments; MC's Ombran CPS system prevents this degradation
