India: JSW Cement has launched a new set of products in the construction chemicals sector. These will include floor hardeners, waterproofing compounds and readymix plaster. The company’s 0.3Mt/yr chemical plant at Ballari in Karnataka is supporting the move.
Construction Chemicals business head Mubin Hussain said "With advances in green product technologies, this sector will see a dynamic shift from conventional construction mix ratios to extracted by-product engineered compositions. Construction chemicals and dry mix mortars are expected to grow fourfold by the 2025 financial year."
