The Euclid Chemical Company markets and distributes concrete and masonry products and additives.
or Give us a Call
Product Summary
Euclid Chemical products are marketed under the Euco, Eucon, Dural®, Speed Crete®, Baracade®, Increte and Tamms brand names.
Construction and Materials
Euclid Chemical offers a range of masonry and concrete products designed for various applications. These products fall into categories such as waterproofing, grout, additives, bonding agents/adhesives, aggregates, cures/sealers, fillers/sealants, dampproofing, and coatings. Each category addresses specific needs in the construction and maintenance of concrete and masonry structures.
Product Categories and Their Materials/Construction
- Waterproofing: These products are formulated to prevent water penetration into concrete and masonry. Materials commonly include cementitious compounds, acrylic polymers, silanes, siloxanes, and integral crystalline waterproofing admixtures. The construction of these waterproofing systems can range from applied membranes and coatings to integral admixtures that react with water and concrete to form a barrier.
- Grout: Euclid Chemical's grouts are used for filling voids, anchoring, and structural repairs. They are typically cement-based, often incorporating polymers, fine aggregates, and specialized additives to control shrinkage, improve flowability, and enhance strength. Epoxy-based grouts are also available for high-strength and chemical-resistant applications, utilizing epoxy resins and hardeners.
- Additives: These are used to modify the properties of fresh or hardened concrete. Common materials include plasticizers and superplasticizers (to improve workability and reduce water content), air-entraining agents (for freeze-thaw resistance), accelerators and retarders (to control setting time), and shrinkage-reducing admixtures.
- Bonding Agents / Adhesives: Used to create a strong bond between new and old concrete, or between concrete and other materials. Materials often include acrylic latex polymers, epoxy resins, and cementitious bonding compounds. The "construction" involves creating a surface that promotes mechanical and chemical adhesion.
- Aggregates: While not a finished product in itself, Euclid Chemical may supply or specify the use of specific aggregates as components in their broader product systems, influencing the strength, durability, and texture of the final concrete or masonry work.
- Cures / Sealers: These products are applied to fresh concrete to aid in the hydration process (curing) or to protect hardened concrete from staining, water absorption, and chemical attack (sealing). Curing compounds can be resin-based (acrylics, alkyds) or wax-based, forming a temporary membrane. Sealers utilize materials like silanes, siloxanes, acrylics, and epoxies to penetrate the surface or form a protective film.
- Fillers / Sealants: Used to fill cracks, joints, and spalls in concrete and masonry. Materials vary widely depending on the application, including polyurethane-based sealants for flexible joints, epoxy-based fillers for structural repairs, and cementitious patching compounds.
- Dampproofing: Similar to waterproofing but typically designed to resist moisture vapor transmission rather than standing water. Materials often include asphalt-based emulsions, polymer-modified cementitious coatings, and synthetic membranes.
- Coatings: Applied to concrete and masonry surfaces for aesthetic purposes, protection, or to impart specific properties like chemical resistance or slip resistance. These can be epoxy coatings, polyurethane coatings, acrylic coatings, or cementitious overlays, each utilizing specific resin systems, pigments, and fillers.

Mapei's installation products include coatings, sealers, mortars and underlayments to level and smooth interior and exterior construction surfaces.
or Give us a Call
Product Summary
Mapei's installation products include coatings, sealers, mortars and underlayments to level and smooth interior and exterior construction surfaces.
Construction and Materials
MAPEI offers a range of products designed for masonry and concrete applications. These categories include mortars, colorants/pigments, waterproofing solutions, masonry repair and restoration products, underlayments, additives, and aggregates. Each product within these categories is formulated with specific materials and construction techniques to meet the demands of various construction and repair projects.
Within the Mortar category, MAPEI provides products such as tile and stone mortars, masonry mortars, and specialty mortars. These are typically composed of portland cement, fine aggregates (like sand), and various polymers and additives. The specific blend of these materials determines the mortar's properties, such as its workability, bond strength, flexibility, and water resistance. For instance, polymer-modified mortars often include redispersible polymer powders that enhance adhesion and flexibility, making them suitable for tiles that experience movement or temperature fluctuations. Masonry mortars are generally simpler formulations designed for bonding brick, block, and stone, focusing on strength and durability.
The Colorants/Pigments offered by MAPEI are used to add integral color to cementitious products like mortars, concrete, and stucco. These are typically inorganic pigments, such as iron oxides and chromium oxides, which are known for their stability and resistance to UV light and weathering. They are finely ground to ensure uniform dispersion within the mix, providing consistent and long-lasting color. The concentration of pigment used directly affects the final color intensity.
MAPEI's Waterproofing solutions encompass a variety of materials designed to prevent water penetration. These can include liquid-applied membranes, cementitious coatings, and integral waterproofing admixtures. Liquid-applied membranes are often elastomeric polymers, such as acrylics or polyurethanes, which form a seamless, flexible barrier when cured. Cementitious coatings are typically a blend of cement, fine aggregates, and polymers, which are mixed with water to create a slurry that hardens into a waterproof layer. Admixtures are added directly to concrete or mortar mixes and work by blocking pores within the material, reducing its permeability.
For Masonry Repair & Restore, MAPEI provides products like patching compounds, repair mortars, and grouts. These materials are engineered to match the properties of existing masonry, including strength, texture, and color. Repair mortars often utilize specialized cements, aggregates, and admixtures to achieve a rapid set, low shrinkage, and excellent bond to the substrate. Restoration products may also incorporate fibers to improve tensile strength and crack resistance.
Underlayments from MAPEI are used to create a smooth, level surface over existing concrete floors before installing finished flooring like tile, carpet, or vinyl. These products are typically self-leveling or trowel-applied and are composed of cementitious binders, fine aggregates, and advanced polymers. The polymers enhance flowability, strength, and adhesion, while the fine aggregates ensure a dense, durable surface. Some underlayments are designed for rapid drying to accommodate quick project timelines.
Additives in MAPEI's portfolio are used to modify the performance characteristics of cementitious materials. This category can include accelerators, retarders, plasticizers, and air-entraining agents.
- Accelerators speed up the setting and hardening of cementitious mixtures.
- Retarders slow down the setting time, which is useful in hot weather or for longer working times.
- Plasticizers increase the workability and flow of the mix without adding more water, thereby increasing strength and durability.
- Air-entraining agents introduce microscopic air bubbles into the mix, improving resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and deicing salts.
Finally, Aggregates are fundamental components in many cementitious products, providing bulk, strength, and texture. MAPEI may offer specialized aggregates, such as precisely graded sands, small stones, or lightweight aggregates, used in specific mortar, concrete, or underlayment formulations to achieve desired performance attributes like density, thermal insulation, or specific finish characteristics.
