Member of EFCA - The ‘European Federation of Concrete
Admixture Associations’
www.efca.info
WELCOME
The CAA is a trade association representing over
85% of UK admixture manufacture and is committed to offering the
highest standards of product quality and support.
Admixtures are specially formulated products that are added in
small amounts to concrete, mortar or grout during the mixing process
in order to modify the concrete properties in the plastic and /
or hardened state.
These varied and versatile products provide enhanced concrete quality
and deliver cost-benefits to both the producer and the user.
Durability, sustainability and environmental profile can all be
enhanced by admixture use.
