The CAA
The CAA is a trade association founded in 1963 and representing over 85% of UK admixture manufactures who are 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.
Admixtures provide enhanced concrete quality, improved durability and deliver cost-benefits to both the producer and the user. The Sustainability and environmental profile of concrete is also enhanced by admixture use.

New Briefs :
-
Admixtures for Sustainable Concrete: Normal Plasticising Admixture use can typically reduce the CO2 by more than 20kg per cubic meter of concrete. Superplasticiser use could more than double this
-
CO2 savings of over 700,000t: The typically savings each year by current admixture use.
-
Environmental, Sustainability, Technical and General information on admixture use, together with Reports and Guidelines can be found on the ‘Publications Page’ of this website.

- CAA reference cement. The requirements for reference cement complying with EN 480 were amended by CEN in 2011 and most UK manufacturers of bulk cement should now be able to provide average quality samples meeting the revised specification. CAA has therefore terminated its sale of certified reference cement complying with EN 480.
