duracure pliolite resin-based PR-C (clear) and Duracure PR-W (white pigmented) are ready-to-use curing agents designed for fresh concrete, mortar, and other cement coatings, conforming to NF 085 and ASTM C309-19 standards.
duracure SBC is a solvent-based clear liquid membrane-forming curing compound that conforms to ASTM C309-19 Type 1 Class B standards. It is used for curing concrete and can be applied by spray, brush, or roller.
duracure white-pigmented resin
duracure WPR is a low viscosity, white-pigmented resin-emulsion curing compound designed for spraying onto concrete surfaces to provide an effective and economical curing method. It conforms to ASTM C309-19 Type 2 Class B standards, ensuring efficient curing with light reflectance to maintain minimal concrete temperature.
duracure wax-based is a low viscosity wax emulsion designed to form a non-penetrating continuous film on cementitious surfaces, preventing excessive water evaporation and allowing efficient cement hydration. It conforms to ASTM C309-19 Type 1 Class A standards and is used to provide a temporary membrane for effective concrete curing.
duracure acrylic is a water-based acrylic emulsion designed for curing concrete. It dries to a colourless, stain-free surface and conforms to ASTM C309-19 standards.
a.b.e. Construction Chemicals provides comprehensive solutions for wastewater treatment works, general construction, concrete repair and protection products.
wallseal is a single-component siloxane waterproofing solution designed to create a water-repellent film of silicone within the capillaries of porous surfaces, preventing discolouration and staining caused by moisture uptake and water-borne contaminants.
super laykold is a rubberised bitumen emulsion designed to be used alongside abe® membrane, forming a liquid waterproofing system that is safe for koi fish. It is recommended for applications including flashings, parapet walls, flat roof waterproofing areas, sealing joints and laps on corrugated roofs, and can even be used in areas of total water immersion.
Super Laycryl® is a highly flexible liquid-applied emulsion reinforced with abe® membrane, delivering a seamless professional waterproofing system suitable for various applications, including flashings, roof waterproofing, re-waterproofing over existing systems, sealing joints and laps on corrugated roofs, with emphasis on non-trafficable roofs.
silvakote is a single-pack solution, pigmented with aluminium and bitumen. It serves as a reflective aluminium paint suitable for metallic, most bituminous, and concrete surfaces. Its advantages include UV resistance, high reflectivity, and ease of application.
silvakote eco is a liquid-applied, high-performance, highly elastomeric finishing coat enhanced with synthetic polymers and solar reflective properties. This environmentally friendly solution is both bitumen and solvent-free, making it safe for applicators. Designed as a green alternative to traditional solvent-based bitumen aluminium paints, silvakote eco is water-based and offers excellent environmental compatibility.
hydroproof offers an all-in-one system, eliminating the necessity for separate primers on porous surfaces. With excellent weathering properties, adhesion, and durability, hydroproof® is tough, flexible, and non-toxic. Choose from a wide array of colours to suit your needs.
duraslurry is a ready-for-use (just add water) Portland cement based waterproofing slurry. It consists of a blend of cements, graded quartz and active chemical constituents. It is supplied as a fine, grey powder.
Bituprime is a bituminous solution formulated with petroleum solvents. It is designed to provide excellent adhesion and sealing properties, making it ideal for various construction applications.
brixeal is a bitumen emulsion waterproofer designed to provide effective waterproofing solutions.
bituseal Plastic is a hydrocarbon solvent-borne, asbestos-free, reinforced bituminous mastic.
duraflex is a ready to use flexible slurry based on a special synthetic resin dispersion and a blend of selected cements mixed with carefully graded aggregate.
abeproof liquid membrane is a single pack, solvent borne, rubberised, liquid applied waterproofing membrane that is highly elastic and durable, requiring low maintenance.
abeproof liquid membrane primer
abeproof liquid membrane primer is a single pack, solvent borne, liquid primer applied to most building substrates.
Product profile a.b.e.® Construction Chemicals was founded in 1932 but started operations in 1939 in Durban as a supplier of bitumen to municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal. a.b.e.® has over the years grown in both size and diversity to become a major supplier of specialised construction products to the building, civil engineering and building maintenance industries, supplying products directly to customers through its branch network as well as through builders’ merchants and hardware stores.
Waterproofing Product Selector
a.b.e.® Construction Chemicals‘ range of waterproofing products and systems include specialised bituminous sheets, liquids, putties, cementitious based products and silanes. Bituminous sheet products are used to waterproof flat roofs, basement walls and to line earth dams and canals. Liquid systems and putties including acrylics, solvent-based bitumens and water-based rubberized acrylic modified bitumens which are used to seal parapet walls, small flat roofs, roof bolts, flashings and ponds. Cementitious slurry products are used to waterproof basements, foundations, tunnels, retaining walls, brickwalls and other underground structures. The silane systems are used to prevent water penetration of brick and natural stone.
a.b.e.® Construction Chemicals’ range of specialised floor coatings are screeds based on bitumen, dry shake cementitious materials, self levelling cementitious screeds, epoxies and polyurethanes. Typical applications are the protection of concrete floors and screeds against wear from traffic abrasion, as well as a range of chemical and thermal shock requirements. Certain products can also be used to provide decorative floor finishes to car showrooms, hardware stores, supermarkets and other retail outlets.
