Construction Chemicals

CIRCOSIL®

CIRCOSIL® is a lightweight filler with a diverse property profile,
which has been used in numerous dry mortar products for decades. Tile adhesive, reinforcing mortar, plaster, or filler formulations are application examples where CIRCOSIL® is a raw material and an integral part of complex construction chemical formulations.

Consistent product quality is ensured through our synthetic manufacturing process. Mined minerals are subject to natural quality fluctuations, which can negatively impact complex construction chemical formulations. Properties of our CIRCOSIL® - such as particle size, pore radius distribution, crystallization, or whiteness are continuously analyzed and monitored by our R&D experts.

Areas of Application

Tile Adhesives

CIRCOSIL® supports rapid and uniform binder hydration as a seeding crystal in cement hardening. Especially in ternary cement systems, the formation of ettringite, responsible for early strength, is accelerated. Using heat flow calorimetry and ultrasonic measurements, we were able to demonstrate that CIRCOSIL® significantly accelerates the formation of ettringite in OPC/CAC, OPC/CSA, and mixed systems with CEMII.

Due to its constant, non-compressible pore volume, CIRCOSIL® an excellent water retention agent. The combination of seeding crystal effect and water retention has a significant influence on the clinker reaction of the cement system and leads to a more uniform hardening reaction.

Especially for products with increased requirements, CIRCOSIL proves to be® as a technically multifunctional prodigy: no shrinkage, improved slip resistance, optimal through-hardening, early walkability, high yield, improved processing properties, and much more.

Restoration Plasters

Building in existing structures and renovating damaged building fabric are playing an increasingly important role in construction. Restoration plasters are the flagship in restoration.

CIRCOSIL® its porosity contributes to a high air void content, facilitates processing, and supports stability at higher layer thicknesses. We recommend ® or ® for the production of high-performance restoration plaster systems.

These products are particularly suitable for coating salt-laden surfaces, as the dissolved harmful salts crystallize out in CIRCOSIL's pore structure.® auskristallisieren.

Mineral Decorative Renders

Its high degree of whiteness makes CIRCOSIL an ideal structural aggregate for decorative renders.® zu einer idealen Strukturkörnung für Edelputze.

Depending on the desired texture, we recommend the CIRCOSIL structural aggregates® Coarse grain, ® or for finely structured surfaces ® for felting or rubbing. Our CIRCOSIL®- grain sizes can be freely combined into decorative structures, even with ® combine excellently. Whether your focus is on highly efficient or functional decorative renders, CIRCOSIL® does more than meets the eye.

Thanks to its defined porosity, CIRCOSIL® for a balanced moisture balance, so the facade doesn't have to worry about moisture.

Lime-cement lightweight renders and ETICS adhesive mortars

CIRCOSIL® is typically used here as a functional filler of quality ® or  CIRCOSIL® used in the particle size distribution. Quantities are approximately 5 – 15% based on the solid formulation.

CIRCOSIL® ensures uniform, low-stress hardening, virtually independent of binder quality and substrate condition. The yield and fresh mortar performance of your formulations are significantly improved. CIRCOSIL® can be ideally combined with other, e.g., organic fillers and construction chemical additives.

self-leveling compounds

Here, the use of ® beneficial. CIRCOSIL® its rheological property helps optimize heavy aggregate segregation, thus contributing to uniform layer formation. CIRCOSIL provides uniform setting and moisture management.® inclusive.
