Buddy Rhodes Admixtures & Modifiers is a specialized category of raw materials designed to enhance the performance, curing traits, and durability of artisanal concrete mixes. When combined with Portland cement and sand, these raw materials modify the baseline characteristics of concrete to meet demanding architectural and artisan standards.
The catalog features 11 distinct items that serve two core functions:
Admixtures: Added to improve structural strength, workability, and long-term durability.
Modifiers: Formulated to control and delay the initial curing process or inject high acid resistance into the final mix.
Key Products & Components Available:
Mix-Specific Admixtures: Solutions optimized for advanced concrete designs, specifically GFRC Admixture (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) and ECC Admixture (Engineered Cementitious Composite).
Polymers & Binders: Advanced curing agents including Liquid Polymer Plus, Powdered Polymer 1210 Dry, and the widely used Forton VF-774 system, which aid in water retention, strength development, and flexibility.
Specialty Cements & Pozzolans: CSA Cement for fast setting and high early strength, alongside VCAS 160 Pozzolan, which improves long-term durability and ecological footprint.
Additives & Performance Enhancers: Specialized chemicals like SRA 101 (Shrinkage Reducing Admixture), WE 101, and sealing modifiers like UltrasealZ (Regular & ZFRC).
This category is essential for concrete professionals and artisans building high-performance countertops, furniture, and vertical elements.
Engineered for high ductility and tensile capacity, this mix bends before breaking.
Final step in the ICT sealing system.
Water-based sealer for concrete surfaces.
Enhance concrete mixes with this polymer-modified blend for strength and durability.
UV-resistant acrylic co-polymer for GFRC. The world-wide standard concrete additive for making lightweight GFRC, Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete, panels.
Enhances concrete workability and strength.
