Concrete plasticizers

Sulphonated melamine-formaldehyde resins are used as plasticizers in concrete to improve the flow characteristics increasing water content.

The impressive bridge that links Sweden and Denmark across the Øresund contains MelaminebyDSM™ as a plasticizer to improve concrete flow characteristics.

Just as DSM Melamine symbolizes the binding force between customer and application, this bridge symbolizes the social, cultural and economic forces that bind these two nations together.
