SNF products are present in many civil engineering projects:
The selection of the right ingredients is a key point in formulator expertise. SNF products provide water release control and rheology (flow, texture, fluidity, anti-sagging). Our products help formulators meet customer specifications and challenges, among numerous segments such as mortars, renders, flooring, concrete, sealants, and adhesives.

Due to rapid depletion of natural sand deposits, sand aggregates in construction formulations are now “manufactured sands.” While the crushing process drives grading and shape, clay mineralogy of source rock dictates fines properties. SNF provides solutions to overcome fines deleterious impacts on concrete and mortar performance.
More on Increased Value at Local SandsSNF products are designed to interact or react with soil and water. They provide consolidation, waterproofing, and fluid loss reduction in various applications. The SNF R&D team designs tailor-made formulations to meet customer requirements.

SNF provides solutions for underground projects, from front shield to mud conditioning, transportation, and waste management. Our products ensure that tunneling operations run at peak efficiency while minimizing waste. SNF civil engineering experts are always available to support operations through to completion.
More on Tunneling and DrillingIn supplying customized drilling polymers and additives, we assist in handling the most difficult soil conditions. Our products are designed to optimize both the performance and cost of drilling operations.
More on Deep Foundations
Alongside each drilling project, there are needs for security, environment, regulatory compliance, and effectiveness. Our performance additives are designed to fulfill customer requirements and improve operator safety.
More on Performance AdditivesReduced reserves of high-quality bentonite and unequal distribution of resources push bentonite producers to add polymers to guarantee viscosity and yield without damaging filtrate. With our global manufacturing locations, we provide polymers everywhere to help bentonite to meet drilling mud specifications (viscosity, yield, and filtrate).
