Sampyo Industry Receives Positive Response for Differentiated Special Concrete On-site

"Development of Products Using Proprietary Technology and Eco-Friendly Materials, Reflecting On-Site Needs" Key

Specialty concrete products from Sampyo Industrial, reflecting changes in the construction environment and customer needs, are gaining positive responses in the market.

According to Sampyo Industrial, a leading affiliate of the construction basic materials specialist Sampyo Group, the 'Bluecon Keep Slump' concrete currently applied on sites is attracting attention from client companies.

Co-developed with Hyundai Construction, this product features an extended workable time compared to regular ready-mixed concrete, allowing consistent construction performance. While regular ready-mixed concrete hardens and becomes unusable 90 minutes after production, this product maintains high quality even at an average daily temperature of 35 degrees Celsius and extends the usable time up to 3 hours.

The 'Bluecon Rain OK,' which does not affect quality even when poured on rainy days, is also popular. This product prevents the separation of cement and aggregates even when the concrete is washed by water, enabling pouring during rainfall. Sampyo Industrial held a demonstration at its technology research center in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, last July, completing performance tests and safety verification.

The 'Bluecon Speed,' designated as a new disaster safety technology by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, is also highly favored on-site. Applying this product, which increases initial compressive strength during winter and spring/autumn seasons, can solve the problem of insufficient concrete strength, a common cause of collapse accidents. Typically, constructing one floor of an apartment frame in winter takes about 8 to 9 days, but using this product can reduce the required time by 1 to 2 days or more.

Other products consistently receiving positive feedback on-site include 'Bluecon Winter,' which can be poured even at minus 10 degrees Celsius; 'Bluecon Floor,' a high-performance floor concrete that solves issues such as cracking and curling (edge lifting); and 'Bluecon Self,' a self-compacting type that requires no separate compaction work.

Customized mortar products are also being introduced. Mortar is a construction material pre-mixed with cement, sand (aggregate), and admixtures (slag, fly ash), which can be used immediately on-site by simply adding water. Its advantages include improved construction quality, shortened construction periods, and reduced labor costs, leading to increased demand.

This year, Sampyo Industrial expanded its product lineup from 15 to 30 types, broadening consumer choices by launching products such as tile finishing materials, resin plaster mortar, mortar adhesion enhancers, tile pressing (for heating and walls), tile bond (acrylic), tile epoxy, and admixtures (for pointing and plastering), which have recently seen growing demand.

A Sampyo Industrial representative stated, "We are continuously conducting research and development to improve concrete quality and develop products using eco-friendly materials based on our proprietary technology," adding, "We will continue to do our best to provide differentiated brand experiences to customers through new product development that reflects the needs of construction sites."
