Amancrete offers long-lasting renders

01 July 2004

Leading manufacturer of construction chemicals – Aman Construction Chemicals Factory (Amancrete) – claims that its Rocani (one-coat render) stone finish premix plaster is the most suited surface application that has been specially designed to suit the conditions in the region.

“Rocani creates elegant and distinguished exteriors, and is the ultimate in design flexibility,” says a company spokesman. “The render can be used to obtain a long-lasting and highly decorative architectural finish system that can be used on precast and block wall with cement plaster.”
“We are the only manufacturer of Rocani in the Middle East. All our products are produced in a fully-automated factory in Riyadh under strict and continuous quality control, and in close research and development co-operation with Rocani, one of the largest manufacturers of similar products in Spain. Rocani plaster is manufactured based on the advanced drymix technology and using carefully selected raw materials supplied by Rocani.
“Our premix plaster is specially designed for the climatic conditions prevalent in the region and contains additives and different kinds of fibre to improve consistency, adhesion, setting, workability, waterproofing, insulation and resistance to high temperatures. This product offers superior quality and higher productivity with cost-effectiveness, and the assurance of a perfect facade,” he says.
The durability and beauty of Rocani has been proven across the region from the humid and blistering summers in the Middle East, to the freeze-thaw cycles and wind-driven rain in the north Asia. Across the climatic vagaries, there is no fading in final colour and it resists salts such as chloride and soleplate, he says.
Established in 1998, Amancrete has grown rapidly to become one of the successful factories in Saudi Arabia that is dedicated to research, production and distribution of various products for the construction industries, says the spokesman.
Amancrete has successfully supplied a wide range of its products to a number of projects in most GCC countries and has exported it to more than 12 countries.
“We have a dedicated team of highly qualified and experienced professionals who have earned a reputation for delivering high-quality products and services. Our focus has been on the high-performance cement-based architectural-finishing materials and we offer a wide range of products such as: colour texture concrete, floor hardeners, tile adhesives and grouts, bonding agents, waterproofing materials, plasters and renders, concrete admixtures, anti-dust mortars, self-levelling compounds and concrete repair mortars – many of them available in variety of colours,” he says.
The company has built its business with a simple philosophy – providing customers with affordable quality finishing products, which are specially developed to meet the demanding conditions of the Middle East. “We try to pass on to our customers all the benefits that have come from our position as market leaders,” he says.
Over the years the company has manufactured and supplying stamped concrete products for projects with total areas exceeded two million sq m.
