# Construction chemicals: Relationships

Source page: https://www.materialinsights.org/chemicals/construction_chemicals/links/

Every element and industry that Construction chemicals is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.

- [Cement](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/cement-and-construction-chemicals/): Construction chemicals and cement are used together: admixtures are dosed into cement-based concrete to cut water and cement, grinding aids go into cement itself, and many tile adhesives and repair mortars are cement-based products. Their makers share the same construction demand, and admixtures are one of the main tools for lowering cement, and so CO2, per cubic metre of concrete. *(researched)*
- [Construction and infrastructure](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/construction-and-infrastructure-and-construction-chemicals/): Construction chemicals are a small dose with a large effect: admixtures added at well under 2% of cement weight decide how concrete flows, sets and lasts, so their makers' volumes rise and fall with building and infrastructure activity. *(researched)*
