Non-toxic and inert, this synthetic polymer brings no harm to the environment. The waste product from work using the polymer requires no special treatment or storage.

Main Advantages of Using the Polymer:

  • Non toxic;
  • Inert;
  • Mixing and hydration times lower than 30 minutes;
  • Suitable in saline environments;
  • Easy and fast decantation;
  • High viscosity;
  • Reduces storage space;
  • Clean and Eco-friendly projects;
  • Reduces concrete overbreak.

Wastewater Treatment System

Constantly aware of our environmental responsibility, Brasfond has installed a complete system of wastewater treatment at our operational center, enhancing the reuse of water drained while washing our equipment. As well as reducing consumption, removed oil and grease are then set apart for an eco-friendly finality.
