Durocast: Chemical & Acid Resistant Products for Nairobi, Thika, Athi River and Magadi
Kenya’s chemical attack comes from both ends of the pH scale. Tanneries around Thika and Athi River and breweries in Nairobi expose floors and drains to tannic acid, beer and acidic effluent, while soda-ash production at Lake Magadi and caustic cleaning and chemical plants subject concrete to alkalis.
Durocast (Pty) Ltd exports chemical and acid resistant products — and alkali-resistant Alkacrete — to Kenya from South Africa, shipped through Mombasa.
Alkalis Attack Concrete Too
It is easy to assume only acids damage concrete, but strong alkaline solutions and sulphates also degrade ordinary concrete and the reinforcing inside it. Alkacrete is formulated to resist alkalis and sulphates — including NaOH and KOH up to 10% — and passivates steel reinforcing. For the acidic side, Acicrete 4 resists tannic acid, beer, waste water and acid water to pH 3.5–4.0.
Durocast Products for Kenyan Plants
Kenyan orders typically combine Acicrete 4 and Aciset 4 for tannery, brewery and effluent areas, Duroshield 60 for heavy-duty tannery and food-plant floors, Alkacrete for caustic and alkaline process zones, and Acicrete 1S where strong mineral acids are used. Each product is described on the Chemical & Acid Resistant Products page.
Where Durocast Products Are Used in Kenya
- Tannery floors, pits and drains — Acicrete 4 resistant to tannic acid.
- Brewery and beverage halls — floors and channels exposed to beer and cleaners.
- Alkaline process areas — Alkacrete where caustic and soda-ash liquors are handled.
- Effluent treatment — sumps and channels with acid water and sulphates.
- Chemical stores — Acicrete 1S bunds for strong acids.
The Kenyan Industries Durocast Supplies
From the coast to the Rift Valley, Durocast products protect:
- Leather — tanneries in Thika and Athi River.
- Beverages — breweries and bottlers around Nairobi.
- Soda ash and chemicals — alkaline production and storage.
- Food processing — dairy, sugar and edible-oil plants.
- Water and effluent — industrial treatment works.
Shipped With Full Technical Data
With a long supply line, nothing is left to guesswork: every shipment includes product data and application instructions, and Durocast can test samples of your liquor before you specify. Read more on our About Us page.
Choosing Between Acid and Alkali Protection
Some Kenyan plants see both — acid in one area and caustic in the next. Durocast maps each zone’s chemistry and specifies Acicrete, Alkacrete or both, so every floor and drain gets the protection its exposure demands.
Why Kenyan Plants Choose Durocast
- Alkacrete for caustic, alkaline and sulphate attack
- Acicrete 4 for tannic acid, beer and effluent
- Strong-acid Acicrete 1S where required
- Zone-by-zone chemistry mapping
- Sea freight through Mombasa to site
Frequently Asked Questions
Which product suits a tannery floor?
Acicrete 4, which is resistant to tannic acid, waste water, sulphates and acid water to pH 3.5–4.0.
Do you have a concrete for alkaline areas?
Yes — Alkacrete resists alkalis and sulphates, including NaOH and KOH up to 10%, and passivates steel reinforcing.
Can one plant need both acid and alkali protection?
Yes — Durocast maps each area’s chemistry and specifies Acicrete, Alkacrete or both.
How are products shipped to Kenya?
By sea through Mombasa, with onward delivery to Nairobi, Thika, Athi River or other sites.
Where is the complete product list?
