Chemical & Acid Resistant Products Mozambique

Corrosion Protection for Mozambique’s Sugar, Beverage and Water Sectors

Economical Resistance to Mild Acids and Sulphates.

Durocast: Chemical & Acid Resistant Products for Maputo, Beira and the Sugar Belt

In Mozambique, most chemical attack on concrete is steady rather than violent: acidic juices and wash water in the sugar mills at Xinavane, Maragra, Mafambisse and Marromeu, beer and cleaning chemicals in Maputo and Beira breweries, and sulphate-rich effluent in water and wastewater works.

Durocast (Pty) Ltd exports chemical and acid resistant products to Mozambique from Vereeniging, a short road journey along the Maputo Corridor.

Don’t Pay for Strong-Acid Protection You Don’t Need

Not every corrosive environment needs a strong-acid system. Where the attack comes from acid water around pH 3.5–4.0, sulphates, beer, waste water or organic acids such as lactic and tannic acid, Durocast’s Acicrete 4 range offers the resistance required at lower cost — and it hardens within 12 hours. Strong-acid Acicrete 1S is kept for the areas that genuinely need it.

Products Supplied to Mozambique

Mozambican plants typically use Acicrete 4 for floors, channels and sumps, Aciset 4 mortar for joints and patching, Acispray 4 for gunned linings of tanks and chimneys, Duroshield 60 for heavy-duty mill floors that see sugar, impact and traffic, and Acicrete 1S where strong mineral acids are stored or handled. Full details are on the Chemical & Acid Resistant Products page.

Where Durocast Products Are Used in Mozambique

Sugar-mill process floors — Acicrete 4 toppings against acidic juice and wash water.
Brewery halls and drains — resistant to beer and waste water.
Wastewater channels and sumps — sulphate and acid-water resistance.
Effluent and storage tanks — Acispray 4 linings.
Chemical-store bunds — Acicrete 1S where strong acids are kept.

The Mozambican Industries Durocast Supplies

Safe, Fast and Documented

Acicrete 4 is non-hazardous to install and hardens within 12 hours. Every export includes product data and application instructions, and all products are made at our Vereeniging plant — see our About Us page.

Repairs Timed to the Off-Crop

Sugar-mill floors and drains are best rebuilt during the off-crop maintenance period. Durocast plans orders and road freight so material is on site before maintenance starts, with Acicrete 4’s 12-hour hardening keeping any in-season repairs short.

Why Mozambican Plants Choose Durocast

Cost-effective Acicrete 4 for mild acids and sulphates
Hardens within 12 hours
Strong-acid Acicrete 1S only where it is needed

Which product suits a sugar-mill floor?
Acicrete 4, which resists acid water to pH 3.5–4.0, sulphates, tannic and lactic acid and waste water.

Do I need a strong-acid product for a brewery?
Usually not — Acicrete 4 is resistant to beer and waste water. Acicrete 1S is reserved for strong mineral acids.

How fast can a repaired area be used?
Acicrete 4 hardens within 12 hours.

How are products delivered to Mozambique?
By road from Vereeniging along the Maputo Corridor, with onward delivery to Beira and Sofala.
