In Equatorial Guinea, the construction sector faces unique challenges due to extreme precipitation and high humidity. The reliance on standard cementitious materials often leads to premature cracking and shrinkage, creating a critical demand for a high-quality gypsum retarder chemical to precisely control setting times during the casting process in humid coastal cities like Bata and Malabo.
The local market is currently shifting towards sustainable additives. The integration of recycled components, specifically exploring Rubber powder uses in asphalt and concrete mixtures, is becoming a priority to improve the elasticity and durability of road infrastructures subjected to heavy tropical rainfalls.
Despite the growth in infrastructure, there is a technical gap in the application of specialized polymers. The adoption of advanced reinforcement, such as polypropylene fiber, is essential to mitigate the thermal expansion effects common in the region's non-metallic mineral products industry.
