DUBAI -- The Building Products Division of Khansaheb Civil Engineering L.L.C. has joined forces with Ardex to bring an innovative cement technology to Dubai.

Spearheading the new technology is the Ardex "Rapidry-Aqua Lock" Formula which chemically binds mixing water within the mortar, thus reducing drying times for screeds/smoothing compounds and eliminates the risk of water staining in natural stone tiles.

This and other product developments by Ardex have been recognised by the Vienna Economic Council, whose recent study listed Ardex among the "Top 100 companies for innovative performance in 2005".

This new venture is part of Khansaheb's ongoing development programme, which aims to continually improve the quality of products and services it provides its customers and Ardex's reputation for product innovation will certainly make a major contribution to these aims.

Keith Ridgway, Executive Director of Khansaheb said: "We are delighted to have formed this association with Ardex, the quality of their products make them eminently suitable for use in the UAE."
