    Who We Are

    MATEX Construction Chemicals Manufacturing Co. L.L.C. (MATEX) is a manufacturer of specialty construction chemicals based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with over 12 years in the industry. Products are made at the MATEX factory in Jebel Ali Industrial Area 1, Dubai. The company office is at 1416, IT Plaza, Dubai Silicon Oasis.

    The range covers 212 products in nine categories: Waterproofing, Tile Adhesive and Grouts, Concrete Repair, Industrial Flooring, Protective Coatings, Surface Treatment, Joint Sealant, Anchoring and Grouting, and Mortar Specialities. Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are published on the product pages, with properties reported against ASTM, EN and BS test methods.

    MATEX supplies contractors, applicators, consultants and developers in the UAE and across the GCC. Its products are used on infrastructure, commercial, residential and industrial projects.

    MATEX Construction Chemicals is not affiliated with Matex International Limited (Singapore), a textile-chemicals company.

    Our Mission & Vision

    Mission
    To earn the trust of our clients and partners by manufacturing reliable construction chemicals in the UAE, documenting them with published Technical Data Sheets and Material Safety Data Sheets, and supporting them with practical technical guidance, while upholding integrity and professionalism in every project. To date, that approach has delivered 1,000 completed projects for 300 clients, served from 10 service locations.
    Vision
    To be the construction chemicals manufacturer that UAE and GCC specifiers choose on the strength of verifiable data: products made locally at our Jebel Ali factory, performance reported against recognized ASTM, EN and BS test methods, and a range of 212 products in nine categories, developed with quality, durability and environmental responsibility in mind.

    Our Values

    • Integrity – conducting business with honesty and transparency, earning trust at every level.
    • Innovation & Creativity – developing smarter, more effective solutions to deliver value.
    • Equality & Respect – fostering inclusivity and fairness in all partnerships.
    • Professional Service – listening, understanding, and exceeding customer expectations.
    • Teamwork – collaborating to achieve greater success together.
    • Environmental Responsibility – reducing waste, recycling, and creating eco-friendly products.

    Research & Development (R&D)

    MATEX develops new formulations and refines existing products for UAE and GCC construction. Every product is characterized using recognized international test methods, and the results are published in its Technical Data Sheet (TDS).

    Test methods used across the range

    The methods cited most often in MATEX technical data sheets are:

    • ASTM D412: tensile properties (tensile strength and elongation) of elastomeric membranes and sealants
    • ASTM D4541: pull-off adhesion strength of coatings using portable adhesion testers
    • ASTM C580: flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of chemical-resistant mortars, grouts, monolithic surfacings and polymer concretes
    • ASTM C109: compressive strength of hydraulic cement mortars
    • ASTM D2240: durometer (Shore) hardness
    • ASTM C579: compressive strength of chemical-resistant mortars, grouts, monolithic surfacings and polymer concretes
    • BS 1881: testing concrete
    • EN 12004: classification of cementitious and reaction resin tile adhesives
    • BS 6319: testing of resin and polymer/cement compositions for use in construction
    • ASTM D4060: abrasion resistance of organic coatings by the Taber abraser

    Other methods appear where they apply to a product type, including EN 1504 for concrete repair and protection products, EN 12808 and EN 13888 for tile grouts, and ASTM E96 for water vapor transmission.

    Development priorities

    • Performance: durability and reliability in UAE site conditions.
    • Sustainability: reducing environmental impact through material selection and responsible manufacturing.
    • Project-specific needs: products and systems designed around the requirements contractors and consultants bring to us.

    Published technical data

    Each TDS states typical values next to the test method used, so results can be compared directly with a project specification. Data sheets also give application conditions, coverage, packaging, storage and shelf life, and an MSDS covers safe handling. Where site conditions affect performance, the TDS notes that values may vary with the environment and conditions of the material. For project-specific questions, the MATEX Technical Department can advise.
