Just as with Rakem Ltd and Maker Industrial, Cemkem has a growing reputation as a specialist company working to formulate and meet customer’s requirements or to solve fast setting issues with the outstanding Lithkem and Lithkem Plus.

These products are based on blends of organometallic and metal salts which react synergistically to accelerate the hydration process of both the fast set cements (HAC & CSA) and the Portland cement.
