The UK Cement Admixtures Association was founded in 1963 to promote and support the effective use of admixtures in concrete, mortar and grout. Members include all the major companies involved in the development, manufacture and supply of admixtures in the United Kingdom. Several of these companies also have major overseas involvement in admixtures as well as in the supply of other construction chemicals, in 2020 CAA became an Affiliate to the Mineral Products Association.

Full members must operate a third party certified quality management system complying with ISO 9001 and CE and or UKCA Mark for their admixtures.

Associate members include suppliers of raw materials to the full members, suppliers of storage and dispensing equipment. They may not supply admixtures directly to the construction industry.

The CAA Technical committee is active on British and European standards and in the preparation of guidance on the use of admixtures and general concrete technology.

Marketing and technical liaison is maintained through the Mineral Products Association affiliation and CAA provides help to users through phone line advice, training courses and by giving talks and lectures on admixtures and admixture related subjects.
