PLASTICIZING/EFFLORESCENCE CONTROLLING/ WATER-REPELLENT ADMIXTURE
EUCON HYDRAPEL 2.5 is a multi-functional, high-performance admixture developed for concrete masonry and other applications. This highly efficient, silicone polymer-based admixture greatly increases mix water tolerance by reducing concrete stickiness. When added to the mix, HYDRAPEL 2.5 quickly disperses and chemically bonds to the concrete upon curing. As a result, concrete performance in general and freeze-thaw durability in particular is vastly improved. HYDRAPEL 2.5 is also a qualified HYDRAPEL SYSTEM component for water repellent-specified masonry construction.
Features & Benefits
- Uniquely increases water tolerance, cement efficiency, production rate, & color vibrancy
- Markedly improved material flow maximizes density, strength, & product consistency
- Increased density reduces absorption, efflorescence potential, & freeze-thaw degradation
- Superior water repellency protects masonry from wind-driven rain, adds color integrity
- Slower wetting and quicker drying of concrete products will inhibit growth of mold and mildew
Applications
- Pavers and patio products
- Segmental retaining wall units
- Concrete block and brick
- Manufactured stone veneer and decorative precast
- Concrete roof tiles
- Cast stone
Specifications / Compliances
