Fosroc Hydromax

Hydromax is designed for use as an integral admixture in semi-dry concrete units. It is based on a unique blend of fatty acid salts, organic plasticising agents and hydrophobic materials, supplied as a white chloride-free liquid. Main uses: - The pore blocking properties of Hydromax minimises water transmission and also provides water repellency - Reduced water transmission allows control of unsightly efflorescence on the surface of the concrete units - Water absorption of the finished units is reduced, enabling the units produced to pass the capillary absorption test (CAT) requirements as recommended by UKCSA (United Kingdom Cast Stone Association) - Improves mix rheology allowing better concrete compact-ability - In Cast Stone manufacture assists in the production of products exhibiting superior strength, durability, resistance to weathering and long term aesthetics Advantages: - The pore blocking properties of Hydromax minimises water transmission and also provides water repellency - Reduced water transmission allows control of unsightly efflorescence on the surface of the concrete units - Water absorption of the finished units is reduced, enabling the units produced to pass the capillary absorption test (CAT) requirements as recommended by UKCSA - Improves mix rheology allowing better concrete compact-ability - In Cast Stone manufacture assists in the production of products exhibiting superior strength, durability, resistance to weathering and long term aesthetics - Liquid form, so no dust hazards associated with powdered admixtures - Brand: Fosroc - Technical datasheet available on request.
