Sikamix W-10 Water Repellent Admixture 55 Gallon Drum

Sikamix W-10 Water Repellent Admixture 55 Gallon Drum

SikaMix® W-10 is a non-chloride and non-corrosive liquid integral water-repelling admixture for use in concrete masonry units, where zero or very low slump concrete is required.

SikaMix® W-10 is formulated to meet ASTM E 514 Standard test for Water Penetration and Leakage Through Masonry. SikaMix® W-10 contains water repellent additives that chemically react with cement, filling the pores of the concrete unit with water insoluble compound and wetting agents, creating a plasticizing effect that densifies the concrete structure. This reduces water absorption capability of the capillary pores and minimizes migration of the water to the surface from within.

Uses:

Unlike surface applications, SikaMix® W-10 provides water repellency through the entire thickness of the unit while it reduces efflorescence, maintains color intensity, and provides dirt, stain mold, and mildew resistance. SikaMix® W-10 can be successfully used where medium and lightweight concrete is required.

In addition, SikaMix® W-10 improves compaction and densifies the concrete structure, producing a unit with higher compressive strengths, lower absorption, sharper corners and edges, less shrinkage, and better overall appearance. SikaMix® W-10 is also suitable for wet cast applications, as well as in mortar, where water repellency is required.

Advantages:

• Increases water repellency
• Reduces water absorption
• Controls efflorescence
• Improves color intensity
• Densifies concrete
• Increases compressive strength
• Reduces shrinkage
• Improves appearance and production speed
• Provides mold and stain resistance
