Water repellent admixture for concrete

Key Attributes.

Water Repellent Admixture for Concrete MNC-D1 Description MNC-D1 is a stable dispersion of stearate and other water repellent compounds that is added into ready mixed concrete during mixing. MNC-D1 is a ready-to-use, factory prepared powder that will simplify handling and eliminate guesswork. It meets the requirements of the following chemical admixture specifications for concrete JC474-1999. Uses Architects, engineers, contractors, and other authorities agree that even good quality concretes, mortars, etc. that are properly placed, set or applied then cured, are inherently porous or permeable to water. The free passage of moisture occurs in pores formed during and after placing. MNC-D1 forms an internal barrier against water transmission in mixes used for ready mixed or precast concrete. Advantages The addition of MNC-D1 will reduce the amount of water that permeates through the concrete. Reducing the passage of water will provide beneficial advantages by Increasing resistance to weathering wetting and drying freezing and thawing. Increase resistance to chemical attack Reduce the potential for efflorescence Reduce the probability of corrosion of embedded metal Improved Product Quality Higher quality concrete will result from the use of MNC-D1. The workability of mixes will be improved especially in low cement content concrete mixes. The protection of embedded steel and resistance to bacteria or fungus growth may also be increased by keeping the concrete drier.
