Features & Benefits
Corrosion Resistant – Makes concrete more cohesive, hence protects steel better against corrosion.
Compatibility – Being a liquid, easily dispersible & compatible with concrete/mortar mixes.
Permeability – It reduces the permeability of water into concrete.
Strength – The setting time and compressive strength of the concrete remain within the specification limits.
Shrinkage – Reduces shrinkage crack development in plaster & concrete.
Workability – Improves workability of freshly mixed cement concrete.
Durability – Increases durability by improving waterproofing of concrete.
Method of Application
Charge cement & aggregates to the concrete mixer as per the mix design, mix in a dry state for 1-2 minutes. Start addition of 75-80% mixing water & mix for 2-3 minutes. Bluemax Addmix(liquid waterproofing)is added as per the recommended dosage into the remaining mixing / gauging water, then add to concrete mixer & mix for another 2 minutes. Place the concrete or apply plaster, as needed. Cure the applied mortar or concrete as per good construction practices.
