Dry-Cast & Masonry Products

ES-2000 is specially formulated for cost efficient production of concrete masonry and pipe units. It has the ability to aid in the dispersion of cement particles to promote better early strengths. Masonry and pipe units manufactured using ES-2000 have a better appearance (medium to heavy swipe depending on materials) and are less abrasive on mold equipment.

ES-2000 may be used wherever increased and improved masonry production is required. It is particularly useful in:

• Concrete block or brick
• Dry-cast concrete pipe
• Paving stones
• Specialty landscape units

LSP-2000 is a highly concentrated plasticizer for low slump concrete pipes and hollow core productions. The formula produces a web on the concrete pipe that has a very smooth texture.

Other low slump concrete products (concrete block and roof tile) to achieve a medium to heavy swipe with LSP-2000.

LSP-2000 is a ready to use liquid that improves workability while maintaining cohesiveness and achieves fuller hydration rates of the cement in low slump concrete mixes.

Features and Benefits

• Improves the surface texture and web of the pipe
• Excellent hollow core performance
• Increases early compressive strengths
• May allow reduced curing time
• Reduces cull rates
• Lubricates the mix causing less abrasion and wear on the mold parts
• Mix compacts more easily and quicker
• color is more uniform
• Increased strengths may allow reduction of cement
• Manufactured products are more dense

WATERPEL-S is a multi-component, liquid water repellant admixture based on a new technology that provides long-lasting resistance to water penetration by reacting to form a very effective water resistant network throughout manufactured concrete products.

When incorporated properly in concrete masonry units, WATERPEL-S has superior water repellency performance based on NCMA TEK 19, spray bar test and ASTM E514 wind driven rain test.

Features and Benefits

• Less maintenance and moisture damage due to integral water repellency
• Inhibits water transmission through hardened cast-in-place concrete
• Less penetration at the surface reduces costs of paint required
• Improves color trueness and consistency
• Reduces mildew and mold growth
• Enhances texture
• Improves aesthetics and appearance
• Controls and reduces efflorescence
