Description
The DRY-BLOCK® System consists of two separate admixtures. DRY-BLOCK® G3 is mixed throughout the concrete during manufacture of the concrete masonry unit (CMU) and DRY-BLOCK® Mortar is added to the mortar.
DRY-BLOCK® G3 is the latest addition to the DRY-BLOCK® System family of integral water repellent admixtures. Through its novel chemistry, DRY-BLOCK® G3 provides excellent water repellency while improving colour vibrancy and controlling both primary and secondary efflorescence.
DRY BLOCK® G3 provides water repellency and also improves cement dispersion. Through this dispersion action, cement and pigment reductions may be possible, but testing is recommended to determine reduction potential.
DRY-BLOCK® G3 may also allow for increased water in the concrete mix, which also promotes greater cement hydration in the CMU. DRY-BLOCK® G3 improves the plasticity of the mix therefore eliminating the need to use a second admixture for machinability.
Application areas
- DRY-BLOCK® G3 may be used in plants producing architectural concrete masonry units for both single and multi-wythe masonry construction. It can also be used in grey block as a cost effective alternative to dampproofing in multi-wythe construction.
