The Rheopel Admixture System  

The Rheopel Admixture System is made up of two individually formulated, polymeric additives:

• Rheopel admixtures are specially formulated for use in the manufacture of concrete masonry units (CMUs) as well as other "dry cast" concrete products. Rheopel water-repellent and efflorescence-controlling admixtures are integrally mixed into CMUs during manufacturing at the block plant.
  
• Rheopel Mortar Admixture is a water-repellent admixture that is integrally mixed into masonry mortar at the job site prior to concrete masonry wall construction.

When used together, Rheopel admixtures and Rheopel Mortar Admixture create the most effective water-repellent masonry projects in the industry.

The Rheopel Admixture System should be specified whenever water-repellent concrete masonry is desired. The System is able to improve the quality, value, and overall aesthetics of concrete masonry construction through its several inherent benefits:

• Optimizes overall water-repellent properties
• Maintains excellent wind-driven rain resistance
• Provides lasting protection from moisture damage without the use of exterior applied sealers
• Enhances color intensity and uniformity
• Reduces the potential for efflorescence
• Improves the texture and consistency of manufactured concrete products
• Increases the coverage rate of post-applied paints and coatings
