More information on Acme Hardscape
Acme Hardscape is an integral, polymeric, liquid admixture designed specifically for use in the manufacture of SRWs, pavers and block. It imparts long lasting efflorescence control to these products. At higher dosages it is an effective water repellent.
How to Use:
In normal weight concrete, with proper gradation, 6-12 ounces of Acme Hardscape per 100 pounds of cement provides the user with an effective efflorescence control agent.
If full water repellency is required, dosages of 20 to 30 ounces may be required depending on block density.
Always test for water repellency as mix design is a critical part of the issue.
Users should determine proper dosage for their units through their own testing.
Acme Hardscape should be added to the final water. In no case should Acme Hardscape come in contact with dry cement or dry colors, as “balling” may occur, resulting in uneven dispersion of Acme Hardscape throughout the batch. Care should be taken to make sure material does not freeze as this will destroy the product.
Product is stable with no hazardous or toxic ingredients.
