Applications

HYDROCEL admixtures are used to reduce permeability and to protect mass concrete, stucco and mortar in below grade work such as swimming pools, foundation and basement floors and walls, storage tanks, and wherever normal hydrostatic pressures exist. Used in above grade mortar and stucco to obtain tighter joints on brick, block, stone, and glass block wall construction, and in retaining walls, etc.

Use 1 lb. of HYDROCEL per bag of cement. For each cubic foot of lime used, add one additional pound of HYDROCEL POWDER. HYDROCEL POWDER is thoroughly mixed with the dry Portland cement and aggregate before the addition of gauging water. In transit-mixed concrete, HYDROCEL POWDER is added to the dry mixture, agitated for five minutes and then added to gauging water. If the HYDROCEL POWDER is added to the wet mix, agitation of at least ten minutes is recommended.
