- Uses
Hydense may be used wherever increased and improved masonry production is required. It is particularly useful in:
- Concrete Block
- Concrete Brick
- Dry-cast concrete pipe
- Paving Stones
- Specialty Landscape Units
- Compatibility
Hydense is fully effective and compatible in masonry concrete containing all types of portland cement, class C and F fly ash, silica fume, calcium chloride, fibers and approved water-reducing, accelerating and retarding admixtures. Hydense can be used in white, colored, and architectural concrete.
- Dosage
Hydense addition rates range from 1 to 12 ounces per 100 pounds (65 to 783 mL per 100 kg) of cement. For best results, Hydense should be dispensed separately into the mix after 70% to 80% of the initial batch water. Hydense should never be allowed to come into direct contact with dry cement. Allow Hydense to mix a minimum of two minutes for maximum cement strength efficiency.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging
55-gallon drums, 275-gallon tote tanks, and bulk tank truck.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 18 Months
- Storage
Hydense should be stored at temperatures above 35 F (2 C) degrees. Although freezing does not harm the performance of Hydense, precautions should be taken to protect it from freezing. If it should happen to freeze, thaw and reconstitute with mechanical agitation. Do not use pressurized air for agitation.
