ConBlock CDA Red, a liquid amorphous crystal waterproofing admixture, is designed to densify and waterproof concrete structures, such as: below-grade precast structures, wastewater treatment plants, sewer pipes, manholes and water containment tanks (non-potable water).
ConBlock CDA Red is a liquid Permeability Reducing Agent (PRA) that densifies concrete. When added to Portland cement concrete, the compressive strength is 25% greater than reference concrete after one day; which allows faster handling of concrete. The amorphous silica crystal is fast-reacting, allowing performance to be realized immediately. Due to the tightening of the void space, concrete bleeding is reduced, allowing finishing operations to occur more quickly. After 21 days at 200 psi (CRD-C48) water did not pass through the concrete. ConBlock CDA Red’s densification properties allow it to be suitable for use in Hydrostatic (PRAH) and non-hydrostatic (PRAN) installations.
DO NOT SUBJECT CONBLOCK CDA RED TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES BEFORE USE.
