Masonry & Hardscape Solutions

#1727 Pallet Oil Concentrate is a blend of oxygenated hydrocarbons and water displacing chemicals that make an extremely effective pallet oil when combined with fuel oil, diesel fuel, or kerosene. #1727 Pallet Oil Concentrate can be used on all block pallets and other equipment where rust or concrete build-up is a concern.

When combined with fuel oil, #1727 Pallet Oil Concentrate meets the needs for a non-staining lubricant for ABC Curing Systems. #1727 Pallet Oil Concentrate lowers the push pressure on the hydraulic ram and improves lubricity resulting in a cleaner pallet conveyer.

An integral water repellent admixture specially designed to disperse throughout the mixture during manufacture of the block so that a uniform level of water repellency is achieved. Utilizing patented polymer technology, a long-term water repellency is developed.

DRY-BRICK^™ Mortar Admixture is formulated based on a patented technology. It is a liquid, integral water repellent admixture for masonry mortar. When DRY-BRICK Mortar Admixture is added at its recommended dosage rate, the wicking property of the mortar is dramatically reduced.

OPTEC® EC-250 admixture is designed to enhance the quality and appearance of concrete pavers, segmental retaining wall units and other low slump concrete products. OPTEC® EC-250 admixture controls secondary efflorescence thus enhancing color. It also provides excellent mix plasticity and machinability which helps reduce overall production cycle times.

OPTEC® EC-935 is a liquid admixture added to the concrete during the batching process. It controls efflorescence in pavers, segmental retaining wall units and other low slump concrete products. It also provides workability, increased strengths and a tight surface texture.

OPTEC® EC-978 admixture provides color enhancement and efflorescence control to the concrete roof tile industry. It is formulated as a ready-to-use admixture to aid the extrusion process and enhance the quality and appearance of concrete roof tile.

OPTEC® Paver Enhancer is an innovative admixture specifically formulated to enhance the physical properties and overall appearance of concrete Pavers and Segmented Retaining Wall (SRW) units. OPTEC® Paver Enhancer can enhance color dispersion and help minimize secondary efflorescence. It provides excellent mix plasticity for improved physical attributes and machinability.

QUANTEC® PL-400 is a specially formulated plasticizing admixture using the latest dispersant technologies on the market. QUANTEC® PL-400 is designed for use in the manufacture of machine produced concrete products where the process requires zero or very low slump concrete. QUANTEC® PL-400 is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid.

QUANTEC® PL-466 admixture is specially formulated for use in the manufacture of machined concrete products where the process requires zero or low slump concrete and where a smoother, denser, surface finish with a swipe is desirable.

QUANTEC® PL-477R admixture is specially formulated for use in the manufacture of machined concrete products where the process requires zero or low slump concrete, and where a normal textured surface is desired.

QUANTEC® PL-488 admixture is specifically formulated for use in the manufacture of concrete block, concrete pavers, concrete pipe, and other concrete products where the process requires zero or low slump concrete and where a smooth, tight, surface finish with a swipe is desirable. QUANTEC® PL-488 admixture is formulated to improve workability and increase strength.

QUANTEC® PL-490 admixture is a concentrated plasticizer specially formulated for use in the production of concrete block, concrete, pipe and other low slump concrete products where a smooth, tight surface with a light swipe is preferred. QUANTEC® PL-490 admixture is supplied as a liquid concentrate but it is intended to be used in a diluted form.

QUANTEC® PL-495R admixture is a concentrated plasticizer specially formulated for use in concrete block, concrete pipe and other zero or low slump concrete products where a normal textured surface is desired. QUANTEC® PL-495R admixture is supplied as a liquid concentrate, but it is intended to be used in a diluted form.

QUANTEC® ULTRA-ES admixture is a high performance cement dispersant based on a patented technology.

TRYSTA® freeze/thaw durability-enhancing admixture is based on patented technology. It is for zero slump concrete applications such as segmental retaining wall units and concrete pavers, which are exposed to environments of repeated freezing and thawing.
