£4.87 - £117.62 ex. VATThis high-strength cement waterproofer is ideal for both internal and external applications, including rendering, roof screeds, swimming pools, tanks, retaining walls, basement walls, and reservoirs. It improves the workability and plasticity of concrete and mortar in their wet state, resisting water penetration even under pressure. The product reacts with free lime in the mortar to form hydrophobic crystals, which block the pores and enhance water resistance. For best results, it should be added to the gauging water with minimal water in the mix and a properly balanced cement and sand aggregaSelect options This product has multiple variants.

£2.22 - £11.19 ex. VATAlphaChem Mortar Plasticiser is designed to enhance the workability and freeze thaw resistance of brick and block laying mortars, reducing the likelihood of cracking and crazing. It may be used to replace or supplement the use of lime. BENEFITS - Mortar does not stiffen prematurely on the board but remains plastic. - Mortar does not segregate or ‘bleed’. - Mortar is less prone to drying out shrinkage. - Increased adhesive strength. - Up to 50% water reduction can be affected. - Inexpensive to use: allows cement contents to be reduced (depending on present mix design).Select options This product has multiple variants.
