MasterPel 240: Water-repellent and efflorescence control admixture with excellent resistance to wind-driven rain

Formerly: Rheopel Plus

How does MasterPel 240 work?

MasterPel 240 multipurpose admixture is used in a variety of water-repellent and efflorescence control applications. This unique formula is based on a novel silane chemistry that is different from that of conventional water-repellent admixtures in the concrete industry. MasterPel 240 admixture also exhibits excellent wind-driven rain resistance and has achieved the highest rating per ASTM E 514. MasterPel 240 admixture meets ASTM C 494/C 494M requirements for Type S, Specific Performance, admixtures.

Recommended uses:

Architectural blocks
Single-wythe masonry construction
Paving stones
Segmental retaining wall units
Concrete roof tiles
Precast /prestressed concrete

What are the unique features of MasterPel 240?

Unique formulation
Part of block producer water-repellency certification program
Contains components that enhance color and reduce efflorescence potential
Provides improved material flow and extrusion characteristics

What are the benefits of MasterPel 240?

Superior water repellency versus conventional water-repellent admixtures
Significantly reduces secondary efflorescence (improves primary efflorescence control)
Improves color vibrancy and pigment efficiency
Increases compressive and flexural strengths
Increases production rate
Adds visual appeal
