... choose durable concrete masonry with natural stone appearance created using pre-sealing technology.

By specifying Tech-Dry ® Masonry you can achieve the following advantages:

Appearances close to natural stone cab be produced
Surfaces resist long-term efflorescence and remain pristine
Surfaces resist biological growth due to the masonry remaining dry
Rising damp at the base of concrete block wall is eliminiated
The building structure remains dry and is environmentally friendly as evaporation from damp external walls uses energy
Erosion damage due to the effects of salt from sea spray or salt-chlorinated pools is eliminated
Masonry remains dry and can be laid in wet weather
Surfaces exhibit a clean, rather oily appearance, which can be caused by oil-based admixtures

Pre-Sealing
Technology

Concrete masonry with pre-sealing technology is
manufactured with Tech-Dry innovative silicone water
repellent admixtures. These admixtures significantly
reduce water absorption, and hence reduce the
possibility of efflorescence, mould or mildew staining.
The scientific breakthrough of pre-sealing technology
means that the silicone water repellent admixture
incorporated during manufacture of the concrete
product stays as an integral part of the concrete for
its entire life.

Application

Pre-sealing technology is suitable for most concrete
masonry including concrete blocks/bricks, pavers and
pre-cast concrete products, which are widely used in
architectural structures, family homes, retaining walls,
paving and commercial buildings.

Pre-sealing technology is also suitable for stabilised
earth or rammed earth building materials containing
cement.  This technology adds significant value to
environmentally-friendly earth buildings.
