Plasticure

Tech-Dry® Plasticure is an innovative water-repellent admixture designed to be incorporated in the manufacture of stabilised earth products including stabilised earth building materials, rammed earth walls containing cement or pressed concrete blocks.

When added to the rammed earth mix, this water-repellent admixture will make the rammed earth prodcuts permanently water repellent, salt and mould resistant, and strengthen the structure.

This product will allow the structure to impart excellent water repellency, both internally and externally, providing long term resistance against weathering and deterioration. Post construction surface treatments are generally not required after using this water-repellent admixture.
