Product Description
USES
Use when faster set times are desired with plain concrete and mortar placements down to 15°F (-9°C):
Setting brick, concrete block, stone, glass block and structural clay tile:
Driveways, sidewalks, patios, slabs on grade and footer not containing reinforcing steel
ADVANTAGES
FreezBan Beads dissolve faster and more completely than competitive powders
Permits masonry to bear loads sooner
Improves adhesion, mortar density, and workability
Increases early, tensile, and compressive strengths
Minimizes shrinkage
Significantly reduces efflorescence
DIRECTIONS
Add directly to the gauging water for each batch of mortar. Under no circumstances should FreezBan liquid or FreezBan Beads be added to the cement or mortar.
To obtain maximum results:
Keep masonry units dry
Use a windbreak around the mortarboard and mixer to minimize the chill factor
Keep sand and gauging water ice-free
Protect work from freezing for 48 hours
Keep walls dry next to the metal door or window frames. Frames may corrode due to moisture and air
If frames are scratched or abraded, reapply metal primer
