Davco® K10 Admix

Davco K10 Admix is a poreblocking hydrophobic admixture that significantly reduces the permeability of concrete.

  • Significantly reduced water absorption and penetration when added into concrete.
  • A low water/cement ratio, which reduces capillary paths in the cured concrete.
  • High slump, workable concrete mix for ease of placement.
  • Improved workability resulting in easier, more complete compaction.
  • Can be used in all types of concrete, with all types of cementitious binders.
