Tech Shield System Component

Efflorescence Control and Water Repellant Admixture

TechShield 852 is a high performance liquid admixture designed to improve strength, durability, and longterm moisture resistance in concrete masonry products. Using advanced reactive water repellent chemistry, TS-852 forms a permanent internal bond with cement, increasing cement efficiency while significantly reducing efflorescence and water penetration.

Features & Benefits

  • Increases compressive strength at all ages
  • Improves flexural strength in concrete tile
  • Dramatically reduces efflorescence
  • Enhances freeze/thaw durability
  • Increases concrete density
  • Provides long-lasting, internal water repellency
  • Improves longterm durability and service life

Applications

TS-852 can be used in a wide variety of concrete masonry products including:

  • Concrete Masonry Units (CMU)
  • Concrete roof tile
  • Masonry Mortars
  • Specialty cementitious products

It is particularly useful where conventional efflorescence control agents have not performed adequately

Why Choose TechShield 852?

TS-852 combines efflorescence control, strength enhancement, and water repellency in a single, easytouse admixture. Producers benefit from improved product quality, enhanced durability, and longterm protection against moisture-related defects—helping deliver brighter, stronger masonry products that perform better in the field.
