GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Riteks WATERPEL-S is a unique multi-component, liquid water repellant admixture based on a new technology that exhibits superior performance versus conventional water repellents. Riteks WATERPEL-S provides long-lasting resistance to water penetration by reacting to form a very effective water resistant network throughout manufactured concrete products. Riteks WATERPEL-S, when incorporated properly in concrete masonry units, will provide superior water repellency performance based on NCMA TEK 19, spray bar test and ASTM E514 wind driven rain test.

APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS- Riteks WATERPEL-S is an integral water-repellant admixture system for use in:
- Concrete block (normal, medium, and lightweight)
- Precast and Prestressed Concrete
- Segmental retaining wall units
- Concrete roofing tile
- Pavers
FEATURES & ADVANTAGES
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS- Less maintenance and moisture damage due to integral water repellency
- Inhibits water transmission through hardened cast-in-place concrete
- Less penetration at the surface reduces coats of paint required
- Improves color trueness and consistency
- Reduces mildew and mold growth
- Enhances texture
- Improves aesthetics and appearance
- Controls and reduces efflorescence
Recommendations
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITSRiteks WATERPEL-S is recommended for use at the following dosages: 2–6 ozs./cwt. for Water Repellency (132–397 mL/100 kg) and 1–6 ozs./cwt. for Efflorescence Control (66–397 mL/100 kg). Because local job conditions vary and optimum dosages need to be determined, contact your local Riteks technical service representative for further assistance to ensure proper water-repellent system performance.
Riteks WATERPEL-S should be added after the initial wetting of the aggregates and cement and after a minimum of 75% of the total mix water has been added. Once added to the mix, allow a minimum of 90 seconds of mixing time to ensure Riteks WATERPEL-S has been properly dispersed throughout the mix.
Use of Riteks ES-2000 or any quality Riteks plasticizer is recommended to brighten colors, lower permeability, and increase compressive strength.
