Grace in the mix

The OPTEC line from Grace Construction Products recently introduced two new admixtures, OPTEC Paver Enhancer and OPTEC EC-875. Both offer excellent plasticity and machinability.

OPTEC Paver Enhancer is formulated to reduce the cost of paver and segmental retaining walls by achieving comparable strength properties with less cement. It can enhance color dispersion and help minimize secondary efflorescence. OPTEC Paver Enhancer provides a medium swipe on the surface of the unit for better water control. It is supplied as a liquid ready for use in production plants.

OPTEC EC-875 is a color-enhancing and efflorescence-controlling admixture formulated to enhance the appearance and color vibrancy of SWRs and pavers, architectural units, roof tiles and other low-slump concrete products. It improves the dispersion of the cement throughout the mix, resulting in more complete cement hydration and higher strengths. It may also allow for increased water in the mix, promoting more complete cement hydration.
