Introducing All Bloc™

Water-Resistant
Stronger Concrete
Freeze-Thaw Tolerant
Inhibits Rust
Increased Durability
Contaminant Resistant
Halts Efflorescence
Longer Service Life

Introducing the evolution of concrete; the newest permeability reducing admixture for hydrostatic conditions (PRAH). All Bloc™, a product of EndWater Solutions, LLC, contributes enhancements to concrete, leading to long-term cost savings and maximizes time on overall construction.

It replaces the need for multiple products, and becomes an all-in-one solution for improving strength, and life-span of concrete. All Bloc™ virtually eliminates water absorption, improves compressive strength, reduces chloride ion penetration, dramatically enhances freeze-thaw tolerance, and greatly increases the durability. The end result is the revolutionary creation of hydrophobic concrete and cement-based products.

Preferably added at the ready-mix plant, All Bloc™ eliminates the guesswork, mixing & handling of bulky bags or heavy containers at the pour site. All Bloc™ is easy-to-mix during batching and simply requires adequate mixing; then pour & finish like normal. Experienced concrete finishers have stated that the workability is greatly improved, another plus for All Bloc™.

Once it’s added to the mix, All Bloc™ is permanently infused throughout the concrete and doesn’t require anything to reactivate its waterproofing benefits. There is also no further need for sprays or coatings to achieve waterproofing.

All Bloc™ works with or replaces accelerators, retardants, plasticizers, corrosion inhibitors, and more.

POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS

All Bloc™ can be used in a wide variety of applications such as concrete slabs, retaining & foundation walls, footings, sidewalks & driveways, and lawn ornaments. It can be used for damp proofing basements, below grade parking, sewage plants, swimming pools, chemical retaining pits, water containment tanks, concrete pipe, and canals. All Bloc™ also works great in grout, mortar, pavers, and concrete block.
All Bloc™ liquid admixture, is a cost effective, one-time treatment with permanent results.

FACTS ABOUT All Bloc™

Better than 98% permeability reduction under hydrostatic conditions

Strength increase in 7-day break test

Strength increase in 28-day break test

Strength increase in 56-Day break test (Air cured)

Water Permeability (DIN 1048)

After 28 days of wet curing, water permeability testing was performed on four cylinders (4”x8”), control and All Bloc™. Each cylinder was placed in an apparatus that applied 72.5 psi of water pressure to the bottom of each cylinder for a period of 72 hours.

All Bloc™ greatly outperformed the control samples in all 4 water permeability tests. Control cylinders experienced nearly total penetration (7 3/16” average), while All Bloc™ cylinders showed minimal surface water penetration (no water penetration was visible in 2 cylinders). All Bloc™ is competitive with any permeability reducing admixture for hydrostatic conditions (PRAH) in the concrete industry.

Compressive Strength

In lab testing*, All Bloc™ had a positive effect on the overall compressive strength of the concrete, when compared to control samples. Ultimately, All Bloc™ increased the compressive strength of the concrete cylinders (4”x8”) at 7-days, 28-days, and 56-days. Plasticizer properties affected by All Bloc™ indicate an increase of Air Entrainment by about 3% to 3.5%. The cost of adding Air to the concrete mixture is therefore eliminated.

In a 7-day, 28-day, and 56-day compressive strength test, All Bloc™ outperformed the control cylinders by over 20%.

Rapid Chloride Ion Penetration (-64%)

All Bloc™ was tested against a typical 3000 psi concrete using the “Standard Test Method for Electrical Indication of Concrete’s Ability to Resist Chloride Ion Penetration” (ASTM C 1202). The Control samples averaged 6,750 Coulombs penetration, while All Bloc™ samples averaged only 2,400 Coulombs, a 64% reduction in chloride ion penetration. Low penetration indicates that All Bloc™ admixture produces concrete that would perform very well in corrosive environments and inhibit rust.

Freeze-Thaw (323 cycles)

The “Standard Test Method for Resistance to Rapid Freezing and Thawing” (ASTM C 666) was conducted with a temperature range of 44 F to -4 F (slight widening of standard 40 F to 0 F). The Control samples (3000 psi mix) failed at an average number of 59 Cycles representing 40% Loss of Dynamic Modulus Frequency (Hz). With All Bloc™ admixture, the concrete samples never failed and the testing was terminated after 323 Cycles with concrete integrity maintained.

Durability Factor (637%)

The Durability Factor was calculated from the Freeze-Thaw testing data and the average improvement for concrete with All Bloc™ admixture was 637% versus standard concrete. The Durability Factor indicates a substantial potential for increased service life. Harsh environment applications subject to concrete repairs and/or replacement would benefit greatly from a more durable concrete installation. The initial costs for All Bloc™ admixture are dwarfed by the excessive cost and time for repair/replacement in the future.
