However AQUAPEL is effective in a wide range of cement content mixes, in accordance with users preference. For best results, the [water + AQUAPEL]: cement ratio should not exceed 0.45. A superplasterciser may be used for higher workability\/placement slump.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRENDERS \u0026amp; TOPPINGS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“All renders and\/or toppings (specify sections and mix) shall incorporate Cementaid AQUAPEL at the rate of up to 1500 ml. per 40 Kg bag of cement used, with water content adjusted to maintain slump.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEFFECTS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReduces water absorption and transpiration of moisture by 70-80%, compared to normal concrete.
