Rp-M is a uniquely formulated product designed for use as a plaster additive or with exposed aggregate finishes. Rp-M provides an increase in the compressive strength of the plaster while providing decreased permeability. Rp-M’s mixture of rheology modifiers and pozzolans reduce the water demand of a traditional pozzolan-only modified mixture. Pozzolans are a special mineral admixture that react with calcium hydroxide to product calcium silicate hydrate or calcium aluminosilicate hydrate.
Advantages to the pool builder:
Rp-M is a means of elevating the quality, durability and beauty of the pool surface to a level that is unsurpassed by any other method or any other surface available today. Rp-M is an additive that, when combined with a standard plaster or aggregate finish, creates an extremely hard, dense surface that is highly resistant to deterioration.
Advantages to the pool owner:
Every day, all day long, the pool surface is subject to the balancing chemicals used to maintain the clarity and quality of your pool water. In most cases, a mechanical cleaner makes it’s was around the pool surface to keep it clean and free from debris. Over time, the power of moving water and aggressive chemicals have the ability to break down the finish, creating a porous and damaged surface even in the best of interior finishes. It isn’t difficult to realize the amount of punishment the pool is subjected to and between the elements, the chemicals and the action of the cleaning systems, the pool surface is under constant attack! Rp-M fights back, making the pool capable of weathering the heaviest wear and tear that may occur over years of use!
Whether resurfacing or building new, insist on the only additive designed with one thng in mind…to protect your investment. Use Rp-M.
Product Description:
Rp-M is a blend of an extremely fine amorphous low alkali specialty glass that attracts and bonds water onto it surface and a brilliant white pozzolan, mixed in each 251lb. Bag.
Compressive Strength Gain:
Rp-M delivers high compressive strength due to the efficient packing of cementitious materials and it’s reactivity as a pozzolan. This combination of pozzolanic activity and reduced water demands produces high compressive strength.
Particle Size Distribution:
The particle distribution is such that it efficiently fills the void spaces between the aggregates and cementitous components of the mixture, thus lowering water demand and imparting improved durability.
Decreased Permeability:
As a plaster modifier, Rp-M will provide more efficient consumption of the hydroxide that is produced during the hydration of cement creating a more impermeable, denser finish.
Benefits:
Better Workability
Low Cost
Reduces Bleed Water
Low Slump
Decreased Permeability
