Solutions

1. Ready-Mix: Use twenty-four (24) ounces per cubic yard. Earlier troweling will be necessary due to faster setting. For best results Gla-Zit needs to be added last to the batch mix. Cure concrete with water or burlap and water.
2. Painting: Use eight (8) parts of water to one (1) part of Gla-Zit. Use this solution for mixing cement alone. To seal basement walls, pits, etc., stir a pure grade of Portland Cement (No Sand) into the solution until the ingredients become a cream-like substance, then paint on with whitewash or other suitable type brush. Be sure to clean and wet surface thoroughly before applying and where there is oil or grease, use a strong detergent or grease remover to clean. If mixture of ingredients become too thick to apply, add solution. Clean and wash brushes immediately after application. Do not wash them out in sewer drains, etc. Solution has unlimited shelf life.
3. Mortar: Use twelve (12) parts of water to one (1) part of Gla-Zit. Use this solution with mortar mix, masonry ready-mix concrete patch, anything concrete based material. Solution has unlimited shelf life.

1. Absorbtion tests
2. Freeze thaw of regular concrete reduced spalling by 2 freeze thaw cycles and air-entrained concrete doubled the number of freeze thaw cycles before spalling occured.
3. Thermal shock, attack by steam and thermal shock showed no effect.
4. Compression tests, 9% more compression strength at 28 days of cure.
5. Waterproofing capabilities, semi-submerged the water absorption is reduced by 37% and fully submerged water absorption is reduced by 20%.
6. Acid Resistance
7. Cold weather grout test
8. Hot weather setting time
9. Mortar properties
10. Paint adhesion
11. Lightweight insulating concrete
12. USDA approved for use in food processing or storage areas for meat or poultry
13. Corrosion of embedded materials in concrete

• Ready-Mix Concrete

  For best results use Gla-Zit Liquid Concentrate in your concrete product. Gla-Zit may be added to ready-mix trucks at batch plants as the last ingredient, Gla-Zit goes to work immediately, should a ready-mix truck have a long wait, add Gla-Zit on the job and allow to thoroughly mix for three (3) minutes before pouring.

  Gla-Zit can be used with water reducers and air-entrainment but adding other admixtures should be used with caution, it can change the quality that Gla-Zit will do alone.

  • Use 1½ pints or 24 ounces of Gla-Zit to each cubic yard of ready-mix concrete. This formula is for a six (6) bag mix or 600 pounds of cement being used for each cubic yard of concrete. If you increase or decrease the amount of cement used in a cubic yard or mix smaller quantities then a yard, for same results add Gla-Zit at four (4) to eight (8) ounces per bag of cement. Where high acid materials will come in contact with concrete in finished product, increase Gla-Zit to 1½ quart for each cubic yard of ready-mix concrete.

  Gla-Zit when used by the directions can retards dusting, cracking, scaling, freezing and resists acid and salt action: works as a mild accelerator, harder, bonder and sealer for concrete and masonry construction materials, plus added strength.

  Early strength is gained within three (3) days, but drying of concrete is delayed several days where by Gla-Zit draws moisture to the concrete retarding the cracking and scaling action.

  Gla-Zit increase the density of cement which makes it bond closer together decreasing the absorption of water and other liquids sealing out greater amounts of foreign materials in finished product. Through this process of curing Gla-Zit hardens the concrete, retards the dusting action and resists acid and salt action. Gla-Zit has many other advantages such as superior qualities of bonding cement to steel, retarding leeching action of cement and etc.

  Gla-Zit is a combination of calcium and inorganic material compatible to cement and aggregate, which is refined and as free of organic materials as is possible to manufacture.

  Gla-Zit is tested by outside testing laboratories see “Testing” section pages 8 to 53.

• Coating Block Walls and Cement Surfaces

  A unique water-soluble liquid to be proportionally used with cement and water when mixing to waterproof and seal concrete above and below the ground. Gla-Zit is an inorganic material compatible to cement and aggregate, which is refined and 99% free of organic materials.

  Gla-Zit is very economical; a gallon of Gla-Zit will approximately cover 2700 square feet of clean block wall. Gla-Zit is an excellent low-cost primer for block and concrete walls. Gla-Zit makes a smoother surface for painting wall, extending the paint coverage.

  Gla-Zit mixed with cement increases the density of cement which makes a closer bond, decreasing the absorption of water and other liquids, sealing out foreign material in the finished product.

  Residential uses are:  basement foundations, driveways, grouting, swimming pools.

  Commercial uses are:  block walls, car washes, industrial farms, dairies, storage of water, for bonding and a sealer, accelerates set time, for any masonry construction materials.

• Mortar-Mix Supplement

  For best results use Gla-Zit Concentrate, in making of all concrete products adding it to water as the solution to Mortar-Mix material. Other admixtures may be used but will take away from the quality that Gla-Zit will do alone.

  Gla-Zit is a combination of calcium and inorganic material compatible to cement and aggregate, which is refined and as free of organic materials as is possible to manufacture.

  Gla-Zit is tested by outside testing laboratories.

  When laying concrete block, tile, brick, also tuck-pointing and stucco finishes to density the mortar-mix to retard efflorescence and water absorption, give added strength and bonding effect to the mortar-mix which gives excellent results in warm and freezing weather.

  • Cold Weather: we recommend a solution of one part of Gla-Zit to 8 parts of water to be used with each bag of Type I Portland Cement (94 pounds).
  • Warm Weather: we recommend lesser quantities of Gla-Zit to be one-part Gla-Zit to 12 parts water with each bag of Type I Portland Cement (94 pounds). If mortar-mix is setting up to rapidly for the user. This is to be used with the specified mortar sand in amounts specified by the Architect or Engineer, which is usually eighteen (18) to twenty-seven (27) shovels full per batch. If grout gets to stiff while using, add Gla-Zit water solution to the desired consistency of grout.
  • To waterproof and retard efflorescence to the greatest extent in Mortar-Mix, we recommend the use of Type I Portland Cement only with specified mortar sand, Gla-Zit and Water to give added workability to the grout, lime may be added in quantities of a quarter to half bag. Cold/Freezing weather lime should be used in lesser quantities to retard efflorescence and leaching action in grout.
