- Dosage
Moxie Shield 1800 Admixture is used at a dosage rate of 10 fluid ounces per 94 pound sack of cement, or 11 ounces per cwt (715 mil/100 kg) of cementitious materials. Dosing rate for precast, stucco, plaster, mortar/grout, countertop and shotcrete will vary between 15 to 24 fluid ounces per 94 pound sack of cement. Include any cementitious materials such as fly ash in this calculation.

- Advantages
Stops water vapor transmission above and below grade; Ideal for concrete, stucco, plaster, grout and mortar; Increases compressive and flexural strength; Provides a shrinkage compensating thermal barrier; Plasticizer-like characteristics; Curing compound sealer; Dust-proofing compound; Expels up to 90% of internal chlorides; Stops penetration of chlorides and hydrogen sulfides; Resists spalling and flaking; Resists lichen, moss and other accretions; Resists acids and sulfates erosion; Increases freeze-thaw durability; Resists transmission of hazardous gasses including radon gas; Increases surface hardness; Corrosion inhibitor; Pumping and finishing aid; Increases high early strength, surface density and bond strength
- Limitations
If the ambient temperature is below 50°F an accelerator may be needed; use moxie fastset50 to decrease the set time. Do not use chloride accelerators. In high ambient temperatures, or if a delayed set time is desired, a set retarder may be used. If additional protection from surface moisture evaporation is needed, fog misting or an evaporation retardant/finishing aid may be applied according to manufacturer instructions. Where adhered floors are to be installed do not use surface sealers/hardeners or curing compounds, as they will prevent proper mechanical bond of adhesives and increase drying time. Performs as a curing compound. In extreme conditions fog mist with water only per aci 302 concrete floor and slab construction.
