F.A.Q.

01. Frequently Asked Questions

Concrete Manufacturers and Producers

How does Moxie Shield 1800 integrate into a standard ready-mix or precast production workflow?

Moxie Shield 1800 is an ASTM C494 Type S admixture added at the batch plant or mixer — no process changes, no equipment modifications, no additional cure or handling steps. It does not affect workability, set time, slump, or finishing characteristics. From a production standpoint, it is a clean addition to the mix ticket that delivers permanent vapour-proofing and waterproofing performance without touching your established workflow.

Does Moxie Shield 1800 require changes to the mix design?

No. Moxie Shield 1800 is compatible with standard mix designs and does not require adjustment to water-cement ratio, aggregate proportions, or supplementary cementitious materials. It is also compatible with other admixtures commonly used in ready-mix and precast production, including water reducers, air-entraining agents, and accelerators. Specific compatibility questions for complex or proprietary mixes can be directed to Moxie’s technical team.

What performance does Moxie Shield 1800 add to the finished concrete product?

Moxie Shield 1800 eliminates capillary pathways within the concrete matrix, achieving zero detectable water transmission at up to 200 psi of hydrostatic pressure. It provides permanent vapour-proofing, chloride ion resistance, and freeze-thaw durability exceeding 600 cycles under ASTM C666 test conditions. For producers supplying concrete to infrastructure, below-grade, water retention, or high-exposure applications, this is a defensible, documented performance upgrade built into every yard.

Is Moxie Shield 1800 compatible with precast production, including steam curing and accelerated cure cycles?

Yes. Moxie Shield 1800 is compatible with precast production environments, including accelerated curing protocols. The reactive silicate chemistry continues to develop within the concrete matrix over time, and accelerated cure does not inhibit the admixture’s long-term performance. Producers supplying precast panels, bridge components, pipe, or structural elements can specify 1800 without modifying their curing process.

What third-party testing and documentation supports the performance claims?

Moxie Shield 1800 performance is supported by independent ASTM test data, including ASTM C494 Type S compliance, ASTM C666 freeze-thaw resistance, and hydrostatic pressure testing. Documentation is available from Moxie’s technical team to support submittal packages, owner or engineer approval processes, and quality assurance requirements at the batch plant level.

How does offering Moxie Shield 1800 differentiate our concrete product in a competitive market?

Commodity concrete competes on price. Concrete specified with Moxie Shield 1800 competes on performance. For producers supplying architects, engineers, and contractors on projects where durability, waterproofing, or vapour-proofing is a design requirement, the ability to deliver that capability at the mix design stage — rather than as a post-pour treatment — is a meaningful competitive distinction. It positions your product as an engineered solution, not a commodity pour.

Can Moxie Shield 1800 be offered as a value-added option across our product line, or is it limited to specific mix designs?

Moxie Shield 1800 is compatible across standard ready-mix and precast mix designs and can be offered as a selectable upgrade across your product portfolio. Producers who establish Moxie Shield 1800 as a standard offering can present it to specifiers, engineers, and contractors as a built-in capability — supporting higher-margin sales into performance-specified projects without retooling production.

What is the dosage rate, and how is it managed at the batch plant?

Dosage rates are product and application-specific. Moxie’s technical team works directly with producers to establish dosage protocols, mixing sequencing, and quality control checkpoints appropriate for your batch plant setup. Consistent dosage accuracy is critical to achieving specified performance, and Moxie supports that process through direct technical engagement with production staff.

Is Moxie Shield 1800 appropriate for concrete supplied to water infrastructure, including potable water contact applications?

Yes. Moxie Shield 1800 is zero VOC and approved for use in aquatically sensitive environments. Concrete produced with 1800 is appropriate for reservoirs, water treatment facilities, pools, aquariums, dams, levees, and marine structures. Compliance documentation for potable water contact applications is available on request.

What support does Moxie provide to producers who want to specify or promote 1800 to their customers?

Moxie provides producers with technical data sheets, performance documentation, application guidance, and specification language that can be used in customer-facing conversations and submittal packages. For producers establishing 1800 as a standard product offering, Moxie’s technical and sales teams are available to support customer presentations, engineer approvals, and project-specific questions directly. Contact sales@moxieinternational.com or (916) 251-0825.

Where can we review completed infrastructure and commercial projects where Moxie Shield has been specified?

A portfolio of completed projects across infrastructure, healthcare, education, municipal, hospitality, and commercial sectors is available at moxie-intl.com/projects. Project references from architects, engineers, contractors, and batch plants are available on request through Moxie’s technical team.
