Carbon Neutral Tech Dry ECO Blocks
Carbon Neutral Tech-Dry ECO blocks are ideal for single leaf external, parapet, retainer, basement walls, foundations and anywhere a sustainable, water repellent wall is required. Available in natural grey or coloured.
Carbon Neutral Tech-Dry ECO blocks are Australia’s only Carbon Neutral certified building blocks, third party verified by Global Greentag. The blocks contain 37.6% recycled content consisting of glass aggregates to provide an environmentally friendly water-repellent block. The feature glass aggregate used in the blocks also results in a unique cost-effective surface finish for no additional cost. The water-repellent aspect is an integral part of the entire Carbon Neutral Tech-Dry ECO block and not just a surface effect. An active admix is blended throughout the entire block and will not break down or wash out over time.
A Tech-Dry mortar additive is supplied to create water-repellent mortar joints to establish a totally water-repellent wall. Carbon Neutral Tech-Dry ECO blocks are the only accepted industry product that is “waterproof against wind-driven rain’’ as per CSIRO Tech-Dry test results. Tech-Dry blocks have been successfully used in the building industry for over 15 years and comply with relevant Australian Standards. Testing includes CSIRO test to ASTM E514-90 “Standard Test Method for Water Penetration and Leakage Through Masonry” and an ABSAC (Australian Building Systems Appraisal Council) technical opinion no.231 is also available.
