Areas of Application
Cementitious Waterproofing Admixture
Star Cement Cure Blocks
Advanced Cementitious Waterproofing Admixture for Concrete
Star Cement Cure Blocks is a liquid-based cementitious waterproofing admixture formulated with advanced lignosulphonate technology for concrete and mortar. It suits contractors, ready-mix operators, and homeowners needing reliable concrete waterproofing for foundations, basements, roof slabs, and water tanks.
Being liquid, Star Cement Cure Blocks disperses instantly in water, ensuring uniform cementitious waterproofing throughout the mix. It reduces water demand, limits segregation and bleeding, and boosts workability and strength. Unlike traditional powder additives, it delivers dual benefits, pairing dependable cementitious waterproofing with real gains in concrete durability and lasting foundation waterproofing.
6 Key Benefits of Star Cement Cure Blocks
- Liquid-Based Formula — disperses instantly and uniformly through concrete and mortar with no clumping or uneven mixing.
- Advanced Lignosulphonate Technology — delivers dependable cementitious waterproofing performance in every batch.
- Reduced Water Demand — maintains full workability even when harsh sands or aggregates are used.
- Minimized Segregation & Bleeding — produces denser, more homogeneous concrete.
- Improved Compressive Strength — boosts long-term durability compared to untreated concrete mixes.
- Dual-Action Performance — combines concrete waterproofing with genuine strength enhancement, unlike single-purpose powder additives.

The Problem
Common Problems With Untreated Concrete
Seepage, inconsistent protection, and weak durability all stem from additives that only block water without strengthening the mix. Star Cement Cure Blocks solves all three.
Water Seepage & Structural Damage
Porous concrete absorbs moisture, leading to cracks, corrosion, and long-term deterioration.
Uneven Waterproofing Performance
Traditional powder additives often fail to disperse properly, causing inconsistent protection and reduced workability.
Weak Durability Despite Waterproofing
Many waterproofing additives only block water without improving concrete strength, leaving structures vulnerable over time.
Benefits
6 Key Benefits of Star Cement Cure Blocks
Star Cement Cure Blocks is a liquid-based cementitious waterproofing admixture with advanced lignosulphonate technology for concrete and mortar. It ensures uniform mixing, reduces water demand, minimizes segregation and bleeding, and improves workability and strength. Unlike powder additives, it provides enhanced waterproofing and long-lasting concrete durability.
Uniform, Reliable Cementitious Waterproofing
Because Star Cement Cure Blocks is liquid-based, it disperses evenly through every batch of concrete or mortar. This eliminates the clumping common with powder additives, giving contractors consistent cementitious waterproofing performance across foundations, slabs, and walls in every single pour.
Lower Water Demand, Higher Workability
The lignosulphonate technology in Star Cement Cure Blocks reduces the water needed to achieve workable concrete. Less water means a lower risk of shrinkage cracking and a denser final structure, while contractors get the easy handling they expect on site.
Reduced Segregation and Bleeding
Star Cement Cure Blocks minimizes segregation and bleeding during placement, keeping aggregate and cement paste evenly distributed. The result is a more homogeneous, better-compacted concrete that resists honeycombing and delivers consistent, dependable foundation waterproofing from footing to finish.
Stronger, More Durable Concrete
Unlike single-purpose powder waterproofers, Star Cement Cure Blocks maintains or improves compressive strength while it waterproofs. By fully using its water-reduction potential, it strengthens the concrete matrix itself, extending service life for structures exposed to constant, prolonged moisture.
Dramatic Reduction in Permeability
Star Cement Cure Blocks sharply cuts water permeability compared to untreated concrete, acting as an effective waterproof concrete sealer within the mix itself. This keeps water out of basements, tanks, and roof slabs long after construction and finishing are complete.
Compatible With Standard Construction Practices
Star Cement Cure Blocks works with all common cement types and has no significant effect on setting time. Contractors can adopt this concrete waterproofing solution without changing established batching, placing, or curing procedures, making adoption simple on any job site.
How to Apply
Method of Application
Applying Star Cement Cure Blocks is straightforward
Surface Preparation
Confirm formwork, reinforcement, and aggregates are clean and ready, and estimate the required dosage based on cement quantity before batching begins.
Mixing
Measure the required quantity of Star Cement Cure Blocks and stir it into the first or second bucket of mixing water. Add this mixture to the concrete or mortar and mix thoroughly, continuing to add water gradually until the desired workability is reached.
Application
Place and compact the concrete or mortar using standard methods while it remains workable. Cure as per normal practice; Star Cement Cure Blocks does not require any special curing procedure to deliver full cementitious waterproofing performance.

What Our Customers Say
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Star Cement Cure Blocks.
What is cementitious waterproofing and how does Star Cement Cure Blocks provide it?
Cementitious waterproofing works by densifying the concrete itself rather than relying only on a surface layer. Star Cement Cure Blocks achieves this by reducing water demand and minimizing pores, so the hardened concrete resists water penetration from within.
How is Star Cement Cure Blocks different from powder-based waterproofing compounds?
As a liquid admixture, Star Cement Cure Blocks disperses instantly and evenly in water, unlike powders that can clump unevenly. This gives more consistent cementitious waterproofing and also improves strength, offering dual benefits powder products typically cannot match.
What is the recommended dosage of Star Cement Cure Blocks per bag of cement?
Dosage typically ranges between 125ml and 200ml per 50kg of cement, depending on the application. Site trials are recommended to determine the optimum dosage for your specific concrete waterproofing requirements and available materials.
Can Star Cement Cure Blocks be used for foundation waterproofing?
Yes. Star Cement Cure Blocks is well suited to foundation waterproofing because it reduces permeability throughout the concrete mass, protecting footings and basement walls from rising dampness and water ingress over the structure's lifetime.
Does Star Cement Cure Blocks affect the setting time of concrete?
No. Star Cement Cure Blocks has no significant effect on the setting time of concrete or mortar, so standard construction schedules and curing timelines can continue without adjustment while still gaining full cementitious waterproofing benefits.
Is Star Cement Cure Blocks compatible with all cement types?
Star Cement Cure Blocks is compatible with most common cement types, including pozzolanic cements. It is not recommended for use with high alumina cement, so always confirm compatibility for specialized cementitious waterproofing projects.
Can this product act as a waterproof concrete sealer for water tanks?
Yes. By densifying the concrete matrix and cutting permeability, Star Cement Cure Blocks functions as an integral waterproof concrete sealer, making it suitable for water tanks, sumps, and other water-retaining structures needing dependable waterproofing.
How much water reduction can I expect when using Star Cement Cure Blocks?
Water reduction can reach 15% or more compared to a standard mix at the same workability. This lower water content supports stronger, denser concrete and enhances the overall cementitious waterproofing performance of the finished structure.
What is the shelf life of Star Cement Cure Blocks?
Star Cement Cure Blocks has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in a dry area in unopened containers. Proper storage helps maintain consistent cementitious waterproofing performance when the product is eventually used.
Is Star Cement Cure Blocks safe to handle on site?
Star Cement Cure Blocks is non-toxic and non-flammable, making it safe for standard site handling. As with any construction chemical, avoid prolonged skin or eye contact and rinse thoroughly with water if splashes occur during concrete waterproofing work.
