The invention discloses a water-repellent admixture for mortar and concrete. The water-repellent admixture for mortar and concrete is compounded of organosilicone emulsion, water, a concrete shrinkages reducing agent, a defoaming agent, a water reducing agent, a cement hydrating accelerant, a lithium compound and an air entraining agent, wherein the organosilicone emulsion is of a core-shell structure and prepared by soap-free polymerization and the particle size of emulsion particle is less than 200nm. When 1% of water-repellent admixture is added to mortar, the permeable pressure ratio of the obtained water-repellent mortar layer is not less than 420%, and the water absorption capacity within 48 hours is not greater than 48%; and when 0.2% of water-repellent admixture is added to concrete, the permeable height ratio of the obtained water-repellent concrete layer is not greater than 15%, the water absorption capacity within 48 days is not greater than 26%, and the shrinkage ratio within 28 days is not greater than 102%. The water-repellent admixture contains a core-shell spherical particle polymer with nanoscale and also contains shrinkages reducing agent, air entraining agent, lithium salt and other compounds which have different functions, and thus the anti-permeability, the water-repellent performance and the durability of the water-repellent layer can be greatly improved, the cracking can be avoided, and the toughness is also improved; and the water-repellent admixture is safe, nontoxic, simple in production, environment-friendly, low in cost, simple in structure, and short in open time.
