Details
Rapid Set® Cement is a very fast setting hydraulic cement used in concrete applications requiring the highest durability and fastest strength gain. Mix Rapid Set® Cement with water and aggregates to produce high-performance, one-hour strength concrete, mortar and grout mixtures. The High-Strength, low shrinkage, and superior durability of RapidSet® Cement result in unparalleled concrete performance. Rapid Set® Cement has a proven record of successful projects dating back to 1960.
USES
Excellent for diverse projects including highway pavements, bridges, runways, tunnels, harbors, precast, sidewalks, floors, and many other projects. For larger jobs, Rapid Set® Cement mixtures may be batched using conventional ready-mix or volumetric mixer equipment. Many state and local municipalities throughout the U.S. specify Rapid Set® Cement in their concrete mix designs when speed and durability are important.
MIX & APPLY
A trial batch is recommended to optimize performance. For small projects, start with one 88-lb. bag of Rapid Set® Cement, 175-lb. of sand, 175-lb. of 3/8" to ¾" stone and about 4-gal. of potable water. Place material quickly and strike off with a screed. Apply desired finish. Begin water curing immediately after final finishing. To control the set time use SET Control® and cold water. Concrete additives are available.
