Fast Set/Rapid hardening concrete

Wattsmix rapid hardening concrete incorporates specialised accelerating admixtures to deliver increased turnaround and productivity.

The set time of concrete can be substantially reduced allowing for much quicker power trowelling of flat surfaces and removal of formwork resulting in substantial time saving. Improved efficiency of labour and equipment means reduced financial penalties to the client. Fast setting concrete saves on labour and reduces equipment hire charges.

This concrete is an ideal solution where programme time is critical or lower temperatures are expected. Concrete placed in a floor first thing in a morning can be power trowelled and completely finished by lunchtime.
Benefits

• Eliminates costly overtime
• Reduces hire cost of equipment
• More flexible construction schedules. Users can choose the specific time the guaranteed early strength is achieved – for example 24 hours or 48 hours, enabling them to make up lost schedule time due to weather, breakdowns etc. This is crucial in time critical projects.
• Shortens project times as daily rotations for walls, columns, slabs on grade and grade beams, significantly reduced.
• Prevents vandalism of fresh concrete
• Can be used and placed like standard concrete

Applications
• Ideal for floors and footpaths
• Car parks
• Dockyards
• Rail networks
• Water control structures
• Cold weather concreting
• Time critical situations
