PRODUCT DATASHEET
DESCRIPTION: Rapid Set
®
CONCRETE MIX is a high-performance, fast-setting, multi-
purpose concrete repair material. Durable in wet environments, CONCRETE MIX is a blend
of Rapid Set hydraulic cement and quality aggregates. CONCRETE MIX is non-metallic
and no chlorides are added. Mix CONCRETE MIX with water to produce a workable, quality
concrete material that is ideal where fast strength gain, high durability and low shrinkage
are desired. CONCRETE MIX sets in 15 minutes and is ready for traffic in 1 hour.*
USES: Use CONCRETE MIX for general and structural concrete repair, construction of
pavements, formed work, footings, setting posts, industrial floors and machine bases.
CONCRETE MIX contains an air-entraining admixture, in some geographical areas, for
freeze-thaw durability.
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGES: Use CONCRETE MIX to reduce your carbon footprint
and lower your environmental impact. Production of Rapid Set cement emits far
less CO
2
than portland cement. Contact your representative for LEED values and
environmental information.
APPLICATION: Apply CONCRETE MIX in thicknesses from 2" to 24" (5 cm to 61 cm). For
thinner sections, use Rapid Set
®
Cement All
®
or Rapid Set
®
Mortar Mix. Not intended for
high heat applications above 300°F (149°C). For overlay applications, a minimum of one
test section should be prepared to evaluate the suitability of the materials and procedures.
SURFACE PREPARATION: For repairs, application surface must be clean, sound and free
from any materials that may inhibit bond, such as oil, asphalt, curing compound, acid, dirt
and loose debris. Roughen surface and remove all unsound material. Apply CONCRETE
MIX to a thoroughly saturated surface with no standing water.
MIXING: The use of a power-driven mechanical mixer, such as a mortar mixer or a drill-
mounted mixer, is recommended. Organize work so that all personnel and equipment are
in place before mixing. Use clean potable water. CONCRETE MIX may be mixed using
3.5 to 4.0 quarts (3.3 L to 3.8 L) of water per 60-lb (27.2-kg) bag for Department
of Transportation projects and other critical applications. For general purpose
applications, a maximum of 4.5 quarts may be used. Use less water to achieve higher
strengths. For increased fluidity and workability, use Rapid Set
®
FLOW Control
®

admixture from the Rapid Set

. Place the desired quantity of mix
water into the mixing container. While the mixer is running, add CONCRETE MIX. Mix
for the minimum amount of time required to achieve a lump-free, uniform consistency
(usually 1 to 3 minutes). Do not retemper.
INSTALLATION: CONCRETE MIX may be placed using traditional construction methods.
Organize work so that all personnel and equipment are ready before placement. Place,
consolidate and screed quickly to allow for maximum finishing time. Use a method of
consolidation that eliminates air voids. Do not wait for bleed water; apply final finish
as soon as possible. CONCRETE MIX may be troweled, floated or broom finished. On
flatwork, do not install in layers. Install full-depth sections and progress horizontally. To
extend working time, use Rapid Set
®
SET Control
®
retarding admixture from the Concrete
Pharmacy or cold mix water. Do not install on frozen surfaces. CONCRETE MIX may be
applied in temperatures ranging from 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C).
