3. Product Description:
When mixed with water CONCRETE
MIX produces a workable, high quality
concrete material that is ideal where fast
strength gain, high durability and low
shrinkage are desired. Apply CONCRETE
MIX in thicknesses from 2-in to 24-in.
Durable in wet environments. SETS IN
15 MINUTES & IS READY FOR
TRAFFIC IN 1-HOUR. One 60-lb. bag of
Rapid Set® CONCRETE MIX will yield
approximately 0.5 cubic feet.
Uses:
CONCRETE MIX is a multipurpose, fast
setting product that can be used for repair
and construction of pavements, formed
work, footings, setting posts, industrial
floors, machine bases, structural and
concrete repair.
Composition:
Rapid Set® CONCRETE MIX is a high
performance blend of Rapid Set®
hydraulic cement and quality aggregates.
CONCRETE MIX is non-metallic and no
chlorides are added. Rapid Set®
CONCRETE MIX is similar in appearance
to portland cement concrete and may be
applied using similar methods.
Color: [Light Grey]
The final color of CONCRETE MIX may
vary due to application techniques and
environmental conditions.
Limitations:
Not intended for applications thinner than
®
2-in, for thin sections use Rapid Set
®
CEMENT ALL or Rapid Set MORTAR
MIX. For applications where bonding is
important, at least one test section should
be prepared to evaluate the suitability of
the materials and procedures.

5. Using CONCRETE MIX
Surface Preparation:
Where bonding is important, the adjacent
surfaces shall be clean, sound and free from
any materials that may inhibit bond such as
oil, asphalt, curing compounds, acids, dirt
and loose debris. Roughen surfaces and
remove all unsound concrete. Immediately
prior to placement the repair surface shall
be thoroughly saturated 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. For
increased fluidity and workability use Rapid
Set® FLOW CONTROL® plasticizing
a d m i x t u r e f r o m t h e C o n c r e t e
Pharmacy®. Place the desired quantity of
mix water into the mixing container. While
the mixer is running add Rapid Set®
CONCRETE MIX. Mix for the minimum
amount of time required to achieve a
lump-free, uniform consistency (usually 1
to 3 minutes). Do not re-temper.
Placement:
Rapid Set® CONCRETE MIX may be
placed using traditional methods. Organize
work so that all personnel and equipment
are ready before placement. Place,
consolidate and screed quickly to allow for
maximum finishing time. Do not wait for
bleed water, apply final finish as soon as
possible. Rapid Set® CONCRETE MIX
may be troweled, floated or broom
finished. On flat work do not install in
layers, install full depth sections and
progress horizontally. Do not install on
frozen surfaces. Use a method of
consolidation that eliminates air voids. To
extend working time use Rapid Set® SET
CONTROL® set retarding admixture.
progress horizontally. Do not install on
frozen surfaces. Use a method of
consolidation that eliminates air voids. To
extend working time use Rapid Set® SET
CONTROL® set retarding admixture.
Curing: Water cure all Rapid Set®
CONCRETE MIX installations. Begin
curing as soon as the surface has lost its
moist sheen. Keep exposed surfaces wet
for a minimum of 1 hour. When
experiencing extended setting times, due
to cold temperature or the use of retarder,
longer cure times may be required. The
objective of water curing shall be to
maintain a continuously wet surface until
the product has achieved sufficient
strength.
Temperature:
Warm environmental and materials
temperatures will reduce the working time
of CONCRETE MIX. To compensate for
warm temperatures, keep material cool
and use chilled mix water. Temperatures
below 70ºF (21ºC) will decrease the rate
of strength gain and CONCRETE MIX
should not be applied if surface or ambient
temperature is below 45ºF (7.2ºC).
6. Limited Warranty:
C T S C e m e n t M a n u f a c t u r i n g
Corporation warrants its material to be
of good quality, and, at its sole option,
within one year from date of sale, will
replace defective materials or refund the
purchase price thereof and such
replacement or refund shall be the limit
of CTS's responsibility. Except for the
foregoing, all warranties, express or
implied including merchantability and
fitness for a particular purpose are
excluded. CTS shall not be liable for any
consequential, incidental, or special
damages arising directly or indirectly
from the use of the material.
7. Caution:
CONCRETE MIX contains cement-
itious materials and may cause irritation
to lungs, eyes and skin. Avoid contact.
Use only in adequate ventilation. Do not
breath dust. Wet mixture may cause
burns. Wear suitable gloves, eye
protection and protective clothing. In
case of skin contact, wash thoroughly
with soap and water. In case of eye
contact, flush immediately and
repeatedly with large quantities of water
and get prompt medical attention. In case
of difficulty breathing, remove person to
fresh air. If difficulty breathing persists,
seek medical attention.
