Product Description:
The primary use of the Concure
Admixture is for below, on or
above grade concrete slab.
This type of admixture takes the
guesswork out of where to use a
vapor barrier. A key benefit is that
it provides the architect and
flooring manufactures a successful
floor while reducing greatly the
possibility of debonding of flooring
materials due to moisture migration or capillary action from inside the
slab. The Concure Admixture when used alone acts as a
plasticizer, water reducer, creates
high early benefits and eliminates
the use of other types of
admixtures all together. The
Concure Admixture is
environmentally safe and has zero
VOC's.
Benefits:
Improves freeze thaw resistance
Dust proofs
Controls vapor emission
Stops metal corrosion (re-bar)
Resists spalling and cracking
Faster finishing time
Reduces shrinkage cracks
Maintain good flexibility at low
slump
Prevents capillary action
Reduces water, salt & alkali intrusion
Resistant to chemical & acid attack
moisture migration to occur will be eliminated.
Plasticizer:
Once the Concure Admixture is
added to the mix design it will gel
with the water to allow the concrete
to be flexible at low slump.
Water Reducer:
The Concure Admixture is used
in lieu of the partial water
requirement. This in itself will
eliminate bleed water (i.e. finishing
is started as the concrete is
placed).
Accelerator/High Early:
With the elimination of bleed water
and the increased density of Concrete the admixture will
accelerate the hydration time.

* Concure Admixture is used in lieu of water, not in addition. The water to cement ratio is critical. It is Imperative to stay close to the water to cement ratio. Using a low water to cement ratio. maintain a 6" slump with a super plasticizer as an additive and not water.
Dispensing:
The Concure Admixture is added
at the batch plant or job site at 14
oz. per sack. Additional dosage
may be required for an increase in
high early benefits. The minimum
amount to be added to any
concrete mix design is 50 oz.
Use non-chlorinated additives with
the Concure Admixture such asaccelerators, plasticizers, and
water reducers.
*Air entrainment is not needed.
*Retarders may be used when
temperatures exceed 75°F.
Mixing:
"Batch Plant" Concure Admixture is poured into
a clean empty drum with 25% of
the water that is specified. Rotate
drum for approx. 2 minutes to
assure that admixture is disturbed.
Then add the remainder of the
water and dry mix (i.e. sand,
cement, aggregate). Rotate drum
for at least 5 minutes before
discharge.
Mixing:
"Job Site" ;
Add the Concure Admixture to
the concrete truck and let drum
rotate for at least one minute per
cubic yard of concrete. For a ten
yard mixer, allow at least ten
minutes before discharge.
