Typical Properties

When mixed to a 75mm slump (approximately 150 L of water per 1650 kg bulk bag), MSI Standard Pre-Mixed Concrete will reach 28-day strengths of 30 MPa or higher.

Admixture Options
Any admixture or a combination of several admixtures can drastically alter the plastic and cured state of MSI Pre-Mixed Dry Concretes. Below are admixture examples and their desired effects:

• Air Entrainment – Used to increase freeze thaw durability
• Super Plasticizers – To increase workability and strength
• Accelerators – Typically used in cold weather applications to decrease setting times
• Fiber Reinforcements – Used to increase durability and minimize cracking
• Shrinkage Reducing – Used to minimize cracks, curling and warping.
• Crystaline Water Proofing – Primarily used in water retention structures to prevent the ingress of water. This self healing admixture creates crystals when water is present generating a non-soluble formation within the concrete pores; permanently sealing the concrete, preventing penetration of water and other liquids.
• Colors – We have access to several different pigments to change the look and feel of concrete. Typically used in landscaping applications for stamped concrete

 

Yield, Packaging and Concrete Shelf Life

• Multicrete Standard Pre-Mixed Dry Concrete is available in 1650 kg bulk bags that, when mixed with water; will produce one cubic yard of concrete.
• These bulk bags are capped and wrapped in durable poly plastics to prevent water from entering these bags when stored outside.
• Additional protection (covering with tarps or placed into a structure) from the elements may be required if bags are to be left outside for longer periods of time.
• If protected from the elements, bagged materials should be used up within one calendar year. If more time has passed, a couple simple tests can determine whether this older material is good for use.
• Custom packaging between 500 kg and 2200 kg is also available. Please contact Multicrete to discuss your packaging needs.
