PRODUCT DATASHEET
DESCRIPTION: Rapid Set
®
NEWCRETE is a high performance polymer-modified mortar
that can be used to resurface worn, old or spalled concrete, giving a new concrete look.
The advanced hydraulic cement used in NEWCRETE provides a durable surface for both
indoor and outdoor use. NEWCRETE has been specially formulated to match the color
of typical portland cement concrete. Cutting-edge self-curing technology (SCT) means
wet curing is not required in most applications. NEWCRETE has a working time of up to
30 minutes and can receive foot traffic in as soon as 2 to 3 hours.
USES: Use NEWCRETE to renew old, damaged or discolored concrete.
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGES: Use NEWCRETE 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 CTS representative for LEED values and
environmental information.
APPLICATION: Typical application thicknesses range from skim coat to 1/8" (0.32 cm).
NEWCRETE may be used to prefill cracks, spalls and holes up to 1/2" (1.2 cm) thick prior
to resurfacing. For larger repairs, use Rapid Set concrete repair products.
SURFACE PREPARATION: 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 NEWCRETE to
a surface that is thoroughly saturated with no standing water. Surface must have a
minimum temperature of 50˚F (10˚C).
PRIMING: Priming is not required. For porous substrates, use Rapid Set
®
Acrylic
Primer to minimize the formation of pinholes on the surface. Follow all product
application instructions.
MIXING: Organize work so that personnel and equipment are in place before mixing. Use
clean potable water. NEWCRETE may be mixed using 2.5 to 3 quarts (2.3 L to 2.8 L) of
water per 25-lb (11.3-kg) box. Use less water to achieve higher strengths. Do not
exceed 3 quarts (2.8 L) of water per box. Place the desired quantity of mix water into
the mixing container. Add material while mixing. Mix for the minimum amount of time
required to achieve a lump-free, uniform consistency (usually 2 to 3 minutes). Do not
retemper. Mixed NEWCRETE should be used within 30 minutes at 70˚F (21˚C).
PLACEMENT: Place quickly to allow for maximum finishing time. Once applied, typical
finishing time is 5 to 10 minutes. Thinner applications will set faster. Do not wait for
bleed water; apply final finish as soon as possible. NEWCRETE may be troweled, floated
or broom finished. Do not install on frozen surfaces.
COLD WEATHER: Environmental and material temperatures below 70˚F (21˚C) may delay
setting time and reduce the rate of strength gain. Lower temperatures will have a more
pronounced effect. Thinner sections will be more significantly affected. To compensate
for cold temperatures, keep material warm, and use heated mix water.
