PRODUCT DATASHEET
DESCRIPTION: CTS 24/6 CONCRETE MIX is a high-performance, multipurpose, concrete
for use where fast strength gain and high ultimate strength are desired. Durable in wet
environments, 24/6 CONCRETE MIX is a blend of portland cement, high-performance
additives, and quality aggregates. 24/6 CONCRETE MIX is ready for foot trafc in 8-10 hours
and reaches structural strength in 24 hours.
USES: Use 24/6 CONCRETE MIX for general and structural concrete repair, setting posts,
driveways, walkways, oors, sidewalks, patios, formed work, footings, and more.
APPLICATION: Apply 24/6 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.
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 24/6 CONCRETE
MIX to a thoroughly saturated surface with no standing water.
MIXING: Use 2.25 to 3 quarts (2.1 to 2.8 L) of clean, potable water per 60-lb (27.2-
kg) bag. Use less water to achieve higher strengths. Do not exceed 3 quarts (2.8 L)
of water per bag. Admixtures and Rapid Set Concrete Pharmacy products must not be
added. Do not retemper. Mechanical Mixing – The use of a mortar mixer, concrete mixer,
or a drill-mounted mixer is recommended. Place the desired quantity of mix water into the
mixing container. While the mixer is running, add 24/6 CONCRETE MIX. Mix for the minimum
amount of time required to achieve a lump-free, uniform consistency (usually 1 to 3 minutes).
Hand Mixing – Place the desired quantity of mix water into the mixing container. Add 24/6
CONCRETE MIX and mix using a shovel or hoe. Turn and fold the mix until a lump-free,
uniform consistency is achieved.
PLACEMENT: Organize work so that all personnel and equipment are ready before
placement. Use a method of consolidation that eliminates air voids. Place, consolidate
and screed quickly. 24/6 CONCRETE MIX may be troweled, oated or broom nished. On
atwork, do not install in layers. Install full-depth sections and progress horizontally. For
every 6' to 8' (1.83 m to 2.44 m), cut a control joint with depth equal to one third of the
slab thickness. Do not install on frozen surfaces. 24/6 CONCRETE MIX may be applied in
temperatures ranging from 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C).
CURING: Water cure all 24/6 CONCRETE MIX installations by keeping exposed surfaces
wet for a minimum of 3 days using common curing methods. Begin curing after
nishing the surface. Alternatively, a curing compound may be used in accordance
with manufacturer’s instructions. When experiencing extended setting time due to cold
temperature, longer curing times may be required.
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 signicantly affected. To compensate
for cold temperatures, keep material warm, use heated mix water and follow ACI 306
Procedures for Cold Weather Concreting.
