FX-32 Concrete Mix AE

DESCRIPTION:

FX-32 Concrete Mix AE is a single component high slump, shrinkage compensated concrete. FX-32 Concrete Mix AE benefits by containing air entrainment with special cements, aggregates and an integral corrosion inhibitor to protect reinforcing steel. Additional admixtures allow for easy placement and added bond strength. Air Entrainment gives FX-32 Concrete Mix AE excellent durability and freeze thaw resistance. It is easy to use, requiring only potable water at the jobsite.

FX-32 Concrete Mix AE can be used on: Tunnels, Roads, Balconies, Parking Decks, and Elevated Structures. For partial or full depth repairs.

ADVANTAGES:

Excellent compressive and bond strengths, Normal set time, with continued strength gains past 28 days, Shrinkage compensated, Easy placement by hand or pump, Air Entrained for Resistance to Freeze Thaw Cycling, Formulated to Inhibit Alkali Silica Reaction, Excellent bond to Concrete substrates.

APPLICATION:

Add potable water to FX-32 Concrete Mix AE at a rate of approximately 2.5 quarts per 60lb bag. Use normal mechanical mixer appropriate for mixing concrete with coarse aggregate. Mix FX-32 Concrete Mix AE with measured water for no more than 3 minutes. Pre-dampen substrate to a "Surface saturated, dry" condition with clean water for good bond. No special curing is required. Always follow ACI guidelines for application and curing methods.

PACKAGING:

FX-32 Concrete Mix AE is packaged in 60lb Kraft paper bags. Each bag yields approximately .47 cubic feet when mixed with approximately 2.5 quarts of potable water.

LIMITATIONS:

FX-32 Concrete Mix AE should be used when ambient temperatures are 40° F (4° C) and rising. Lower temperatures produce a slower set; higher temperatures produce a faster set. For temperatures below 40°F (4°C) consult with the manufactures for special cold weather placement provisions which include but are not limited to conditioning of the materials, use of heated mix water and thermal protection. In hot weather use chilled water for mixing. FX-32 Concrete Mix AE should not be applied at less than 1" (12.7 mm) thickness.

CAUTION:

WARNING! CONTAINS FREE SILICA & PORTLAND CEMENT. DO NOT BREATHE DUST. May cause delayed lung injury (silicosis). Follow OSHA safety and health standards for crystalline silica (quartz). Cement powder or freshly mixed concrete , grout or mortar may cause skin injury. Avoid contact with skin and wash exposed skin areas promptly with water. If any cement powder or mixture gets into the eyes, rinse immediately and repeatedly with water and get prompt medical attention.
