UltraCrete RSC: Rapid Setting Cement (Pallet Offer 40x 20Kg Buckets)

Ultracrete RSC Rapid Set Cement, produces a super fast setting, high strength mortar when mixed with aggregates – when purchased as a pallet you get our very best trade price. It’s perfect for use on cable box floors, road crossings, signs and camera bases. RSC has a huge benefit for highways contractors that their repairs to paths, cycle tracks and roads can be opened sooner to traffic and pedestrians, in fact in just 1 hour.

Ultracrete RSC comes in a 20kg tub and contains a mix of approved chemical additives, which accelerate the process of hardening once the product is placed. When RSC is mixed with sand or sand/aggregates, it can be laid from 10mm-250mm in just one pass. Ultracrete RSC does not contain chloride, metallic aluminium, iron or carbon, which eliminates the problems associated with corrosion and or staining, meaning a clean, durable and lasting repair.

RSC Rapid Setting Cement can be mixed by hand or with a freefall mixer, the mixing proportions will ultimately vary depending on the design mix, to accommodate the strength needed and speed of set that is required for the repair. As a rough guide, the maximum size of the aggregate should not exceed one third of the thickness of the repair at its thinnest point. If RSC cement is bulked out with sand, the sand needs to be well graded, clean and sharp. However if bulking out with a coarse aggregate, you must ensure that it is clean and well-graded down from maximum.

Siliceous stone, granite or basalt chippings may be used for all applications. Please note that hard limestone should not be used in areas subject to acid attack.
