Fast concrete repairs can be carried out with Flowcon's new Ultracrete product
The new Flowcon product from 2492 Ultracrete is aimed at use in general concrete repairs and is said to offer a simple, multi-use system. This general-purpose flowable concrete is designed to offer a quality mix without the waste and inconsistency of site mixed materials. A 25kg bag can provide the correct material quantities for application depths from 20-200mm in one pass. The Flowcon bags contain aggregate, sands, chemical admixtures as well as a small pack of specialist cements and all the user has to do is add water, before applying. A single bag will provide 1m² and once the material has been applied it will achieve a compressive strength of 35.0N/mm² within 1 day and 77.0 N/mm² within 28 days. According to Ultracrete this is nearly double the strength gain of competing products.
