HIGH PERFORMANCE ALL-IN-ONE
ADMIXTURE ​FOR PRE-CAST CONCRETE

A new generation, all-in-one admixture exclusively for architectural or decorative concrete pre-casting. It’s designed to achieve a water/cement ratio of 0.30, a slump of 6” – 7”, and to break molds in 4 to 7 hours. ProCast PC-1  is a combination of highly efficient water reducing and waterproofing compounds. It has been successfully used in all types of architectural or decorative precast concrete for waterproofing and to improve workability, durability and strength.
​
ProCast PC-1 ​  is suitable for potable water and subsequent finishing applications.

PROCAST PC-1 SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR THE PRECASTER WILL:

• INCREASE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
• ENHANCE PIGMENT UNIFORMITY & COLOR INTENSITY
• REDUCE PINHOLES
• REDUCE REJECTS​

• ​REDUCE MOLD RELEASE TIME
• REDUCE MOLD BREAKAGE
• REDUCE EFFLORESCENCE
• REDUCE OR ELIMINATE VIBRATION REQUIRED

PROCAST PROVIDES THE BENEFITS OF OUR ICONIC WATERPROOFING TECHNOLOGY

• ​HIGH STRENGTH - Dramatically Increases Strength - Compressive, Flexural, And Tensile
• HARDENING & DENSIFYING - Over 30% Harder And Denser
• VAPOR CONTROL - Reduces All Vapor Transmission Up To 85%
• INCREASED ABRASION RESISTANCE - Resists Scratches, Gouges & Wear Due To Increased Hardness
• COLD WEATHER PROTECTION - Keeps Concrete & Mortar From Freezing, Sets Quickly
• CORROSION RESISTANCE - No Penetration Of Chemicals Minimizes Corrosion

All of these attributes add up to DURABILTY!

PAVER STONE COMPARISON

PROCAST PC-1  VS.  COMPETITOR

ProCast PC-1 replaced 3 admixtures including a stearate based water repellent. The paver company’s formula is proprietary.

PAVER: PROCAST PC-1

PAVER: COMPETITOR

**Color difference caused by poor pigment dispersion & efflorescence.

THE RESULTS

14 DAY COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH AS PER ASTM C936

COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH

PROCAST PC-1: 8600 PSI    VS.     COMPETITOR: 6500 PSI

The ProCast PC-1 pavers displayed more than a 25% increase in compressive strength. It is important to note that as per the ASTM standard an average compressive strength of 8000 psi is required with no single test below 7200 psi.  In this case the ProCast PC-1 material met the standard and the competitor did not.

ABSORPTION

PROCAST PC-1: 2.6%     VS.     COMPETITOR: 1.8%

The standard for absorption is an average of 5% with no single result above 7%.  In both cases the pavers are all well within standard. In this test we utilize ProCast PC-1 at a rate below its recommended use but still achieved almost comparable results.

VISUAL OBSERVATION

EFFLORESCENCE
​PROCAST PC-1:

Color looks uniform and consistent, no indication of calcium hydroxide migration to surface.

EFFLORESCENCE
​COMPETITOR:

Significant whiteness possible
calcium hydroxide migration.
