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.

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.
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.
