PLATINUM SERVICES
Purchase American Concrete’s Platinum mix and not only get expertly applied curing (same-day) and sealing (28th day), but a performance enhanced mix reinforced with Fiber Mesh 300 (4500 PSI Concrete).
Curing and sealing is the most overlooked part of most concrete projects. Properly curing and sealing your concrete is the most cost effective way to protect your investment. Next time you have a concrete project where durability and appearance matter, call the professionals at American and ask for information on Platinum Services.
CURE
Our Platinum Services will Eco Cure your project the same day we pour.
- Curing is maintaining an adequate moisture and temperature in concrete so it can develop the strength and durability the mixture was
designed to achieve.
- Curing leads to increased strength and lower permeability, and helps reduce cracking by preventing the surface from drying out prematurely.
- Improper curing can cause scaling, reduced strength, poor abrasion resistance, and cracking.
SEAL
Our Platinum Services will SpecShield seal your project 28 days after the initial pour, ensuring dependable protection from water and chemical penetration.
- Sealers can block surface moisture penetration which can transmit harmful
chemicals that induce freeze/thaw damage
- The National Ready Mix Concrete Association confirms that almost all damage to concrete is attributable to moisture intrusion: alkali-silica reaction (ASR), chemical intrusion, freeze/thaw, and corrosion.
FIBERS
American Concrete's Platinum Servcices include Fiber Mesh 300 which provices reinforcement and protection against cracking.
Fibers are most commonly used for:
- Slabs-on-ground
- Composite metal decks
- Curbs
- Driveways
- Overlays
- Stucco
- Slope paving
- Toppings
- Shotcrete
What Fibers Can Do For You.
- Fibers are used in concrete to control cracking due to both plastic shrinkage and drying shrinkage.
- Fiber Mesh 300 is an alternate system to welded wire reinforcement for secondary reinforcing in concrete.
- Fibers reinforce against impact forces, water migration, shattering forces, and material loss from abrading forces.
