Overview:

Dense Concrete with No Pinholes: Ultra Adpack makes strong, dense, and flowable concrete, and can yield exceptional surface details with minimal effort. Coupled with UltraFlow, your concrete can flow like syrup and make casting fast, efficient, with superior surface quality and exceptional casting detail. It virtually eliminates pinholes.

Stronger Concrete Faster: Ultra Adpack's exceptionally high early strength means you can demold and handle your pieces quickly and with confidence. It reaches one-day flexural strength that competitors take a week to achieve and hits peak strength in 7 days, exceeding their 28-day results. The bottom line is that your concrete is stronger and more durable, and you have more confidence and fewer failures.

Saves You Money and Time: Ultra Adpack eliminates the need for sourcing, storing, and batching separate liquid curing polymers, pozzolans, defoamers, and shrinkage reducers. Add Ultra Adpack to your own sand and cement, and you can easily create hard, dense concrete with very high early strength, yet still remain economical when it comes to the cost of making your concrete.

Rigorously Tested and Engineered for Success: Ultra Adpack was developed by an actual licensed civil engineer with nearly 25 years of experience making creative concrete and has undergone years of testing. It was crafted with expert knowledge and attention to detail, making it a product suited for professionals who want precision and reliability.

Compatible with Portland Cement: Ultra Adpack is highly effective and fully compatible with Portland cement but should not be used in CSA-cement based mixes, as CSA cement does not activate pozzolans.

Benefits:

• Greatly increases flexural (bending) and compressive strength.
• Increases one day strength for early and confident demolding.
• Designed for the production of UHPC, GFRC and ECC.
• Well suited for many casting and finishing techniques, such as spraying, SCC, direct casting, hand-packing, and troweling.
• Increases density and hardness.
• Improves workability and flowability.
• Increases surface quality and helps capture fine detail.
• Improves color dispersion and intensity.
• Contains a powerful defoamer that helps significantly reduce pinholes and eliminate foaming.
• Simplifies sourcing and batching.
• Easy to dose and mix.
• Eliminates the need for a 7-day wet cure.
• Helps reduce drying shrinkage cracks, surface crazing and curling.
• Unaffected by freezing temperatures during shipping or storage.
• Suitable for all interior and exterior applications in all climates because it is UV stable and provides freeze/thaw resistance.

Coverage:

Some manufacturers state their coverage at 1 inch thick, even though this is not a typical thickness. However, for comparison: One 30 pound bag of Ultra Adpack will make 294 pounds of concrete that covers 26 square feet at 1 inch thick. The same amount of concrete (294 lbs) will cover 34.6 square feet at 3/4" thick.

• At the per bag price of $99.99, this equates to $2.89 per square foot for 3/4" concrete or $3.85 per square foot for 1" concrete.
• At the pallet price of $85.99 per bag, this equates to $2.49 per square foot for 3/4" concrete or $3.31 per square foot for 1" concrete.

Ultra Adpack goes further than other admix blends. For example, one other admix's 30 pound bag will make 188.2 pounds of concrete that covers 14.6 square feet at 1 inch thick. This equates to $5.82 per square foot. However on a per bag basis, this admix costs slightly less.

When choosing a blended admix product, don't be fooled by a per bag price. Understand the real coverage and yield of the product in order to make a fair comparison. And of course consider quality and performance first.

Mixing Instructions:

Concrete made with Ultra Adpack is most effective when pre-blended into your sand before adding your mix water.

Ice should be used to chill the mix water to 55°F to 65°F. Chilling your concrete greatly increases working time and improves flowability. Use the CCI calculator for determining ice quantities needed.

1. Dry blend together all of the sand, Ultra Adpack, plus pigments and UltraFlow as needed.
2. Add all the mix water plus ice to the sand + admixtures. Mix until all dry material is wetted out.
3. Gradually add all the cement and blend until fully mixed.
   • • Add about half of the cement and blend until mix wets out.
     • Add half of the remaining cement and blend further until mix wets out.
     • Add remaining cement and blend until all dry ingredients are incorporated.
     • Scrape the bucket and the mixing paddles well, then mix continuously on medium to high speed for no less than 2 full minutes. This is most important for flowable SCC/direct cast mixes.
4. Add fibers last. Gradually add the fibers to prevent clumping and mix slowly to prevent whipping air into the mix. Ensure the fibers are fully wetted out and well dispersed throughout the mix. Do not mix on high speed.
