QUIKRETE® Re-Cap Introduced at World of Concrete
January 22, 2019
New Resurfacer Arms Contractors with Unmatched Concrete
Restoration Capabilities
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bond?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#Bondlt;/agt;–QUIKRETE®,
the leading manufacturer of pre-blended commercial-grade cement and
concrete products, has redefined concrete restoration with its new QUIKRETE®
Re-Cap Concrete Resurfacer. An affordable and effective alternative
to replacing worn concrete, QUIKRETE® Re-Cap Concrete
Resurfacer highlights the family of QUIKRETE® products that
will be on display at the World of Concrete in booth S10326 at the Las
Vegas Convention Center from Jan. 22-25, 2019.
Designed to repair and renew old, spalled concrete with a permanent wear
resistant surface that can withstand foot, vehicle and other heavy
traffic, the new QUIKRETE® Re-Cap Concrete Resurfacer has a
bond to concrete that is four times stronger than the concrete itself.
That means, a concrete substrate will fracture or crack before its bond
with QUIKRETE® Re-Cap Concrete Resurfacer. In addition,
QUIKRETE® Re-Cap Concrete Resurfacer has superior working
time and flow characteristics than other resurfacers on the market. As a
result, it’s easier and faster to transform a deteriorated concrete
surface into a durable, long-lasting sidewalk, driveway or patio.
A proprietary blend of Portland cement, graded sand, polymer resins and
other additives, QUIKRETE® Re-Cap Concrete Resurfacer is a
proven shrinkage compensated repair material for making thin structural
repairs to sound concrete in need of surface renewal. Applied with a
squeegee, trowel or brush, one 40-pound bag will cover approximately 40
square feet at 1/8 inch thick and up to 80 square feet as skim coat.
With a walk-on time of eight hours and drive-on time of 24 hours, it can
renew a surface for about 25 cents per square foot versus more between
$3.50 and $5.50 per square foot to remove and pour a new slab.
“Far less labor intensive and disruptive than replacing concrete, using
QUIKRETE® Re-Cap Concrete Resurfacer can produce a
high-volume of profitable concrete restoration jobs for contractors,”
said Frank Owens, Vice President of Marketing for The QUIKRETE®
Companies. “It also extends the life of the concrete with a durable new
surface that requires little maintenance, and can be stamped or colored.”
Hourly product demonstrations will be conducted daily in booth S10326
from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. with one randomly selected person winning
$1,000 for attending. For more information about QUIKRETE®
