New QUIKRETE® Re-Cap
Concrete Resurfacer Highlights International Builders’ Show
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bond?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#Bondlt;/agt;–Concrete repair is a high priority to many people according to nearly 15
million QUIKRETE®
video views in 2018. Four of the top ten most viewed how-to videos on
the QUIKRETE®
website and YouTube
channel last year involved repair with resurfacing concrete being
the most popular. QUIKRETE® is addressing this trend by
promoting its full line of repair products including the new QUIKRETE®
Re-Cap Concrete Resurfacer and QUIKRETE®
Advanced Polymer Sealants & Adhesives at the International
Builders’ Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center from Feb. 19-22, 2019.
QUIKRETE® Re-Cap Concrete Resurfacer
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, 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.
QUIKRETE® Advanced Polymer Sealants & Adhesives
A
solvent and isocyanate free line of high-performance, commercial-grade
flexible repair and bonding materials that meet ASTM C920 standards.
Designed to deliver or exceed the performance of traditional
polyurethane or silicone sealants and adhesives, the single-component

environmentally-friendly alternatives available in 10-ounce tubes.
