Slump of Krete100® is at 2 1/2" or 6 (cm) by its workability always visualized as a concrete with slump at least 5" or 13 (cm).
The simplicity of Krete100® texturing without any surface curing saves on work hours while giving high quality and durability.
Picture of textured Krete100® taken after 5 years showing well-preserved, sharp edges in a trafficked area requiring deicing treatments every winter.
(At left) Krete100® was used to repair the Vilnius airport loading area. The project was completed in 4 hours and exceeded the customer's expectations.
Krete100®'s surface hardness is recognized by ACI 300 for Category D for distribution centers and truck stops.
__________ 1. Measure the area to be repaired, “A” in square feet.
___________2. Standard Krete100® consumption with layer thickness at 1” is 6.35 LB per 1 SF.
___________3. Consumption of Krete100® is: “A” x 6.35 = “W”, LB.
___________4. If a thinner overlay is required, for instance ½”, multiply “W” x ½ to get the required weight of Krete100®.
___________5. If a thicker overlay is required, for instance 2 ½”, then multiply “W” x 2 ½ to get required weight of Krete100®
___________6.
Determining the most economical method of Krete100® application will depend on how large that area is. The right choice will save money, construction time and labor cost. Therefore, unload Krete100®:
- by bobcat onto an area that requires no more than 3 to 4 workers. This video shows a batch of Krete100® with a W/C of 0.465 and slump of 3 3/4".
- by hose onto an area that requires over 4 workers. This video shows the batch flow with W/C = 0.493 and slump 4.5". The length of the hose is 190'.

(Left) A sample of Krete100® placed without finishing. At right is the same batch of Krete100® placed with tamping.
Pigment can be added to Krete100®, with the same high resistance to dusting wear, delamination and cornering wear.
Many projects are required to be completed overnight. Krete100® offers fast setting times (4 hours) and a high density, durable and thin overlay with a variety of finishes. Fields of application include driveways, roads and pavements, basements, loading docks, septic tanks and courtyards.
