USCP Deck Mix LW

USCP Deck Mix LW is a specialized cement-based repair mortar designed to be mixed with ASTM C 330 lightweight aggregate. This product is crafted to produce a lightweight concrete that enhances tensile and flexural strengths while providing air entrainment and an integral corrosion inhibitor. USCP Deck Mix LW is tailored for applications where the weight of standard Portland cement concrete is impractical, making it ideal for a variety of construction needs.

– Lightweight Composition: Formulated with lightweight aggregate to reduce overall structural weight.

– Enhanced Durability: Air entrainment for improved freeze-thaw resistance and an integral corrosion inhibitor to protect reinforcing steel.

– Shrinkage Compensated: Minimizes cracking and structural changes after setting.

– Easy Application: Simple mixing requirements and excellent finishing characteristics allow for smooth placement and texturing.

USCP Deck Mix LW is suitable for any construction area where the weight of traditional concrete would be a disadvantage, including overhead structures and areas requiring less stress on supporting frameworks.

To prepare USCP Deck Mix LW, add 2.5 quarts of potable water to each 10 lbs of C 330 lightweight aggregate per 50 lb bag of USCP Deck Mix LW in a mechanical mixer. Mix until the aggregate is well-coated and then gradually add the Deck Mix LW powder. Mix for no more than three minutes to avoid lumps. The prepared mix should be troweled into place, finished as desired, and kept moist to ensure proper curing, using a curing compound compliant with ASTM C 309 if necessary.

This product is perfect for reducing load-bearing weights in structures while maintaining the integrity and longevity of the concrete used in the construction process.
