What is Recrete 20 Minute?
Recrete 20 Minute is a polymer-modified, fast-setting cement repair mortar for vertical, overhead, and horizontal patches on interior or exterior concrete subject to light traffic.
How fast does it set?
Initial set is about 20 minutes and final set about 30 minutes (ASTM C266). Mix only what you can place in that window. Do not retemper.
Can it be used overhead?
Yes. The putty-like consistency is intended for vertical and overhead work that needs to be shaped, molded, and sanded after initial set.
How thick can a patch be?
Minimum thickness is 1/8 in. Maximum neat lift is 2 in. Larger repairs can be extended with clean SSD pea gravel per the datasheet. Do not use it to resurface large floors.
How do the pack sizes compare?
This page is the 50 lb pail. The same mortar is also listed as the Recrete 20 Minute 50 lb bag.
Should Acrylic Bonding Agent J40 be used?
J40 is recommended as part of the mix water for freeze-thaw exposure or when higher adhesion is desired. Dilute J40 with up to 3 parts water per the Recrete datasheet.
