High-strength, rapid hardening, preblended concrete requiring only the addition of water. Designed to build or repair concrete sidewalks, driveways, highways, bridge decks, concrete parking lots and concrete floors.
Quikrete FastSet Concrete Mix is a commercial-grade, rapid-hardening concrete designed for structural repairs and new construction where high early strength is required. It can be used for projects ranging from 2 to 24 inches thick, including sidewalks, bridge decks, highways, driveways, and floors. The formulation minimizes shrinkage compared to ordinary Portland cement concrete and can include an optional corrosion inhibitor for enhanced durability. FastSet Concrete Mix exceeds ASTM C928 Type R3 standards and achieves over 7,000 psi compressive strength in 28 days:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}.

How quickly can Quikrete FastSet be put into service?
Most repairs can be placed into service within a few hours after setting, depending on temperature and humidity.
What is the recommended mixing time?
Mix for 4–5 minutes using a concrete or mortar mixer to achieve a uniform consistency.
Can it be used in cold or hot weather?
Yes. Follow ACI 305R for hot weather and ACI 306R for cold weather concreting. Adjust water temperature accordingly.
Is special curing required?
No, but applying Quikrete Acrylic Concrete Cure and Seal (#8730) is recommended for optimum curing and protection.
What is the maximum slump allowed?
A maximum slump of 5 inches (125 mm) is recommended to maintain strength and performance.
