What Goes Into Ready Mixed Concrete?
There are many types of concrete available. By dictating the proportions of the concrete’s main ingredients, the finished product can be tailored to its application with varying strength, density, or chemical and thermal resistance properties. The following contents of concrete come together to produce a product that can perfectly suit your needs:
-
Aggregate
Coarse gravel, limestone, granite as well as finer materials such as sand make up aggregate which goes into the concrete mix.
-
Cement
Commonly known as “Portland cement,” this ingredient is crucial in the creation of concrete.
-
Water
Water is necessary to create the chemical process that solidifies and hardens concrete. Mixing water with the dry powder/aggregate blend will produce a semi-liquid that can be shaped to suit your construction needs.
-
Chemical Admixtures
These ingredients can be added to the concrete to achieve varied properties. Chemical admixtures may accelerate or slow down the rate at which the concrete hardens. Other properties, such as increased tensile strength, entrainment of air, and water resistance, may also be imparted by chemical admixtures.
-
Mineral Admixtures
Using recycled materials in the production of concrete reduces the number of resources required. Fly ash, silica fume, and ground granulated blast furnace slag can all be used as mineral admixtures.
-
Color Additive
Using iron oxide pigments we have the ability add color to your concrete. This can be applied to many projects such as patios, driveways, flooring, and any other project you may have. We have a wide array of colors to choose from, and are more than willing to help you find the perfect shade.
