RSLMC GUIDELINES
Rapid Set® Latex Modified Concrete

Batching


Accurate proportioning and thorough mixing are crucial requirements of a mixer of Rapid Set® Latex Modified Concrete (RSLMC). To assure the inspector and owner that the concrete being delivered to the deck is of proper and uniform composition, the following guidelines are suggested:

  • The capacity of the mixer and bulk materials handling system should be such that a minimum of 6 cubic yards per hour can be accurately proportioned, mixed, placed, and finished properly.
  • A cement meter, with ticket printout is a desirable feature to assure uniformity of composition. Alternate techniquest may be available, but should be approved by the owner.
  • All ingredients should be accurately and positively proportioned by weight with an approved scale.
  • Mixing should be done with equipment that will not be aggravated by residual buildup of concrete. Ready mix trucks are not recommended.

Mixed material should be discharged on the deck in the sufficient time for the finishing operations to be completed. The working time of Rapid Set® Latex Modified Concrete (RSLMC) is largely dependent on temperature and as with regular Portland LMC it can be as short as 10 minutes in hot, windy, dry weather.
