Using Bamburi Powercrete Cement

Surface Preparation

For optimal Powercrete results, rigorous surface preparation is essential. Ensure a stable, aggressively roughened substrate. Remove all loose material, weak concrete, and contaminants.

Eliminate oils and chemicals with heavy-duty scabbling or high-pressure blasting. Clean rebar thoroughly. This preparation guarantees a superior bond, ensuring durable, high-strength Powercrete structures.

Remove dust, dirt, and loose particles from the surface.

Clear any grease or oil stains completely.

Level the surface for uniform application.

Lightly moisten the area before use (avoid soaking).

Repair cracks or weak spots beforehand.

Mixing

Mixing POWERCRETE 52.5 correctly unlocks its highest strength and efficiency for precast or industrial uses. Use clean water and quality aggregates, measured precisely with a bucket or wheelbarrow.

Blend until uniform, minimizing water to maintain strength and reduce paste, ensuring a durable mix that guards against alkali-aggregate reactions.

Thoroughly mixing Bamburi PowerCRETE 52.5 Cement with clean water and quality aggregates to achieve a uniform, high-strength blend for precast and industrial applications.

Use clean water free of salts or impurities.

Select aggregates meeting quality standards.

Measure cement, sand, and aggregates accurately.

Stir until the mix is a consistent color.

Avoid overmixing to preserve strength.

Application

Applying POWERCRETE 52.5 effectively harnesses its ultra-high strength for slabs, poles, or foundations. Spread evenly, compact thoroughly, and finish smoothly to leverage its fast-setting nature.

Follow mix designs and cure well to minimize cracking, ensuring top performance and durability in high-strength concrete for bridges or heavy-duty floors.
