Phoscrete® Concrete is a super-strong, super fast-setting concrete material developed from the patented Stellar Binder System™.
Unlike any other cementitious material on the market, Phoscrete forms an epoxy-type bond to concrete creating a permanent repair normally possible with only far more expensive and exotic materials.
Before Phoscrete it was often necessary to completely replace, or continually patch deteriorated concrete structures. Phoscrete’s® new technology now makes it possible to permanently repair runways, roads, curbs driveways, patios, porches, floors, and other concrete surfaces. Phoscrete repairs will last as long as the original structure.
Phoscrete requires no water to set. For industrial use, Phoscrete is supplied as a dry mix with a unique "liquid activator." For retail use, Phoscrete is supplied as a slurry along with a "powder activator." Simply add the activator to Phoscrete® and minutes later, it sets hard.
Product Advantages
Installations
Bonds permanently to existing concrete
Most concrete repair materials form a mechanical bond to existing concrete. As they reach their final cure, they shrink slightly and weaken their bond. Once exposed to physical abuse, the bond is then easily broken, and the material pops off the surface of the concrete. Phoscrete® chemically bonds to existing concrete and actually expands slightly as it sets, creating a permanent repair, even when exposed to extreme physical abuse.

Performance
Inhibits rusting of reinforcing steel
Phoscrete® has the unique ability to protect imbedded steel from corrosion. When steel corrodes, it creates pressure that causes the overlying concrete to crack. This creates a "domino effect" in which the imbedded steel is further exposed to air and water, increasing its corrosion. In addition, when concrete cracks, the water that enters may freeze and even further crack the concrete. Phoscrete® actually inhibits rusting of reinforcing steel when used to repair deteriorated concrete where re-rod is exposed.
Resists freeze-thaw cycling
Other concrete repair materials are porous (usually with at least 10% porosity). Therefore when exposed to freeze-thaw cycling, water enters the material, freezes, and causes the material to fail, both internally and on the bond line between it and the existing concrete. Phoscrete® has less than 3% porosity, so even when exposed to drastic temperature changes and freeze-thaw cycling, the Phoscrete® repair will last.
High early and ultimate strengths
Phoscrete® achieves substantially higher early strengths and substantially higher ultimate strengths than other concrete repair materials on the market. These higher early strengths allow Phoscrete® to be exposed to traffic sooner. Typically Phoscrete® may be exposed to rubber tire traffic after only thirty minutes. Phoscrete® higher ultimate strengths make it the clear choice for long-term applications.
Phoscrete Packaging:
Phoscrete is manufactured and delivered in two parts: liquid activator and dry aggregate. The liquid activator is packaged in both jugs and drums. Please note that delivery in drums may require special placarding.
The dry aggregate is packaged in either palletized bags or pails.
