Ultra High Strength Concrete Countertop Mix

In this video, produced by Trinic LLC, Mark Celebuski explains the process for creating ultra high strength concrete countertop mixes of 12,000 psi or greater. He walks the viewer through the ratios of cement, stone, slag, admixtures, water and other additives (such as colloidal silica) to increase the strength of the concrete countertop mix. He also explains how to calculate your mix formula for a particular project. He then shows the actual mixing process.

While his mix does use the company’s proprietary admix, a concrete countertop maker could use a different admixture and adjust the process accordingly, which is why we felt it was a useful video to post.

All in all, it is very insightful (if you can overlook the radio playing in the background), and those in the concrete segment of the countertop industry may find it well worth a look.
