OverviewQuick Set 40N Concrete is a rapid-hardening, high-performance C40 premixed concrete formulated for highway and other high-traffic environments. Supplied as a one-component blend of cements, additives and graded aggregates in 25 kg water-resistant bags, it requires only the addition of water on site. The set product has a light grey finish suitable for both surface and subsurface applications.
Key product features- Rapid hardening for fast return to service.
- High final strength consistent with C40 specification.
- Premixed, one-component formulation—add water only on site.
- Packaged in 25 kg water-resistant bags; yield approx. 12.5 litres per bag.
- Light grey finish when set; appropriate for highway installations.
Applications- Installation of posts (including telephone poles), street lighting columns and similar posts.
- Installation of highway furniture, traffic signs and sign bases.
- Roadside barriers and foundations for speed cameras and equipment.
- Concreting tasks requiring fast setting and high early and final strength in high-use or high-traffic areas.
Benefits- Simple on-site use: premixed product—only water addition required.
- Workability typically 5–10 minutes at 20°C (WSR 0.13).
- Rapid setting: sets in approximately 15 minutes under standard laboratory conditions (20°C).
- Designed for high final compressive strength and reliable performance in highways environments.
