Concrete Pharmacy® FLOW Control® — FAQs
Q: What is FLOW Control®?
A: It is an additive that increases the fluidity of your mix. It makes your mix more flowable without the addition of more water. The reduced mix water also increases the strength of your mix.
Q: How much is in a packet?
A: Each packet contains 60 grams (2.12 ounces).
Q: How much do I need to use?
A: 1 to 2 packets per 55 to 60 lb. bag of Rapid Set® product will produce a very fluid almost self-leveling “wet” mix. Add up to 4 packets per bag.
Q: How do I add it to my mix?
A: In 70° degree or warmer applications, add the FLOW Control® to your mix water first. In colder conditions, add the Flow Control® to your mixture once you have combined your Rapid Set® material and mix water.
Q: Can I use it with other additives?
A: It can be used in conjunction with other Rapid Set® Concrete Pharmacy® items or certain approved additives.
Q: Can I add it to other portland cement products?
A: Blending with other hydraulic cement products will increase fluidity, but a trial batch is always recommended to fine-tune your dosage and mix procedure.
Q: Where can I purchase it?
A: Rapid Set® Concrete Pharmacy® products are available nationwide through contractor supply yards and home improvement centers. We can ship direct to you in remote areas.
