Rapid Strength Concrete

Rapid Strength Concrete

A new rapid hardening concrete solution that can help save valuable hours

In today’s fast-paced and highly competitive construction industry, meeting tight deadlines while staying efficient is crucial. That’s where Procon Rapid Strength comes in — a rapid hardening concrete designed to save valuable hours on the job.

Procon Rapid Strength behaves much like conventional concrete but reaches accelerated strength in just four hours. It retains flow and workability for up to 120 minutes, and formwork can be removed after only six hours — saving both time and cost.

This makes it ideal for time-sensitive projects like road and rail repairs, where reducing traffic disruption is essential. Its performance is thanks to a carefully engineered mix design and specialised admixtures.

Launched nationally, Procon Rapid Strength works with a wide range of cements and delivers consistent results. It’s suitable for both readymix and precast applications.
