At Brothers II Concrete, we pride ourselves on leveraging innovative technology to provide our clients with the best solutions in concrete services. Our mobile concrete plants are uniquely designed to be the cost-effective answer to working with Rapid Set Cement, also known as CSA (calcium sulfoaluminate cement).
What is CSA – Rapid Set Cement?
CSA, or calcium sulfoaluminate cement, is a revolutionary material in the construction industry. Known for its rapid setting and high-performance characteristics, CSA is an ideal choice for projects requiring quick turnaround times without compromising on durability and strength.
Benefits of Using Brothers II Mobile Concrete Plants for CSA
Our mobile concrete plants are specially designed to deliver exact proportions of the raw materials used to manufacture CSA. This precision ensures the highest performance, durable, and long-lasting materials available. Here are some key features of our Rapid Set CSA:
Low Shrinkage
CSA cement has low shrinkage properties, which ensures virtually no cracks in the finished product. This is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of your construction projects.
Quick Setting Time
One of the standout features of CSA is its ability to be ready for use quickly. You can drive on or build on the material within just one hour of application. Additionally, it reaches its final strength in just one day, significantly speeding up project timelines.
Low Drying Shrinkage
With 70% less drying shrinkage compared to traditional ready-mix cement, CSA ensures a more stable and long-lasting finished product.
Chemical Resistance
CSA is highly resistant to chemicals, making it an excellent choice for environments where exposure to harsh substances is a concern.
No Reaction to Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR)
CSA has zero reaction to alkali-silica reaction (ASR), a common issue with traditional cements that can cause significant structural problems over time.
Extended Lifetime
CSA offers an extended lifetime, lasting up to 80 years before needing replacement. This longevity makes it a cost-effective choice for long-term projects.
