Concrete giant enters niche countertop market

摘要

Quikrete, the largest manufacturer of packaged concrete in the United States, recently launched its own line of concrete countertop mix. Requiring only the addition of water, the mix includes a superplas-ticizer additive and other key ingredients to provide a flowable mix at a low water-to-cement ratio that greatly reduces the need for mechanical vibration. In other words, it's perfect for precast and cast-in-place countertops.
