Weld Crete® Concrete Bonding Agent

Weld-Crete®, bonds new concrete, stucco, tile setting beds, and terrazzo to any structural surface, be it on the interior or exterior. Weld-Crete’s® open time lets you bond to concrete shear walls when needing a time lapse between the application of the bonding agent, the placement of reinforcement steel, placement of formwork, or the placement of concrete. Conveniently, Weld-Crete® can be “painted on” in a single application for a wide range of time-lapses.
