How strong is MystiCrete - what is the compressive strength of MystiCrete?
MystiCrete is reinforced concrete with polymer additives. The MystiCrete products test out a minimum of 3400 psi after 28 days of curing (and it continues to harden as it cures over time). (ASTM - C39)
The color runs through a ¾ inch thick layer. A "repair kit" is available, but because of the hardness of MystiCrete, there will be limited need for repairs in rare circumstances.
The special reinforced, polymer-added mix design makes MystiCrete products extremely durable, and crack-resistant. (ASTM - C496) (Tensile - 350psi)
With the polymer additives in the mix, MystiCrete will be more resistant to abrasion / wear than natural limestone or poured concrete.
Yes, virtually any type of concrete stain can be used to color the product - be sure to follow manufacturer's directions when applying these stains.
The initial absorption rate of MystiCrete is 0.0031mm/sqrtsec. Organic materials (leaves, rotten wood, wine, etc) & salts could leave temporary stains - but would be washed away over time (by rain, etc). Inorganic materials (paints, rust, fine red powdery colors in clays & sands), and non-soluble minerals could cause staining to MystiCrete, as well as other concrete surfaces, and many stone surfaces. In these cases, pre-sealing is recommended with a breathable sealer (Siloxane sealers by Prosoco, etc). Follow manufacturer's instructions when applying. Sealers will also make it easier to clean MystiCrete surfaces.
