Sakrete 65200253 5000 Plus Concrete Mix 50 Lb

Product Description

The SAKRETE OF NORTH AMERICA 65200253 is a 50-pound bag of 5000 Plus Concrete Mix formulated for applications demanding higher compressive strength and superior workability. This mix uses a higher cement content than standard concrete blends, resulting in a finished product that is approximately 20% stronger than conventional ready-mix concrete. The smoother consistency improves trowel workability and reduces finishing time on the job. Rapid strength gain allows the structure or repair to reach service strength faster, reducing project downtime. It is suited for contractors, masons, and experienced tradespeople who need a reliable, high-performance concrete mix for structural and heavy-duty applications.

5000 Plus Concrete Mix is designed for residential and commercial flatwork, footings, pads, posts, and structural repairs where standard concrete strength is insufficient. The higher cement-to-aggregate ratio makes it a practical choice for load-bearing applications, thicker pours, and projects subject to freeze-thaw cycles or heavy traffic. It is typically used by concrete finishers and general contractors working on slabs, steps, curbs, and similar poured concrete assemblies requiring consistent, durable results.

Key Features

• Higher cement content delivers approximately 20% greater strength than standard concrete mix
• Rapid strength gain reduces cure wait time on the job site
• Smooth, workable consistency for easier trowel finishing
• 50-pound bag suitable for hand-mix or mixer applications
• Professional-grade formulation for structural and heavy-duty concrete work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style bagged concrete mix suitable for general poured concrete applications including footings, slabs, pads, and structural repairs where a high-strength mix is specified.

Installation Notes

Mixing and placement should follow ACI 305 and ACI 306 guidelines for hot- and cold-weather concreting where applicable. Always wear appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection when handling dry cement products, as Portland cement is caustic. Mix only as much material as can be placed and finished before initial set begins. Do not add excess water to the mix, as this reduces compressive strength.
