The Ultimate in Concrete Cold
Relief!
Faster and easier finishing, pumping and placement
Control setting time of concrete during cold weather
8-10 hours of setting time can be reduced to 4-5 hours
Reduce costly winter delays
New and Improved!
Shamrock now offers a new and improved WinterCrete! WinterCrete
still sets up fast in cold weather, but now it is designed for
easier finishing, pumping and placement. This new WinterCrete is the
ultimate in cold weather concrete. See for yourself why WinterCrete
has become the preferred contractor choice for winter conditions!
When Time is Money
WinterCrete allows you to pour concrete in low ambient temperatures
for more days of the year without freezing or long setting times.
Concrete placed during the winter months can virtually have the same
setting characteristics as those placed during the spring and summer
months. This benefit is WinterCrete's number one advantage.
Accelerate and Control Setting
WinterCrete will not flash set! The dosage rate of WinterCrete can
be adjusted to control setting time according to your needs. This
unique feature results in earlier finishing of slabs and reduced
overtime costs. WinterCrete significantly reduces your largest
expense-labor costs!

technical services department. |
