SelectCrete™
SelectCrete™ is a system that allows customers to choose appropriate concrete ingredients in strength grades from 15 to 50 MPa. SelectCrete™ offers Mawsons’ customers and specifiers a choice of cementitious materials, recycled aggregates and manufactured sand in the concrete they order, while still complying fully with Australian Standards.
SelectCrete™ Product Selection:
SelectCrete™ Original is the traditional concrete Mawsons have become renowned for. This product range continues to contain 90–100% Type GP (General Purpose) Cement for general applications including house slabs, shed flooring and kerb and channel work.
SelectCrete™ Original is best where higher early strength, ie. maximum strength gained in the first 28 days, is essential.
SelectCrete™ Standard is a general-use concrete for normal applications. This product range contains 20–40%
SCMs (Supplementary Cementitious Materials) and is suitable for typical applications including house slabs, commercial and industrial, shed flooring, and footpaths.
SelectCrete™ Standard is best where longer-term durability is beneficial, or where the performance benefits of SCMs are required. This product range is eligible for up to 1.5 Green Stars.
SelectCrete™ Green is a new concrete mix designed for reduced environmental impact. This product contains at least 40% SCMs (Supplementary Cementitious Materials) as a Portland Cement replacement and uses recycled aggregates and sand. It is suitable for general applications where high early strength is not essential but great long-term performance is still required.
SelectCrete™ Green is eligible for up to 3 Green Stars, demonstrating its improved environmental credentials.
SelectCrete™ Green is independently endorsed as environmentally preferable by Good Environmental Choice Australia.
Input Material Combinations:
It should be noted that while each SelectCrete™ type complies with Australian Standards, the set times and number of days it takes for the finished concrete to achieve specified strength will vary. Concretors placing the different types may notice different characteristics in the concrete.
SelectCrete™ mixes incorporate appropriate admixtures so as to minimise difficulties that may be experienced in placing concrete that uses higher proportions of supplementary cementitious materials. Some adjustments to placement and finishing techniques may still be required to achieve optimum outcomes from Green and higher SCM Standard mixes.
*3 Green Stars denotes a 3.0 credit rating under the Green Star sustainable rating system.
