Federal White Type I Cement is a true portland cement manufactured with selected raw
materials to insure negligible amounts of iron and manganese oxides so as not to
produce the gray color of normal portland cement.

PVA FIBERS
PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) fibers are a new, high performance fiber reinforcement for
concrete countertops. Like steel, these PVA fibers have high tensile strength and a
greater modulus of elasticity than regular concrete.
Unlike steel, PVA fibers develop a molecular and chemical bond with the cement during
hydration and curing. This high bond strength makes PVA fibers very tough to pull out
during bending or tension.
Typical dosage rates approximately 40% less than of standard melamine and
naphthalene based superplasticizers, while maintaining the same percent water
reduction.
Recommended Dosage:
A good starting point and very easy way to calculate dosage is 1-mL per 1-pound of
cementicious material. So if you have 34pounds of Portland simply add 34mL of
OPTIMUM 380.
C-64 is a highly concentrated defoamer & densifying admixture specially designed for self
consolidating type concrete. One quart of C- 64 will produce over 200 cu. ft. of concrete.
Reduces trapped air in concrete
Time saver - reduces bug holes greatly reducing need to slurry surface
Improves densification of concrete
Increases compressive strength
Develops stronger/denser concrete
Dosage is 10-20ml per gal of mix water
Those are the basic ingredients for a concrete countertop mix.
This is a high performance countertop recipe that can be used for just about any
application.
