Farm environments demand high-performance concrete that can withstand chemical exposure, heavy wear, and daily cleaning. Farmcrete is specifically designed for the agricultural sector, offering superior durability, resistance to acidic attack, and long-term serviceability. 

Why Choose Farmcrete? 

• Increased Strength & Durability
  While some farming applications may only require 20 MPa concrete, Farmcrete is recommended at 30 MPa for enhanced resistance to wear, effluent exposure, and chemical cleaners when compared to normal GP cement concretes. Lower grades can be used but this will impact on performance. This can also be used in conjunction with plastic fibres for enhanced performance.,

• Chemical & Abrasion Resistance
  Designed to endure harsh cleaning agents, silage acids, and constant washing, Farmcrete’s dense mix structure ensures longevity in environments such as milking sheds, feed pads, silage pits, and effluent storage areas. 

• Optimised Mix for Performance 

• Minimum 30 MPa strength for durability 

• 20mm aggregate for structural integrity 

• Low permeability to resist acid attack 

Best Practices for Placing & Finishing 

Detail to placement and finishing techniques enhance the performance of Farmcrete.

• Vibration: Ensures a dense, long-lasting slab resistant to chemical ingress. 
• Finishing: Will benefit from the use of anti-vap in certain conditions to ensure a durable surface.
• Broom Finish: Provides skid resistance without compromising durability. 
• Control Joints: Should be cut as soon as possible to prevent uncontrolled cracking. 
• Curing: Like most concretes, wet curing for 7 days is best for optimum performance.

Safe & Effective Cleaning 

To maintain Farmcrete’s longevity: 

• Avoid pH levels below 7 in cleaning agents. 

• Pre-wet surfaces before applying chemicals. 

• Rinse thoroughly to remove residue and prevent surface erosion.
