ECC Mix

The most advanced concrete mix design. This mix was originally developed for use in seismic zones for its high ductility. It has been modified to improve the mix characteristics while maintaining performance. The strength of the ECC recipes comes from the combination of particle gradation and the addition of a high dosage of fiber. From a creative standpoint, ECC can be mixed to unique workabilities, allowing for many variations in finish. While this mix takes some getting used to, the professionals that use it swear by its vast aesthetic and performance potential. Very strong, it will bend before it breaks, and it produces unrivaled finishes and durability. The mix has all of the necessary high-performance ingredients pre-blended, including curing polymer, such that only water and necessary reinforcement need to be added.

The workability of the mix can be changed with the addition of water reducers. Uses all white ingredients. Can be pigmented with any of the Buddy Rhodes Pigments or painted with Concrete Glaze. This mix is typically done at 0,75” - 1” thick. It is also often cast at 3/8” thick for objects like tiles, but considerations must be given in the handling and support of the piece.
