Concrete Countertop Z Liqui-Crete Mix Additive
- Z Liqui-Crete contains a proprietary blend of specially formulated additives and ultra fine acrylic fibers that will transform a 60 lb. bag of Concrete Sand Mix into a high strength flowable concrete mix that easily flows into forms and cavities.
- This pack of additive should be added to a concrete sand mix (Quikrete Sand/Topping, Sakrete Sand Mix). You can also create your own sand mix using 45lbs of sand, 15 lbs of cement, and 1 box of the additive pack.
- Z Liqui-Crete is recommended to use with fiberglass reinforcement grids such as the 1″ x 1″ FG50 Fiberglass Mesh Grid.
- The Z Liqui-Crete mix is easily troweled smooth and yields a high strength fiber reinforced countertop.
- The Admix will also make finishing the concrete easier, reduce set times, and significantly higher strength.
- It is common to take a normal 60lb bag of concrete that has a strength rating 3,000-3,500 psi, and get 7,500-8,000 psi just from adding this Admix to it.
- Yield: One 8lb Admix package mixed with one 60lb bag of concrete will yield approx. 3.9 square feet at 1.5″ thickness. Six boxes of Admix mixed with six 60lb concrete sand-mix bags will yield 23.4 sq. ft. at 1.5″ thickness.
- Sold as a single pack, or in a 6-Pack.

Concrete Countertop Z Liqui-Crete Mix Additive VS Counter Pack
- The difference between the two is the consistency of the mix. The Liqui-Crete is designed to use slightly more water, giving you a more flowable mix that will flow throughout the fiberglass mesh reinforcement. If you are using a more traditional reinforcement such as welded wire mesh, you will be better off with Counter-Pack. Both will achieve about 7000-7500psi @ 28 days.
- Chopped Fibers can also be added to give additional strength and crack resistance.
- Voids and pinholes in the finished concrete surface can be filled with a Slurry Mix.
