CRL Kwixset® Expanding Cement (SKU: KWX50) is a gray hydraulic expanding cement formulated for exceptional bond strength and durability. Mixed with water it pours smoothly, sets in 15–20 minutes, and when fully cured develops compression strengths exceeding 8,000 psi. Kwixset® is waterproof and suitable for exterior use, and is commonly specified for setting railings, stanchions, brackets, and other fixtures where a fast-setting, non-shrink expanding cement is required.
Compression Strengths:
1 Hour: 4,600 psi
24 Hours: 5,000 psi
7 Days: 8,000 psi
Volume Calculations:
1 lb. Kwixset® yields 18.75 cu in.
