ShrinkGuard™ is a low-shrink concrete designed to minimize drying shrinkage and reduce cracking potential in flatwork applications. Easy to finish and place, ShrinkGuard™ helps contractors deliver durable slabs-on-grade, jointed pavements, and high-tolerance floors that maintain appearance and performance over time.
ShrinkGuard™ significantly lowers drying shrinkage to help prevent random cracking and control joint failures. The mix design also reduces curling, which is a major benefit for high-tolerance floors, while maintaining workability and finish-ability comparable to conventional concrete.
United Materials offers versatile delivery options to match your project needs. Choose the right truck for efficient aggregate placement.
Best for standard bulk deliveries like base stone, gravel fills, and driveways, where direct dumping works well.
Ideal for reaching elevated or obstructed areas, such as retaining walls, hardscapes, and site grading, with reduced double handling.
Perfect for precise, long-distance placement on large projects, bridge abutments, and tight access zones requiring accuracy and minimal site disruption.
Reduces drying shrinkage and resultant cracking, extending joint spacing and improving appearance.
Minimizes edge curl for flatter floors and better performance in jointed pavements.
Handles like conventional concrete with no special placement or finishing requirements.
ShrinkGuard™ is ideal for slabs-on-grade, industrial floors, parking areas, and jointed pavements where shrinkage cracking and curling are concerns.
No, it finishes easily like standard concrete—no special placement, finishing, or curing procedures needed.
ShrinkGuard™ can significantly reduce drying shrinkage compared to conventional mixes, helping control cracking and curling.
Yes, reduced shrinkage allows for greater joint spacing while maintaining crack control.
