JumpStart™ is a fast-track concrete mix specifically formulated for low-rise residential projects in cold weather when temperatures drop below 50°F. Using accelerators like calcium chloride, JumpStart™ delivers faster setting and higher early strength development, helping contractors maintain schedules, better utilize crews, and complete work on time even in winter conditions.
Accelerates Setting and Strength in Cold Conditions
JumpStart™ significantly shortens set times and boosts early compressive strength, allowing earlier form removal and reducing the protection period against freezing. While not an antifreeze, it minimizes the time concrete needs protection in cool or fluctuating spring/fall temperatures.
Key Features and Benefits
About
United Materials offers versatile delivery options to match your project needs. Choose the right truck for efficient aggregate placement.
Straight Truck
Best for standard bulk deliveries like base stone, gravel fills, and driveways, where direct dumping works well.
Conveyor Truck
Ideal for reaching elevated or obstructed areas, such as retaining walls, hardscapes, and site grading, with reduced double handling.
Extended Conveyor Truck (Telebelt)
Perfect for precise, long-distance placement on large projects, bridge abutments, and tight access zones requiring accuracy and minimal site disruption.
Rapid Early Strength
Achieves higher early strengths for faster form removal and project turnaround.
Cold Weather Performance
Designed for ambient temperatures below 50°F, with stronger mixes for colder conditions.
Schedule Reliability
Helps contractors work confidently in variable weather, reducing downtime.
JumpStart™ is for residential low-rise concrete in cold weather below 50°F or to accelerate schedules in normal conditions.
Does JumpStart™ protect against freezing?
It accelerates setting to reduce freeze protection time, but is not an antifreeze—proper protection is still required.
How much faster does JumpStart™ set?
JumpStart™ shortens setting time and provides higher early strengths, with performance varying by temperature and mix strength.
Delivery Excellence You Can Count On
United Materials delivers JumpStart™ timed to your cold-weather pour schedule, ensuring the mix arrives ready for rapid placement and protection.
Quality Assurance at Every Step
Each JumpStart™ batch is tested for set acceleration, early strength, and consistency to perform reliably in cold conditions.
