Introducing MesaCrete Cement Replacements: A technologically enhanced cement that out performs ordinary portland cement.
Recent advances in cement technology have resulted in MesaCrete Cement, a patented, dramatically different new cement that outperforms ordinary Portland cement. Developed by Mesatech LLC, Mesatech Cement is new, technologically enhanced blended cement that provides unsurpassed performance over a broad range of applications and environments. Manufacturers of pre-cast products, brick and block, and ready-mix concrete benefit significantly from Mesatech Cement’s superior high-early and high-final strengths, enhanced durability, outstanding efflorescence control, color fastness, excellent workability and finishability. For nearly 200 years portland cement has been the gold standard for the concrete industry around the world. However, in recent years the price of ordinary Portland cement has increased sharply and supplies have tightened due to factors such as the continued strength of the U.S. housing market, the construction boom in Asian markets and skyrocketing shipping rates. Enhanced Mesatech Cement is priced competitively with ordinary portland cement while providing superior performance, so cement users can improve their bottom line by incorporating Mesatech Cement into their operations. Mesatech Cement is a patented combination Of high-performance cement compounds, pozzolans and polymers. Easily integrated into established concrete manufacturing operations, Mesatech Cement gives Specifies and manufacturers the flexibility to reduce their sole reliance on portland cement while enhancing a variety of performance characteristics. Cost-effective Mesatech Cement is a superior high-performance alternative to ordinary portland cement in applications where high-early strength, high-final strength, high durability, and workability are critical.
High Durability In A Wide Range Of Environments
Mesatech Cement provides superior durability under a wide range of rigorous conditions. Its low permeability to water results in superior resistance to deterioration from chloride-induced corrosion, alkali-silica reaction, chemical attack and abrasion. The standard Mesatech Cement blend can be mixed to virtually any high-performance specification, including ultra-low permeability applications for marine environments and other severe conditions. Superior to
Absorption Test Results—Concrete Pavers
Paver % Absorption ASTM Standard 5-6%
Independent Lab Tests Confirm Superior Strength of Mesatech Cement
Many concrete applications require high-early strength for enhanced constructability and high-final strength for long-term performance. Mesatech Cement produces a high-early strength that is critical for optimizing productivity, particularly in pre-cast and concrete block operations. Mesatech Cement also provides higher final strengths than standard mixes. It exceeds the ASTM Strength Requirement for C1157 Blended Cements. Mesatech Cement will conform to virtually any HPC and SCC application. The superiority of Mesatech Cement’s high early and final strengths, over an ordinary portland cement control mix, have been confirmed by recent independent lab and field testing.

Virtually Eliminates Efflorescence
Efflorescence is a common and significant problem for concrete applications where appearance is important such as wall slabs, blocks, pavers and other architectural elements. Use of Mesatech Cement generates a low permeability product which results in excellent efflorescence control. After curing, Mesatech Cement is highly resistant to water saturation and the leaching affects of: chlorides, sulfates, and alkalis.
Superior Color Fastness
Adding pigment to the concrete matrix is an economical way to add beauty and value to an application. Exposure to both sunlight and efflorescence can cause visual inconsistencies in colored concrete, reducing its aesthetic appeal.
Mesatech Cement results in excellent long term visual performance for colored concrete. Its low permeability, superior efflorescence control and resistance to fading from sunlight exposure help ensure that the beauty of colored concrete will endure unimpaired for many, many years.
Excellent Workability
Mesatech Cement provides excellent flowability and workability for increased productivity and superior performance. In many applications Mesatech Cement’s superior placing and finishing characteristics can significantly increase throughput and reduce labor costs. In brick and block plants the workability of Mesatech Cement has increased through put by over 27%. The extreme fineness and enhanced cementicious properties of the patented Mesatech Cement blend result in excellent paste development and void elimination within the mix. Mesatech Cement is compatible with super-plasticizers and other VMA’s or HRWRA, and can be used with self-consolidating cement (SCC) mix designs.
“Greener” Cement
Manufacturing portland cement is a costly, labor intensive process that entails roughly 80 separate operations, an assortment of heavy machinery and an enormous amount of heat and energy. But many of the environmentally costly functions associated with producing portland cement do not pertain to the production of Mesatech Cement. While it is manufactured to tight, closely monitored specifications, Mesatech Cement’s overall environmental impacts are lower than those for portland cement. The massive combustion of fossil fuel required for the high-temperature calcinations of limestone releases about one ton of CO2 into the atmosphere for the production of one ton of portland cement clinker. Mesatech Cement’s patented formula includes cementicious materials that do not require high-temperature firing like Portland cement does. The manufacture of Mesatech Cement drastically reduces both the consumption of fossil fuels and the corresponding release of greenhouse gases. In some cases concrete manufacturers can benefit today from “green” tax credits by replacing ordinary portland cement with Cement in their operation.
Types OF Mesatech Cement
MesaCrete: The concentrated form of Mesatech Cement, offers the simplest and most cost effective form of Mesatech Cement technology.
MesaCrete II: The standard high-performance blend of MESATECH CEMENT. Out-performs ordinary portland cement in typical applications, at a competitive price.
MesaCrete III: designed for very high strength or high performance uses.
Custom blends are available to meet architect and engineer requirements for special applications.
Standard Mesatech Cements ship by pneumatic truckload or at the request of the customer Mesacrete products may also be shipped in bags or super sack truckloads.
