CONCRETE CRACK CONTROL
Colori~g and Texture Variation
p.1
~~.
Titan Concrete Concepts, LLC is a professional company using materials and techniques recommended by the
American Concrete Institute for the installation of quality concrete flatwork and coloring of concrete. Our
crews are trained in the manufacture's recommended installation procedures to maximize the long term
performance of the product.
CONCRETE CRACK CONTROL
New installed concrete can be expected to crack (known as shrink cracks) within the flrst few days of
placement. Shrink cracks are narrow hairline stress cracks in the surface of the concrete caused by the curing
process. Control joints (saw cuts or hand grooved joints) encourage the shrink cracks to form along
predetermined lines made the day of or day after placement. The steel rebar and the high strength of the
concrete hold the slab together restricting the shrink cracks from widening. Joints do not prevent shrink cracks,
but they may help to reduce them. .
Titan Concrete Concepts warrants that any cracks in excess of 11&" resulting from poor workmanship or
substandard materials shall be repaired or replaced at Titan's option. Titan makes no claim that hairline cracks
might not develop between joints, but insures that every precaution is taken to minimize the occurrence by
using approved techniques and quality materials. It is acknowledged that color differences may result from
repairs.
COLORING AND TEXTURE VARIATIONS
Each step of the preparation, texturing, coloring and sealing is carefully executed and monitored. This watchful
approach ensures that the installation is durable and the texture and color is as close to the desired results as
possible. The coloring agents used by Titan in the decorative process are not painted products. Our materials
react with the concrete to produce unique effects. Because the coloring agents are translucent, surface
imperfections and inconsistencies are not covered, as they would be with paint. As with other natural materials,
variations in concrete are normal and to be expected. Craftsmen create the textures in an uncontrolled
environment. The occurring marbling and variations on colors and occasional surfacing irregularities enhance
the natural appearance of the finished surface. Each project is custom crafted and has unique characteristics.
While Titan strives to deliver the requested coloring and shading variations, it makes no guarantee that the
coloring agents and texture mats will produce the same uniformity and consistency of paints or tiles.

QC Construction Products made by the Bomanite Company
QC Construction Products is owned and operated by the Bomanite Company and all Bomanite Products
as well as all QC Construction Products are made at the same three manufacturing facilities: Madera,
Ca., Knoxville Tenn., and Grand Prairie, TX. Bomanite Labeled Products are sold only to Bomanite
Licensed Contractors where as QC Construction Products are sold through typical building materials
distributors and dealers to the general construction trade. The products are identical as far as raw
materials used in manufacturing and quality control of said products i.e. when a plant runs a batch of
Engineered Integral Color in a specific mix design it will be bagged as Red Clay six sack mix as a
Bo anite Product or as Cranbe 'six sack mix if it is a onstruction Products Product; same run of
product packaged for either company but different label and different name for same co or.
Bomanite Engineered Integral Color Red Clay is the exact same product as QC Construction Products
ColorTech -E in Cranberry.
QC ColorTech-E, a proprietary product, is warranted to be of uniform quality within manufacturing
tolerances. Since control is not exercised over its use, no warranty, expressed or implied, is made as to
the effects of such use. Seller's and manufacturer's obligation under this warranty shall be limited to
refunding the purchase price of that portion of the material proven to be defective. The user assumes all
other risks and liabilities r~sulting from use of this product. If you have any questions, please contact

flatwork appliwions fc:.Jturing SJ.!t, MXlm or rotary finishc" 15 well as a rmge
of other ardlitel'tural concrete installanons.
a QC COLoRTIeH - E contains engineercd colored adminurcs that do not
require mi. adju.'tments at the ready mi.ed phnt.
a QC COWRTECH - E is a high-performing color that is ll<;U easy to handle.
l':Ickaged for deao handling and fast b1tching, in~tallanon is my \\1tll one
disintegrating bag of QC COLORTEcH - E batehcd tilr ooe cubic yard of
concrete. (Custom packaging :s also a\':liLlblc).
Before Any Application
a QC COLORTEcH - E is Plckaged in one-bag-pcr-cubic-Y1rd increments for
specific cement ratim. Make sure tu specify the prope' eemc'I1t content when
ordering.
. A ~H.lsite sample, using the: specified mix design and color, should be done ftlr
customer ~pprov11. For an aCCUr.l[e colur clK:ck on ~ jobsitc sanlple or 011 any job,
thc rccommended si~e of thc job should be J minimum order of threc yard,. ill
order to get an accurate color check., \;cw sample whcn it h;l.-' full)' cured.
. When ll5Cd in verncal CO:1crctc applications or when special finishes Me
applied, a sample ofQC COT.ORTECH - E must be ease for color appro,'a! using
the same material and construction techniques planned filr the lerua!
installation. To CtL'UIC uniformity on vertical surF.tces, a light sandblJ5ting is
recommended after the vertical surf.Jce 1u.~ fuI~' curcd.
Application
1. For Rcady Mixed Application:
. The dtum 1l1U.~t be cleaned, and approxill1Jtdr two-thirds of the mix water
and ooc-h:llf of the aggrcg:Ites needed .shoold be added to the drum. Do not
me slurry \\'atc~ or reclaimed aggreg.m:s. Add the CClrrect number of QC
COLORTF.CH - E bags [0 me drum and mix at full dlarging speed Jar th,ee
to five minutcs or until aD bags break apm and pigment is distributed crenly.
. Add the balaoce of the ingredtenls (watct, aggregates, cemeat and
admixlUres) and mix at a full charging spel-d ('or 8.10 minutes (&0-100
re\'olutions). It is the re~d)' mixed supplier'; responsii>ility to make sure
bags ha\'e filII!, disinr.guted. Failure to follow instruction, can result in
b~gs not fully disintegrating.
2. For Central or Premixed Batch PlaJlts:
. Add one-half of the toul batch into a clean read\' mixed truck drun. Do
not use slurry water or rccLlimcd aggregates. Add the correct numhcr of
QC COLORTECH - E di~ntegrJtiog bags into the drum and mi. ;:t a full
charging spwl for all= three to fi\.c minut~.
. Add the remainder of the batch to me drum and agit:1t<: at nUl charging
speed until the QC COLORTECH - E has completely dispct~d throughout
the rnix-abou: 8-\0 minmcs (80-100 revolutions). [t is tile rc:J.dy mi);ed
supplier's n:sponsibilil}' to make sure bags have fully disintcgrated. failure
to fo[o<\l instructions can result in hags not tully disintegming.
3. Jobsite wading ofIntegral Colors:
. When appl)1ng QC COLOR-TECH - E at the jobsite, it is highly
recommended tll open the bag and !Jour pigment directly into the drum,
dlen discatd the bag. F:tilure 10 do 50 may r<.sult in improper dispersion
which leads to inconsistent color.
. Once pigment has been added, no additional water may be addce,
4. T)pcof aggregate, mix dc:si~l and water content ml).atTcct disintegration otbags.
.\-li.\ing rimes and pro..-cdl.lrc.l arc bJ.scd on bel: pta..:riCCl. Mixing nml:.l :rnd procedures
mal' vary by rcpon depending on /3ctors mcntioned prC\~ously (aggregate t)'Pe,
etc.). llefurc di"harging the mix, read}' mixed supplier should monitor mix
ioside the drum to detemline that the bags Im'e btoken down completely.
5. For Vertical Applications: All forms shoold be dcaocd thorDll(;hly prior to use
or reuse, md applied releale agene; snould be: nonstlining. For best results, t()[m,
should be free of cemC3t latents from any prior concrete pour of ~ diJli:rclll color.
Also, vr:rticaJ wood forms should be made of medium-density overlay plywood.
For color urrifi>nnity, methods and I1l.1terial used in prc'Paring dle fillms should be
wnsiSlent through the complctiOl1 of the job.
Sandblasting vcrtiell surfaces is recommended [[) temove minor fom marks
and any colored re~idlle resulting from watet, cement and coloring agent'
blc-cding toward the forms during concretc placement.
6. For sand-blasted horizontal surfaces, exposed aggregate (3/8-;nel1-
size pea gral'e1l finishes, or typical 3/8-inch-size pea. gravel mi.xes, open
QC COLORTECH - E bag and poor in color to en5Urc proper dispersion,
7. Concrete should be cured in accordance \\;th ACr standards. QC
CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS offers a yariety of curing methods that 1dherc
to ASTM C 309 standatds for eurill!; architectural concrete. TI1e use of QC
COLOR CURE', QC COLORWAX', QC CLEAR CURE' and QC CUlLEAND
SEAL SII' (ASTM C 309 and ASTM C 1315) is recommended for Cutillg most
new colored arebitcetural conctete flatwOrk.
Proper curing, along \\ith maintaining a low slump and protecting me
surface against Wl-ter pcnelT:1tion, reduces the possibility of effioreS(ence.
If emoresc,nce docs occur, wait until concrete has fully cured and remove
efflo,cseence using QC CON-CLEAN'. QC COl\-CLEAN is a concentrate: a.nd
must be diluted before use. (Dilute ol1e part QC CON-CLEAN \\;th 20 pallS
water or six ounces QC CON-CLE.o\..l\ per gallon of wuer or one quart QC
CO:\'-Oh\;,\ per five gallons IV-Jter). Follow "';th a light scrubbing or the use
of a low r.p.m. rotary scrubbing machine.
