Fast-Krete® & Fast-Krete II Repair or Resurface Concrete Faster
Choose the right system for the job: Fast-Krete for fast-setting concrete repairs and Fast-Krete II for resurfacing worn floors, walks, loading docks, ramps and driveways.
Patch or Resurface?
The products are related, but each is designed for a different type of concrete-maintenance project.
Fast-Krete for Repairs. Fast-Krete II for Resurfacing.
Both products are designed for concrete maintenance, but the right choice depends on whether you're repairing localized damage or restoring a broader worn surface.
Fast-Krete
A hydraulic cement repair product designed to create fast-setting, durable patches in concrete floors, walks and drives.
- Sets in approximately 15 minutes
- Traffic-ready quickly after repair
- Expands as it sets for strong mechanical bonding
- Works indoors and outdoors
- Mix with ordinary tap water
- Resists wear and abrasion
Fast-Krete II
A self-bonding resurfacing system designed to restore rough, worn or hazardous concrete surfaces without complete replacement.
- Bonds to damp surfaces
- Suitable for concrete and masonry
- Can be featheredged
- Apply from thin resurfacing layers up to 1 inch
- Oil and water resistant
- Two-part dry powder and activator system
Built for Quick, Durable Concrete Repairs
Fast-Krete is designed for situations where damaged concrete needs to be repaired without keeping the area out of service for an extended period.
Fast Setting
Sets in approximately 15 minutes without heat, curing agents or special treatment.
Strong Mechanical Bond
Fast-Krete expands during setting, helping wedge the repair securely into the prepared area.
Year-Round Use
PACE describes Fast-Krete as usable in hot, cold and damp conditions, including temperatures below freezing.
Wear Resistant
Designed for demanding concrete repairs exposed to regular traffic and abrasion.
Indoor or Outdoor
Suitable for floors, walks, drives and other concrete repair applications.
Easy Mixing
Mix the hydraulic cement with ordinary tap water without separate curing compounds.
Repair Concrete Without Losing the Entire Day
PACE states that Fast-Krete sets in approximately 15 minutes and can support fork-truck traffic in less than an hour, helping minimize downtime in active commercial and industrial areas.
Designed to Stay in the Repair
Conventional cement materials can shrink as they cure. The existing Fast-Krete formulation is designed to expand as it sets.
That expansion helps create a tight mechanical fit inside the properly prepared repair area.
Repair Instead of Replacing the Whole Surface
Localized damaged areas can often be patched without removing and replacing an otherwise serviceable concrete floor, drive or walkway.
Resurface Worn Concrete Instead of Replacing It
When damage is spread across a larger surface rather than confined to an individual patch, Fast-Krete II provides a resurfacing approach.
Indoor & Outdoor
Designed for repairs and resurfacing in both interior and exterior environments.
Bonds to Damp Concrete
Fast-Krete II is designed to adhere to properly prepared damp concrete and masonry surfaces.
Featheredge to 1 Inch
Apply thin at transitions or build the resurfacer up to approximately one inch where required.
Built for Working Surfaces
PACE lists resistance to oil, grease and petroleum or coal-tar solvents.
Typical Product Coverage
Coverage depends on applied thickness and surface condition. These figures reflect the current PACE product information.
Per pail at approximately 1/2-inch thickness.
Per unit at approximately 1/4-inch thickness.
Concrete Repairs Across Commercial Properties
Fast-Krete & Fast-Krete II FAQs
What is the difference between Fast-Krete and Fast-Krete II?
Fast-Krete is primarily a rapid-setting concrete patching material. Fast-Krete II is designed to resurface larger worn concrete or masonry areas.

Can Fast-Krete II bond to damp concrete?
Yes. The current PACE product information states that Fast-Krete II will bond to damp surfaces.
How thick can Fast-Krete II be applied?
Fast-Krete II can be featheredged thin at transitions or applied up to approximately one inch thick.
How long before Fast-Krete II can support truck traffic?
PACE states that Fast-Krete II sets overnight and becomes hard enough for truck traffic in about 48 hours.
How much area does Fast-Krete cover?
One pail covers approximately 10 square feet when applied about 1/2 inch thick.
What sizes are available?
Both products are listed by PACE as available in 5-gallon / 20-litre pail configurations.
