CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Sakrete has introduced Maximizer in several Home Depot markets in the eastern United States including Florida, New York, Maryland, Delaware, Baltimore and Washington, DC. Maximizer is a brand of lightweight, high-yield concrete mix that provides 67 percent more coverage than conventional concrete mixes for an equal weight of material. Maximizer features a propriety formula with a higher volume of cement for a more uniform mix.

This makes it easier to mix and apply versus typical concrete mix. Maximizer is also 40 percent stronger with an ultimate compressive strength of 5,500 psi versus 3,500 psi for typical concrete mixes. It is the strongest all-purpose concrete mix available. “When contractors and DIYers see the value of this product – its ease of use, its higher yield and strength – they may switch from traditional concrete mix,” said Johnsie Beck, president of Sakrete of North America. “We encourage qualified contractors to contact Bonsal American to find out how they can get a free sample.”

Sakrete was founded in 1936 as North America’s original dry cement mix brand. The Sakrete brand is owned and managed by Oldcastle Architectural Products Group/Bonsal American, Inc. Bonsal American is headquartered in Charlotte, N.C. For additional information about Sakrete, call 1-800-738-1621 or visit www.sakrete.com.
