100mm Polystyrene Cube Mould (Boxed 125)
Capco’s polystyrene mould (100mm, boxed in sets of 125) is a lightweight, practical, and cost-effective solution for producing concrete test cubes for compressive strength testing. Ideal for one-time use, these disposable moulds offer convenience without compromising on accuracy, making them perfect for busy construction sites and high-volume laboratories.
Each mould is pre-formed to 100mm x 100mm x 100mm dimensions, ensuring compliance with standard concrete testing procedures. These moulds are particularly useful in field testing environments where quick setup and easy disposal are critical. Made from high-density polystyrene, they are durable enough to hold fresh concrete during curing while also reducing cleanup and saving time.
Polystyrene cube moulds offer many advantages over traditional steel or cast iron moulds. They eliminate the need for mould release agents, reduce cross-contamination risks, and are ideal when there’s no access to washing or reconditioning facilities. Despite being lightweight, they are sturdy enough to handle most standard concrete mixes used in routine testing.
For best results, simply fill the mould in layers and compact the concrete as per testing standards. Once the cube is cured, the mould can be cut or broken away easily without damaging the sample.
Capco’s 100mm disposable moulds are boxed in quantities of 125, making them a great bulk purchase option for civil engineering firms, quality assurance departments, and testing contractors.
Trusted by Industry Experts
Capco is a leading name in concrete testing equipment across the UK, offering a full range of tools for compressive strength testing. Pair these moulds with our compression testing machines or curing tanks for a complete, efficient testing solution.
According to Wikipedia’s guide to concrete, testing compressive strength using cube specimens is one of the most widely used methods to assess concrete performance. Polystyrene moulds are particularly useful when testing needs to be done quickly and with minimal handling, offering accuracy and practicality in a single-use format.
Polystyrene Moulds are ideal for testing low strength concrete where testing accuracy is not essential. They are light weight and easy to use and are suitable for one use only.
Our testing does show that they do not fully comply with the relevant standards.
