Before I wipe this tank out…is Sakrete hydraulic cement safe to use?

I typically use Quikrete Hydraulic cement, but Lowes only had Sakrete hydraulic. I figured ‘How different could it possibly be?’, but once I opened it and saw the blend, it looks like the blend has some additional compound in it…looks like small white flakes that comprise about 1% of the cement. Once water is added, they dissolve. I’m rusty on my cement/mortar chemistry, so maybe it’s just helping to drive the reaction?

I use Quikrete all the time and have never had an issue. Once wet, the Sakrete looks, feels, and behaves like Quikrete.

Just wondering if anybody has ever had an issue using it. I’m letting it cure for a few days, so I haven’t put the tank in jeopardy…yet.

Thanks.
