Ardex A38 Ultra Rapid Drying Cement for Screeds – 25kg

ARDEX A 38 has been specially formulated to produce ultra-rapid drying floor screeds for internal and external locations.

With ‘RAPIDRY PLUS FORMULA’ Technology, an ARDEX A 38 screed can be walked on just 3 hours after application and ceramic and natural stone tiles can be installed after just 4 hours irrespective of thickness, making it ideal for fast track tiling projects.

Resilient floorcoverings such as carpet, vinyl and wood can be installed after 48 hours irrespective of thickness.

Features:

• Walkable in 3 hours
• Receives ceramic and natural stone tiles directly after only 4 hours
• Install resilient floorcoverings after 48 hours
• Passes BRE In-Situ Crushing Resistance (ISCR) Testing after just 6 hours
• After just one day, achieves the acceptable minimum compressive and tensile bending strengths attained by an ordinary cement screed after 28 days
• For bonded, unbonded and floating screeds
• Can be used with underfloor heating systems
• Can be pumped for fast application

Uses:

ARDEX A 38 is used to produce bonded, unbonded and floating screeds for internal and external locations, including wet areas such as swimming pools.

It can also be used for large repairs to existing cement/sand screeds. It is ideal for situations where early foot traffic and rapid hardening is required.

Coverage:

Using the recommended 1:5 mix, material requirement is approximately 0.31kg of ARDEX A 38 cement per m² per millimetre of screed thickness i.e. approximately 3.2m² at 25mm thick or 5.4m² at 15mm thick per bag.

Packaging:

ARDEX A 38 is packed in paper sacks incorporating a polyethylene liner – net weight 25kg.
