ARDEX ‘RAPIDRY FORMULA’ CEMENT SYSTEMS

ARDEX ‘RAPIDRY FORMULA’ CEMENT SYSTEMS

Products with the ‘Rapidry Formula’ logo

incorporate unique technology:

‘Rapidry Formula’ products have the ability

to totally bind the water used for mixing

This means rapid hardening and drying regardless of thickness for commercial and

industrial flooring systems

This means elimination of the risk of water discoloration, staining and efflorences when

fixing natural stone

Moisture from substrate reacts with minerals in the stone

Permanent moisture staining from screed

Permanent Staining from moisture in screed

Reasons for the Discolouration of Natural Stone

A. Dirt entrained from above, incorrectly sealed or maintained

B. Rising moisture releases minerals contained in the natural stone

C. Contamination carried up from the mortar bed (organic substances, metal)

D. Moisture from the substrate (screed, concrete or adhesive), the grouting compound and plasticiser in the silicone will discolour edge areas, known as `picture framing`

E. Calcium hydroxide in the mortar bed is deposited on the surface and becomes calcium carbonate (known as lime bloom or efflorescence)

F. Moisture spots caused by freeze/ thaw activity
