Cementitious Systems

For tile adhesives, grouts, repair mortars, screeds and renders, we manage hydration, water retention, rheology and strength development as one connected system.

HYDRATIONRHEOLOGYSTRENGTH DEVELOPMENT

Product and performance scope

  • C1/C2 tile adhesives and the balance between slip and open time
  • Grouts: colour, water absorption, cracking and surface quality
  • Repair mortars: adhesion, shrinkage and early strength
  • Self-levelling compounds: flow, air control and surface regularity

Technical evaluation

  1. Assess cement type, fineness and mineral-additive hydration behaviour
  2. Balance water/binder ratio with cellulose ether, RDP and additive package
  3. Test trade-offs between early/final strength and workability
  4. Control setting and water loss for climate and application conditions

Deliverables

  • Performance target matrix by product class
  • Technical risk assessment of raw-material alternatives
  • Laboratory and field test plan
  • Production and application instructions
