VITCAS-Rapidcas-Rapid Set Cement

Rapid Setting Cement

RAPIDCAS Cement is a specially formulated, fast-setting compound that hardens in approximately 30 minutes when mixed with water. It is easy to prepare and apply, making it suitable for a wide range of internal and external repair applications.

Uses:

• Repairing rendering and floor screeds
• Fixing flags, slabs, stones, and bricks
• Patching steps and window sills
• Pointing brick and stone
• Setting manholes and jointing earthenware pipes and drains
• Repairs for ponds and pools (seal with waterproof sealer before restocking fish)
• Quick-setting repairs in W/C's and sinks
• Sealing leaks in concrete surfaces
• Setting railings and fixing fence posts
• Suitable for both small and large industrial jobs

Limitations:

• Not suitable for load-bearing applications; only allows foot and light vehicular traffic.
• Not for acid-resistant environments; use ACIDCAS for those.
• After use in fishponds, seal the surface with a waterproof sealer before reintroducing fish.

Application:

1. Ensure surfaces are clean, solid, and free from dust or contaminants.
2. Wet the surface to improve adhesion.
3. Mix 3 parts RAPIDCAS powder with 1 part cold clean water to create a smooth, thick paste. Only mix what can be used in 5 minutes.
4. Apply the mixture with a trowel or filling knife, and discard any cement that begins to stiffen. Do not add water to rehydrate the mix, as this weakens the bond.
5. In warm conditions, cover the application with polythene to aid curing.
6. Clean tools with warm water before RAPIDCAS dries.

Storage and Shelf Life: Store in cool, dry conditions between +5°C and 25°C. Unopened, RAPIDCAS has a shelf life of 12 months, but this decreases once opened.
