Description
Retanol allows for final floor finishes after only 3 days and offers the finished underfloor heating commission protocol in only 4 days. Saves on average of 5 weeks against others!
Proprietary liquid additive for installing heavy duty fast-cure, rapid drying, low shrinkage and low tension bonded, unbonded or floating cement based floor screeds. Enhances pumping and workability enormously.
Compliant with BS 8204-1, BS EN 13892-2 and BS 8203.
Features and benefits:
- BRE Cat A Screed.
- BREEAM Certified sustainable floor screed.
- Guaranteed drying times: From 48 hours for tiles and 72 hours for all other floor coverings.
- Can withstand foot traffic and underfloor heating after 24 hours.
- Approximately 80–90% of final strength within first 3–4 days (Obtainable minimum strengths of CT-C40-F6 up to CT-C60-F8 depending on aggregates and amount of cement in accordance with DIN 1045-2).
- Early compressive and flexural strength.
- Ideal for underfloor heating with improved thermal conductivity.
- Extended working life with short drying time.
- Insensitive to moisture.
- Underfloor heating pipes require a minimum of 30 mm coverage over the pipe (As per BS 8204).
- Bonded screeds from 25 mm. In special cases, and subject to PCT site inspection and assessment, 15 mm depth (with ZE bonding agent) is possible with 0–4 mm Aggregates.
- Unbonded and floating screeds from 35 mm.
- TÜV certified screed product recognised under EU standards as a construction product with no negative impact on human health when handled or added into a floor screed installation.
- Supplied as a liquid for zero waste.
- Heavy duty, strong floor screed.
