A specialist, high-performance multi-purpose cementitious paving mortar with rapid strength gain. Used for top to bottom reinstatement and the construction of high impact areas such as traffic tables.
It can be used effectively as a bedding primer and grout, suitable for emergency repairs to modular paving, concrete and filling around gulley and manhole frames where Steintec's 'tuffset 60' has been used for bedding and re-setting ironwork in carriageways.
A high-performance hydraulic mortar with rapid strength gain and enhanced cold weather strength gain characteristics. Can be mixed to Steintec's recommendations for use as a jointing mortar and as a priming/bonding mortar. tuffset G combined with Steintec tuffgrit aggregate produces a high strength gain bedding mortar.
A modular pavement constructed using tuffset G for the bedding mortar, the priming mortar and as the jointing mortar: can be trafficked in three hours.
Features and benefits:
For bedding mortar and emergency concrete repair, mix the product with tuffgrit aggregate; otherwise, for bonding and jointing mortar, mix with water.
