Description
• A rapid hardening cement allowing concrete to be put into service between 6 and 24 hours after placing.
• Ciment Fondu is a cement based on calcium aluminates, rather than calcium silicates which are the basis of Portland cement.
• This difference gives Ciment Fondu Lafarge properties ideally suited to specific applications which compliment the traditional uses of Portland cement.
• Ciment Fondu Lafarge has a setting time similar to that of Portland cement, but is very rapid hardening.
• Concretes and mortars achieve a high early strength allowing fast stripping of formwork, and a return to service normally between 6 and 24 hours after placing .
• Unlike Portland cement, Ciment Fondu does not release free lime during hydration. This means that concretes with low porosities have an excellent resistance to chemical attack, from a wide range of aggressive substances.
