Lafarge Cement UK (Aggregate Industries group part of LafargeHolcim) has introduced Rapid Cement to its packaged range of cements. The Portland cement product contains calcium aluminate for rapid hardening to enable fast-setting and low shrinkage which is ideal for screeds and renders for wall and floor surface preparation, prior to installing tiles.
The product is suitable for dry and wet installations, including swimming pools, and has a setting time of one hour. It is available in 25kg bags and has BS EN 197-1 CEM II CE certification.
Lafarge Cement's national sales manager, Jamie Stratford, commented: "This new product follows significant investment over the last 18 months in expanding our portfolio of packed cement products."
