Processing information for screed experts
- At least 62.5 kg cement
- Dosage: 400 ml Retanol® Xtreme SE per mixture in standard screed pump (mixing vessel with 250 l gross capacity) = 2,000 ml/m³
Important note:
Cement quantities below 62.5 kg = 312.5 kg/m³ and/or dosages below 400 ml = 2,000 ml/m³ do not bring about a greater increase in strength than with screeds without RETANOL® XTREME SE.
- Fill the floor screed conveyor to about one-half with sand and the entire amount of cement as usual
- Add Retanol® Xtreme SE to the first mixing water (usually 5 – 10 litres) and then fill the conveyor completely.
- In so doing, gradually add the required amount of residual water until a stiff to pliable consistency is obtained.
- A mixing time of 2 minutes ensures proper blending of the ingredients and the effect of the added Retanol® Xtreme SE and must be observed at all times.
- Retanol® Xtreme SE must never be mixed with other screed or mortar additives.
Important:
When preparing the screed formulation, ensure that you select the suitable types of cement, cement quantity and aggregates in accordance with DIN 1045-2, grading curve A/B, 0–8 mm, for making screed concrete.
The general guidelines, data sheets and normative specifications for cement screeds are applicable to the laying and making of Retanol® screeds. Because of the accelerated curing process of Retanol® Xtreme SE please note:
- Application temperature: +5 °C to max. +28 °C (ambient and substrate temperature).
- Apply Retanol® Xtreme SE within 45 minutes after mixing. Higher temperatures reduce, lower temperatures increase the processing time.
- In general: Retanol® Xtreme SE screeds should have been levelled and smoothed/rubbed after max. 60 minutes.
- Never reactivate screed mortar which is already setting with water – this also applies in particular to mechanical and manual smoothing – nor mix with fresh Retanol® Xtreme SE.
- Always shake Retanol® Xtreme SE well before use.
- Shake the product at regular intervals (about every 30 minutes) during application. Long "standstill periods" of the canister cause the ingredients to deposit at the bottom, with a negative effect on the function of the product.
- Draught, direct sunlight and excessive heat (heating period in the cold season) must be avoided during the entire application.
- It may be necessary to darken large window fronts and floor-level glass facade areas.
Important:
Cement quantities below 62.5 kg = 312.5 kg/m³ and/or dosages below 400 ml = 2,000 ml/m³ do not lead to any strength improvement compared to screeds without RETANOL® XTREME SE.
