NEW: BAL Quickset Cement

BAL’s programme of constant improvement has continued with the introduction of its new BAL Quickset Cement. The popular product has been completely re-engineered, with fixers and contractors nationwide trialling and providing feedback to the development team.

Fixers appreciate the new BAL Quickset Cement formulation for its versatility and on-site performance. It is suitable for all key applications, including use with underfloor heating, with resilient and wooden floor finishes and in such total immersion areas as swimming pools. In any application, it offers high water and frost resistance.

Its rapid strength development means better setting performance. This is a particular benefit during colder weather, when it cuts the delay of waiting for a screed or render to set. In normal conditions, the screed will bear foot traffic after just three hours. Tiling onto bonded screeds or renders can begin after as little as four hours, or 48 hours for floating or unbonded screeds. This compares highly favourably with the minimum setting time of three weeks for standards OPC screeds.

Reducing setting delays is not the only way in which new BAL Quickset Cement cuts project costs. It has an impressive 60-minute pot life, which enables projects to be completed with fewer, larger mixes for faster completion. It is also pumpable, which further facilitates faster screed completion.

The new formulation has greater flexural and compressive strength. This allows the use of leaner mix ratios, reducing project material costs. It also offers significantly reduced shrinkage, giving 80% less shrinkage than a standard OPC screed.

New BAL Quickset Cement is available in 20 kg sacks, a size which is ideal for 1:5 mix ratios. The use of valve sack packaging also enables easier machine loading. It can be obtained from authorised stockists nationwide and, as with all BAL products, carries a full 25-year guarantee.
