UK: Mexico-based Cemex subsidiary Cemex UK has announced the launch of Supaflo Rapide, a calcium sulphate binder-based screed for all domestic and commercial floor applications. The company said that the product achieved a moisture condition of below 75% relative humidity at between 10 and 15 days under controlled conditions.
West Europe regional quality and product technology director Steve Crompton said, “Our technical expertise has enabled us to develop a new, more sustainable, premium quality screed that will help increase the efficiency of the job site, allow effective use of labour and improve the climate impact of projects. Supaflo Rapide uses an enhanced calcium sulphate binder and the latest admixture technology to cut down on drying time while maintaining the speed of installation associated with these types of screeds.” He added, “This will greatly benefit construction companies as they juggle the on-going challenges of site working requirements alongside increasing demand for fast and safe completion of jobs with a lower environmental impact.”
