Fastcure CP

  • FASTCURE CP is a chloride free accelerating admixture basedon a combination of formate and nitrite salts.
  • It is supplied asa straw colored solution that instantly disperses in water.FASTCURE CP accelerates the early stages of cementhydration, producing a more rapid stiffening and allowingstrength gain to commence at an earlier stage.
  • This effect is particularly noticeable at low temperatures and is most significant in the first 24 hours after mixing.
  • Aesthetics – Available in specify shades.
  • Easy to use – Easily to mix with water and forms soft consistency paste which is easy to fill the joints.
  • Shrinkage & cracking – Avoids cracks formation in the joints and also there is negligible shrinkage.
  • Service Temperature – Specially formulated for temperature range of 5° – 120°C.
  • Water resistant – Excellent water-resistance making it beneficial for application in areas immersed under water.
  • Durability & UV resistant – Excellent UV resistance & durability enables the product use for exterior application.
  • High Strength & abrasion resistant – High strength & abrasion resistance properties makes it suitable for grouting of toilets & bathrooms.
1. Surface Preparation

  • Surface must be cleaned and should be free from dirt, cured tile adhesive. Remove dust with wire brush &by air blower.
  • For exterior grouting application, wet the tiles prior to applying Proofer Tile Grout.

2. Mixing

  • Add the grout powder to the mixing Proofer Grout Hardner (w:p ratio – 1 : 2.5 by volume) and mix with slow speed drill (250-300 rpm) to a soft & smooth consistency paste.
  • If the grout mortar has become too stiff to work, it should be discarded and a new batch should be prepared.

3. Application

Apply to the tile joints with squeegee, spatula or putty blade. After application flush the surface of tile using a hard rubber float, working diagonally across the grout joints to fill and compact the joints. All excess grout should be removed with the same rubber float without any delay.

  • Lesser the quantity of grout left on the face of the tiles while application, the final cleaning will be easier. with Proofer Tile Care – Heavy Duty – 156.
  • However, it is important to allow the grout to set in the joint and to let it acquire its initial set before any further cleaning. After the initial set of the grout, clean the tile surface with a pad of cheesecloth or towel dampened with minimum quantity of clean and cool water. Rub in a circular motion to further compact the grout.
  • The remaining surface grout on the tile can also be cleaned at this time. Scrubbing pad fastened to a float works very well to remove grout from the porous tiles.
  • Rebuff the tile surface and grout within 1-2 hours to remove all weep water and grout residue from the surface, which helps to reduce the efflorescence and to control colour variation.
  • FASTCURE CP is most effective at low temperatures and earlyages.
  • Where compressive strength gain is the major requirement, and stiffening rates are less important, a more cost effective performance may be obtained through the use of a ARROTILE plasticiser or superplasticiser.
  • Normal precautions for cold weather concreteing should be followed where FASTCURE CP is used.
