Do you want a fluid cementitious grout that fills the joints between terrazzo tiles? Do you want the grout white or pigmented in a range of colours to match decorative stone sets? Do you want it to gain strength and go off quick? Do you want to use the grout outside when ambient temperatures are low? Do you want the grout to be non shrink, strong bonding, high strength, crack resistant and waterproof? Do you want it to resist floor cleaning materials and chemicals? Or do you want it flexible so it moves in sympathy with the surrounding tiles? Do you want the grout to be high yielding, economical, non flammable, non toxic, odour free, user friendly and safe to use?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then use Rockbond Ultraflow Grout Accelerated White!

Watch out Jack Frost is about! Does your property have porous concrete, render or brick? If so, rain water will be absorbed into the structure, and if the temperature drops below freezing, Jack Frost will attack and turn the water into ice. When ice forms it expands causing breakdown and damage. It's a vicious circle of freeze, expand, destroy and thaw.

Seal, strengthen and protect your concrete and brick porous structures with Rockbond Primer Latex. Simply paint or spray two coats onto the surface and keep Jack Frost out!

Concrete shrinks and cracks. Look at concrete anywhere and you will see it cracks. Cracks let in moisture, carbon dioxide, acid gases and oxygen which accelerates the corrosion of steel and the loss of strength in reinforced concrete structures. If the concrete is not repaired, then the structure will fail and fall down!

Stop the deterioration of reinforced concrete before it starts! Add Rockbond Admix A901 powder to the mix water of ready mixed concrete, site batched concrete and precast products. The admixture is quick, simple and safe to use.

Rockbond Admix 901 powder is a specially formulated blend of admixtures which, when mixed with Portland cementitious materials, produce renders, mortars, concretes and floor screeds that are shrinkage compensated, crack resistant and self curing. Cementitious materials, enhanced by the addition of the Rockbond Admix 901 are stronger, more impermeable and durable.

Produce safe concrete and save money when you manufacture A901 concrete that lasts!

Do contact the technical department at Rockbond SCP for further information.
