Sopro Rapidur® EB 5 Screed Accelerator
A powder concentrate used to produce rapid-set screeds allowing early flooring installation.
Additive blend to accelerate setting of screeds made from Portland cement (CEM I), Portland-slag cement (CEM II)*) and Portland-limestone cement (CEM II)*) of strength classes 32.5 or 42.5.**) Hydration process is speeded up through rapid water-binding properties of concentrate constituents.
Sopro Rapidur® EB 5 is used in conjunction with cement (see Table 1) to produce a reliable, rapid-set binder for screeds that allows early flooring installation. A residual moisture content of 2 % is achieved after 3 – 5 days under normal site conditions. As rapid-set screeds produced with Sopro Rapidur® EB 5 exhibit a considerably greater surface strength and higher loadability than standard cement screeds, they can accommodate normal site traffic, with no risk of damage, after only approx. 3 days.
