Hanson Quickcem Cement 25kg
Quickcem Cement
Hanson Quickcem is manufactured to a proprietary technical specification and is a Portland cement
containing special additives developed to give quick setting and hardening characteristics. Hanson
Quickcem cement is produced using carefully selected raw materials and strict quality control
throughout each stage of the manufacturing process to ensure a consistent final product is achieved.
APPLICATIONS
Hanson Quickcem is an ideal cement for repair and maintenance applications where the increased
rate of set and strength development are beneficial in both mortar and concrete, allowing normal
services to be brought back into operation much sooner than with traditional Portland cement. Hanson
Quickcem cement is commonly used for a wide range of applications. These applications cover but
are not limited to:
• fixing manhole covers
• patch repairs
• concrete paths/steps
• repairing rendering and floor screeds
• fixing fence posts and railings
COMPATIBILITY
Hanson Quickcem cement is suitable for use with a wide range of additives and admixtures to extend
the properties and uses of concretes, mortars, renders and screeds. It is recommended that trial
mixes are carried out to determine optimum proportions.
GUIDANCE FOR USE
• The rapid setting nature of this product makes it unsuitable for large concrete slabs or large
screed areas as they cannot normally be placed and finished in the available time.
• The amount of materials mixed in any one operation should be small enough to ensure that all
the material can be used and all equipment thoroughly cleaned before the mix has set.
• As a general rule, concrete should be placed within the range of 10°C to 30°C.
• In cold weather, freshly poured concrete/mortar should be protected to avoid frost damage.
• Hanson Cement cannot be held responsible for poor workmanship.
• Quickcem is made from natural materials. Therefore slight variations in colour may occur.
• To avoid premature deterioration of the product please follow the correct storage requirements
