ARDEX A 38 MIX is a blend incorporating ARDEX A 38 cement and graded sands. It has been specially formulated to produce ultra-rapid drying floor screeds for internal and external locations. With ‘RAPIDRY PLUS FORMULA’ Technology, an ARDEX A 38 MIX screed can be walked on just 3 hours after application and ceramic and natural stone tiles can be installed after just 4 hours irrespective of thickness, making it ideal for fast-track tiling projects. Resilient floor coverings such as carpet, vinyl and wood can be installed after 48 hours irrespective of thickness.
ARDEX A 38 MIX achieves rapid strengthening and will pass a BRE Screed (ISCR) Test after just 6 hours. After a day, it will also exceed the acceptable minimum compressive and tensile bending strengths attained by ordinary cement screeds after 28 days.
ARDEX A 38 MIX is used to produce bonded, unbonded and floating screeds for internal and external locations, including wet areas such as swimming pools. It can also be used for large repairs to existing cement/sand screeds. It is ideal for situations where early foot traffic and rapid hardening are required.
Key Points:
- Pre-blended with graded sand for convenience - just add water.
- Ideal for screeding in locations where access is limited.
- Walkable in 3 hours.
- Receives ceramic and natural stone tiles directly after only 4 hours.
- Install carpet, wood and vinyl floorcoverings after 48 hours.
- Passes BRE Screed (ISCR) Testing after 6 hours.
- After just one day, it achieves the acceptable minimum compressive and tensile bending strengths attained by an ordinary cement screed after 28 days.
- For bonded, unbonded and floating screeds.
- Can be used with underfloor heating systems.
- Conforms to EN 13813 CT-C40-F5.
