CIMENT FONDU®: A PARTNER FOR YOUR MOST CHALLENGING JOBS!
CIMENT FONDU® has been a companion to craftsmen for 100 years… a simple and practical solution, CIMENT FONDU® is the essential partner for masonry, sanitation and Public Works professionals seeking convenient setting times, or to gain time in slab hardening or else to be able to work in cold weather.
CIMENT FONDU® is commonly used at all worksites, from new construction to renovation work, public works projects to skilled building crafts. It offers simple and efficient solutions for all emergency work, as well as for difficult worksites where the ordinary performance offered by Portland cements is not enough.
THE EXCEPTIONAL PROPERTIES OF A MULTI-PURPOSE CEMENT
Manufactured from bauxite and limestone, CIMENT FONDU® is a calcium aluminate-based hydraulic binder that complies with NF EN 14647 standards. CIMENT FONDU® possesses some exceptional properties, which are common in the construction, sanitation and Public Works sectors. It may be used alone or as part of a mix. When it is used alone, CIMENT FONDU® can produce concrete or mortar that rapidly achieves high levels of mechanical resistance and optimum drying, even in cold weather (up to -10°C).
Rapid hardening and drying
Lintels, arches
Commercial space floors
Sanitation
Public areas
Industrial flooring
Concreting in cold weather
Operations at risk of night-time frost
Sanitation operations
Lintels, beam/girder attachments/anchors
Repairs to refrigeration chambers
With CIMENT FONDU® one can also produce mortars and concrete that are resistant to aggressive environments such as high temperatures (up to 1200°C) or corrosion (up to pH ≥ 4):
High temperatures
Barbecue cookers, chimneys, bread or pizza ovens
Incinerators
Outdoor incineration areas, fire control practice areas
Chemical or bacterial corrosion
Sewage systems
Sea-side structures
Agricultural structures
Agro-industry
When CIMENT FONDU® is used in a Portland cement mix, it accelerates the setting of the mortar for all small-scale building work or sanitation (non load-bearing structures):
Rapid setting (10 to 30 minutes)
Board
Edges
Resurfacing of old walls
Drain and grids in sanitation
Very rapid setting (3 to 10 minutes)
Anchors for hinges, posts used in sanitation, street closing, traffic signals, door frames
Repairs to water channels
When CIMENT FONDU® concrete is used alone in substitution of Portland cement, it can be used directly at the work site or else produced in a ready-to-use concrete plant.
Today, the renown of CIMENT FONDU®, a young centenary brand, is widely recognized among skilled construction workers and Public Works workers and by those businesses that sell it. It is a symbol of reliable technical performance and know-how transmitted from generation to generation.
In order to use CIMENT FONDU® properly, we propose a practical guide about its placing, which you may visit at CIMENT FONDU® Documentation on our site www.cimentfondu.com, available in several languages.
