DU CEM

NORMAL SETTING, HYDRAULIC BINDER FOR INTERIOR & EXTERIOR

Dubond DUCEM is a Eco-friendly, hydraulic, normal-setting, rapid-drying mineral binder for highperformance screeds and heat-radiant slabs, Dubond Ducem, mixed with inert materials of assorted grain size from 0 to 8 mm, creates screeds of high dimensional stability and constant moisture stability, guaranteeing the rapid safe laying of ceramic tiles after 24 hours and hardwood floors after just 5 days.

  • Instruction For Use
  • Hydraulic binder for screeds with normal setting and rapid drying, adherent screeds with thickness ≥ 20 mm and floating screeds with thickness ≥ 40 mm.

Covering materials

  • Homogeneous tiles, ceramic tiles, klinker, cotto, glass and ceramic mosaic, of all types and formats.
  • Natural stone, agglomerate materials, marbles, also subject to a high degree of deformation or sudden staining due to water absorption.
  • Hardwood floors, rubber, PVC, linoleum, textiles.

Substrates

  • Prefabricated or cast concrete subfloors, cement-based screeds, lightened concrete, sound and heat insulating panelboards
  • Screeds for indoor/outdoor use, in domestic, commercial and industrial applications and for street furniture, also in areas subject to thermal shock and freezing, heat-radiant slabs

Dubond Ducem can be applied in a practical and secure manner following the traditional phases required to produce cement-based screeds:

  • Preparation of level belts,
  • Casting and compacting the paste,
  • Levelling and final smoothing with a manual spreader or by mechanical means.

The compacting phase is particularly important to ensure the highest levels of mechanical performance. The finish of the screed, carried out by moistening it with water and using a rotating steel disk, can result in the creation of a surface crust which is not very absorbent and will extend the drying time of the screed and worsen the performance of the adhesive.

  • Surface Preparation : For corroded and heavily rusted surface it is economical to remove the loose rust by mechanical means like wire brushing, chipping, hammering etc depending on the extent of corrosion.
  • Application : RUST REMOVER 100 by brush, cotton waste swab or spray on the affected metal surface. Leave it in contact with the surface till the reddish color of the corroded surface has changed to nearest original black. Excess application may sometime give whitish black surface. After a minimum 24 hours remove the freed loose rustparticles by brush
  • Recoating : Recoating After the removal of loose rust any reddish rusted surface still left has to be re treated with Rust Remover After the surface totally dries up (within around 48 hrs.) a preventive coating like Dubond’s RUST REMOVER 100 may be applied. The Surface should be dry.
