£3.75 - £18.20 ex. VATAlphaChem Accelerator, Frostproofer & Hardener is a heat‐generating accelerator for cement-based mixes. Its principal uses are to facilitate the production of high early strength concrete, cement render and mortar. It is suitable for use as an aid to cold weather working when the heat generated will offset the retarding effect of low temperatures. AlphaChem Accelerator, Frostproofer & Hardener is based on calcium chloride and surfactants and is therefore not suitable for use in structures that are reinforced with steel. Neither should it be used in mortar in contact withSelect options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page -
£54.15 ex. VATARDEX E 100 is an acrylic-based dispersion designed for enhancing screeding and rendering mortars for both internal and external applications.

£11.52 - £986.92 ex. VATPlanicrete is a highly stable water dispersion of a specialized synthetic elastomer that is resistant to alkaline saponification and features a low glass transition temperature. This SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber)-based elastomer retains stability even after aging due to the tightly woven chemical binders that connect its polymer chains. This unique structure allows the polymer chains to adopt a parallel alignment when deformed, resulting in exceptional elasticity. Supplied as a highly fluid, white latex, Planicrete enhances the adhesion, plasticity, thixotropy, water retention, andSelect options This product has multiple variants.
