£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 -
£5.14 ex. VATSeal It Accelerator is designed to be used with Seal It Liquid Membrane when applying in temperatures below 5°C (41°F) to ensure full cure at a normal speed of approximately 1mm per 24 hours. The mixing ratio is 1L of accelerator to 20L of Liquid Membrane, or for 5L of Liquid Membrane, add 250ml of accelerator. Mix the components thoroughly by hand with a slow-speed paddle, ensuring the accelerator is evenly distributed. Avoid mixing too quickly to prevent introducing air, which can cause pin-holing in the final coating. Key Points: Ensures full cure of Seal It Liquid Membr

£5.07 ex. VATSikaMix 3 in 1 is a water-resisting plasticiser and retarder designed to enhance the performance of renders and screeds while also helping to prevent efflorescence. It improves durability by reducing water penetration and lowering porosity, while its air-entraining properties help maintain workability for longer periods and prevent water bleeding. In addition, it inhibits the transmission of hygroscopic salts, contributing to a stronger, longer-lasting finish. Key Points: - Improves resistance to water penetration and reduces porosity. - Enhances durability and long-term performance of re

£7.11 ex. VATSika MaxMix® Concentrated Accelerator & Frostproofer is a chloride-free, air-entraining admixture designed to accelerate the setting and hardening of mortars and renders. Formulated for cold-weather construction, it provides frost protection at temperatures down to -4°C while eliminating the need for a separate frostproofing additive. The product improves workability, reduces water absorption and penetration, and is safe for use with embedded metal components such as brick ties and reinforcement. Its concentrated formula delivers economical performance, with 1 litre treating up to 100 kg of
