Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
When mixing Blue Circle Snowcrete White Cement, always follow standard concrete or mortar mixing procedures. Ensure all mixing equipment is clean to avoid contamination that could affect the white colour.
Compatibility:
- Aggregates and Sand: For the brightest white finish, use white sand and white aggregates. Grey or coloured aggregates will alter the final appearance.
- Admixtures and Pigments: Compatible with most standard concrete admixtures and specifically designed for use with pigments to create coloured concrete. Always test pigments for compatibility and colour accuracy.
- Water: Use clean, potable water for mixing.
Care:
- Storage: Store bags in a dry, weatherproof location, off the ground, and away from dampness. Unopened bags can be stored for extended periods without performance degradation.
- Curing: Ensure concrete or mortar made with Snowcrete is properly cured, especially in warm or windy conditions, to achieve optimal strength and prevent surface issues.
- Cleaning: Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with water. Dried cement can be difficult to remove.
