Fire Cement

Ciment Fondu is suitable for high temperature applications when used with appropriate refractory aggregates, Ciment Fondu mortars & concretes can withstand temperatures up to 1250°C. Also can be used for fast hardening and rapid drying concrete and mortars. Ciment Fondu is also widely used by sculptors because it is extremely hard and quick setting and gives superb detail. Using Ciment Fondu and a stone aggregate for a concrete mix has replaced stone for certain types of work. Because it is cheap, hard, tough, and durable, it is particularly suitable for large outdoor projects, especially decorative wall surfaces and with proper reinforcement it permits great freedom of design. By using techniques similar to those of the building industry, sculptors are able to create works in concrete on a large scale. Ciment Fondu is a fine high alumina casting cement which achieves its full strength in 24 hours, it has a working time of approximately 2 hours and is hard in 4-5 hours. It is dark grey/brown in colour.
