RETANOL® XTREME NEATHERM

Retanol® Xtreme NeaTherm

With extremely high early and final strengths (up to CT-C60-F8), Retanol® Xtreme NeaTherm offers a reliable solution for renovation screeds from 25 mm pipe cover or over dimpled sheets and with a total thickness of 30 mm. In addition, the short time required for covering - 2 days for tiles, 3 days for all other coverings and 5 days with underfloor heating - ensures rapid construction progress.

DOSAGE

Compressive strengthCT-C40-F6 CT-C60-F8***
Dosage400 ml400 ml
Cement quantity62,5 kg75 kg
Commisioning cycle4 days4 days

* with underfloor heating/bubble slab
** for ceramic coverings
*** 30–40 %, 2–8 mm gravel to be added

  • Do not exceed the maximum dosage of 500 ml.
  • The specifications refer to a standard mixing vessel with a net capacity of 200 litres and a filling quantity of approx. 320 kg screed gravel.
  • The strength class depends on the quality of the screed sand used.
  • The specification ‘after the X. Day’ does not include the day of installation.
  • The specification ‘after x hours’ begins after the last square metre of screed has been laid.
  • For nominal thicknesses over 80 mm, the readiness for covering may be delayed. Therefore, consult technical support in advance to find a joint solution.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Shake the container well to mix the Retanol® Xtreme NeaTherm additive to a consistent colour before use, and then shake as required throughout the installation to maintain the consistency of the liquid (every 30 mins).
  2. Fill half of mixing vessel with 0-4 mm screeding sand (60-70% fine grains up to 2 mm in diameter, and 30-40% coarse grains greater than 2 mm in diameter).
  3. Add Retanol® Xtreme NeaTherm to the first mixing water (usually 5-10 litres), then fill the machine completely.
  4. Gradually add the required amount of residual water until a stiff-plastic consistency is achieved.
  5. Let the screed mix for a full 2 minutes.

SAND, WATER, CEMENT

  • Grading curve: Sand must be according to DIN 1045-2 A/B / BS 13139*, for the production of screed concrete, grit range 0-4 mm
  • W/C value: Min. 0,4 max. 0,6
  • Cement: Use of cement according to PCT cement release list
  • ≥ C60-F8 and/or ready for covering after the 2nd day for tiles: 75 kg cement grade 42.5 R/N

*UK only

PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Working time: 45 minutes
  • Finishing time: 60 minutes
  • Outside temperature: +5 °C to +28 °C for screed, environment and substrate
  • Do not mix with other screed additives
  • Never reactivate screed that has already set with water

Airing

  • If the air humidity is 55 % or higher, ventilate 3-4 times a day for 20-30 minutes 24 hours after screed installation in order to achieve readiness for covering.
  • If the humidity is below 55%, contact PCT technical support to avoid cupping etc.

FURTHER PRODUCT FEATURES

  • Shrinkage can be further reduced in combination with Agent X®
  • Density approx. 2,000 to 2,200 kg/m3
  • Thermal conductivity approx. 2.0-2.4 lambda
  • Better processing and lower peel resistance
  • Minimally effected by building climate conditions
  • Reduction of air content
  • Start ventilation after 24 hours
  • 80-90 % of final strength 3 days after installation
  • Moisture protection for at least 4 months

Protective instructions during and after installation

  • We recommend our PROTEC-ES/SP product to protect against drying out too quickly, depending on the floor covering. We recommend consulting the PCT technical support team.
  • Protect the screed against rapid drying of the surface due to draughts, sunlight and low humidity.
  • Large window fronts and floor-level glass façade areas should be darkened if necessary.
  • Cover screeds in outdoor areas or enclose areas to be covered. Contact PCT technical support if screed is to be laid outdoors.

CM MEASUREMENT

  • A Retanol® screed is considered a proprietary screed within its first 56 days after installation , it can not be tested with a RH test, it must be tested with a calcium carbide method before covering.
    Can be tested and approved by PCT Chemie in regard of rest mouisture by PCT Chemie in form of a CM measurement.
  • The CM measurement, including the issuing of a guarantee declaration and the assumption of the warranty, can be ordered free of charge from PCT Chemie during this period by the Retanol® specialist company, floor layers, tilers or the client. Further information on the release of the screed can be found on our homepage under ‘Guarantee’ (EU only).
  • After 56 days, the Retanol® screed is assessed according to the standard values of DIN 18560/BS-8203*.
