All ARDEX natural stone products feature unique 'RAPIDRY FORMULA' technology, which has been developed to provide practical solutions to the problem of water staining occurring in natural stone tiles.
This unsightly staining is frequently caused when moisture from traditional tile adhesives and grouts gets into the stone dissolving existing materials, such as iron oxides or organic deposits, which can discolour the face and/or edges of natural stone tiles.
'RAPIDRY FORMULA' technology literally 'locks' the mix water within the mortar virtually eliminating the risk of water staining.
Another key feature is rapid, controlled drying and hardening, allowing natural stones to be walked on and grouted in the shortest possible time, helping to minimise downtime.
