Additives & Reinforcements

RETARDER
Set times of all Jesmonite composite materials can be extended by the addition of Retarder to increase working time.

THIXOTROPE
Thixotrope is added so that the viscosity of Jesmonite can be adjusted to the users preference.

QUADAXIAL GLASS
This type of glass reinforcement is tailor made for use with Jesmonite and make Jesmonite fibreglass laminates light, strong and fire resistant.

CHOPPED STRANDS
These can be added to all Jesmonite composites to give increased strength in thin section castings, and also to act as a filler to assist in laminating.

PVA FIBRES
PVA fibres are the new alternative to glass reinforcements for cement systems.
