Mix designs need to be adapted to suit individual circumstances. It is strongly recommended that trial mixes are carried out prior to commencement of work to ensure that the mix design and material combinations meet the requirements of the specification and method of use. Reference should be made to the following documents:
• BS 8500 which provides guidance for different types and classes of cement.
• BS EN 998: Specification for mortar for masonry. Rendering and plastering mortar.
• BS EN 13914: Design, preparation and application of external rendering and internal plastering.

CONDITIONS OF USE
• Methods to prevent loss of moisture from exposed surfaces of concrete, known as curing, should be employed for at least the first 7 days after casting
• As a general rule, concrete should be placed within the range of 10°C to 30°C.
• In cold weather, freshly poured concrete/mortar should be protected from low temperatures to avoid frost damage.
• In hot weather and mass concrete pours, there is increased risk of loss of water by evaporation and cracking caused by thermal stresses which could reduce ultimate strength.
• Hanson Cement cannot be held responsible for poor workmanship.
• Hanson Multicem cement is made from natural materials. Therefore slight variations in colour may occur.
• Hanson Multicem cement produced at different manufacturing works may also have variation in colour.
• To avoid premature deterioration of Hanson Multicem cement please follow the correct storage requirements.
