When Screed Works Ltd is programmed to lay a bonded screed, the premium bonding agent of choice is ARDEX A 18.

BONDING COATS FOR SCREEDS

In the form of a green powder, Ardex A18 comes with aggregates and specially formulated additives which, when mixed with water, produces a slurry, excellent for improving adhesion of bonding.
