Description
Jesmonite AC730 is a rapid-setting acrylic polymer-modified cementitious composite. It is a shrinkage-compensated material of low permeability and is durable in all conditions of external weathering. The compound is alkali-free and as such is free from the efflorescence associated with Ordinary Portland Cement-based systems. The product contains a fine decorative aggregate and powder pigments, carefully controlled to give a consistent decorative surface finish after treatment with a proprietary brick cleaner or acid etch.
You have a working time of approximately 20 minutes, depending on size and complexity, the cast should be left in the mould for a further 2½ – 3½ hours and achieves over 90% of its ultimate strength in the first 24 hours.
500kg and 1000kg Bulk Bags of Jesmonite AC730 Base are available on for all stone finishes - please enquire for prices and availability.

Application Areas
Glass-reinforced decorative architectural mouldings, and small castings. Glass reinforcements such as Jesmonite Quadaxial fabric or 13mm Glass Chopped Strands can be utilised for lightweight, high-impact panels. It can also be used to create Garden ornaments and statuary and is suitable for water features.
Key Attributes
Improved flexural strength and stability
Excellent Abrasion resistance and impact strength
High Compressive and tensile strength
Rapid curing and high early strength gain
Shrinkage compensated and dimensionally stable
Storage
As a basic rule Jesmonite liquid containers should be kept well sealed to prevent water evaporation and skin forming. They should be stored at a constant temperature between 5-25oC and used within twelve months. Freezing must be avoided. Powders should be kept dry and stored at 5-25oC.
