FORCEM SCREED BINDER

High-Performance Hydraulic Screed Binder with Mineralcore Technology

high-performance hydraulic binder engineered for rapid-drying, high-strength screeds with controlled shrinkage

FORCEM Screed Binder is a high-performance hydraulic binder engineered for rapid-drying, high-strength screeds with controlled shrinkage. FORCEM Screed Binder enhances compaction, durability, and substrate adhesion—ideal for bonded, unbonded, and floating screeds. With excellent compatibility with ACTFLEX 300 and underfloor heating, FORCEM Screed Binder delivers consistent results in commercial, residential, and external screed applications.
