Additional technical information no. 57
ASO®-SEB Strengths and grading curves ASO-SEB is an optimised drying, fast-hardening binder to produce cement-based screeds with early readiness to receive and high strength. It is suitable as a wearing surface or substrate for tiles, boards, textile coverings, parquet, or PVC. With ASO-SEB it is possible to produce cement-based screeds with the minimum quality CT-C25-F4 per DIN EN 13 813 by working in accordance with the technical data sheet for Cement-based screeds. The aggregate used has a significant influence on the water demand, the binder requirement and the strength. The following information is intended to provide an estimate of the strengths that can be achieved with the aggregates available on site.

The following diagrams show the typical grading curves of aggregates commonly used for screed production. These are aggregates rich with fine parts, which require a greater quantity of water and binding agent in comparison to the optimum grading curve between A8-B8 close to B8. However, in accordance with investigations by the institute for building material testing and flooring research (“IBF”), use of such aggregates stands at almost 70 % nationwide. Such aggregates are generally good to apply and smooth, but they require a greater quantity of water and binding agent in order to achieve similar strengths as with optimum grains. Our investigations with the adjacent typical representatives of aggregates rich with fine parts have shown that ASO-SEB in conjunction with grading curves around C8 and above can be used to produce good screeds if the formula is correspondingly adjusted (binder and added water).

*) Information applies to +23°C and 50 % relative humidity In the case of screeds that are required to satisfy a certain screed quality in accordance with DIN 18560 or DIN EN 13813, a performance test/confirmation test is necessary. This must be performed before starting the work.
