Prompt natural quick-setting hydraulic binder is practical for works requiring serviceability in the shortest possible time, due to the very high speed at which it sets and hardens, but it also has a low environmental footprint. It is unusual in that it is mined rather than extracted from open air quarries and is fired at a low temperature, which means low CO2 emissions.
NB. Supply and sale of components and products for various construction systems ordered from our website, over the phone or from our Yard does NOT constitute a specification.
Its properties take the knowhow of craftmen and women to higher spheres and enable heritage architects to have 19th and 20th-century works of historical interest restored using the original methods.
Prompt Natural Cement: a special quick-setting, rapid hardening cement used for fast masonry work, underwater works, drains and sewers and also for restoration and decoration of heritage assets and in eco-construction. It is the Group's historic cement, having been produced since 1970 from a natural Alpine rock. Its performance is exceptional, developing high strength immediately and with little shrinkage.

NB. Imported natural cement products are made from naturally occurring raw materials and on occasion may differ slightly from batch to batch in colour and texture. Every effort is made to produce a consistent product as part of the manufacturers own factory controlled procedures and quality control in line with EN Standards. It is strongly recommended to test a small amount of material, in situ, to assess suitability and performance and purchase adequate amounts of product from the same batch to fulfil any job. Chalk Down Lime Ltd can NOT guarantee the colour and texture of any imported natural cement products.
