When Variset XP can help
For all Contractors, time efficiency and cost efficiency go hand in hand. Keeping the Customers satisfied is equally important. For them, installation quality and completion dates are two big priorities.
Until now, any one of the following typical situations could put one or more of those crucial goals at risk:
Heatwave on the way
High temperatures mean your usual rapid-setting adhesive dries TOO fast before it's even been applied.
Do you switch to a normal-setting product, and accept the 24-hour wait to grout ?
Sudden cold snap
No heating on site although it should still be ok to fix just ! But the adhesive is going to take an age to set.
Does it mean tearing up the work schedule ?
Really want to fit in grouting today
The work is running a bit behind. It's looking like the last tiles won't be placed in time for the adhesive to set, and for us still to be able to grout today.
Is postponing grouting to tomorrow inevitable ?
Restricted time window for job
The site is a public environment that's open daily. Just a couple of hours overnight to do some of the tiling, and allow for the adhesive to set, before cleaning up and morning opening.
Is that the most you can expect to achieve in each window ?
Must complete this week
New contract must start on Monday. It's on a knife-edge. There should be just enough time to do the necessary, but one blip is all it takes...
Should you just hope for the best ?

BAL Variset XP gives you controllable setting in all temperatures.
How it works
BAL Variset XP powder on its own, mixed with water, would set in about 10 minutes at 20C and even sooner in very hot conditions.
When Variset XP liquid is added to the mix, it slows down this drying process. The bigger the dose, the longer the working and setting time.
Because the fixer adds the liquid, it's they who control the time according to the current temperature and/or the fixing schedule.
It's as simple as...
- Check the room/tiling area temperature using the thermo-label on the Variset XP Liquid bottle neck (look for the green box under the scale). NOTE: Allow bottle to acclimatise in the tiling area for 10 minutes before reading temperature.
- Decide the working/setting time required in relation to temperature, time of day and/or planned job scheduling.
- Consult the Dosage table it's on each 20kg sack of Variset XP powder.
- Add required dosage of Variset XP liquid to the water before the powder goes in (mix ratio: 20kg Variset XP powder to 4 litres water). When smooth and lump-free, start using immediately.
