| Due to the rapid hardening of Ciment Fondu®, the heat released in the first few hours after setting is sufficient to enable concreting in sub-zero conditions, down to -10°C. Concreting in freezing conditions requires specific caution, more information is given in the Ciment Fondu® brochure. |

PRODUCTION IN SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURE
AS LOW AS -10°C:
To prevent the concrete from freezing before the initial set occurs:
- Use warm or hot water
- Protect aggregates from cold
- After casting, protect concrete from freezing for 4 to 5 hours with insulating blanket or other appropriate means...
