Learn about Jesmonite AC730

We are proud to share we are 1 of just 2 Australian Stockists’ of the Jesmonite Product Range; more specifically Jesmonite AC100 and Jesmonite AC730. In this blog we are going to share all about Jesmonite AC730, what it’s best used for and the benefits of using it.

Jesmonite AC730 is known as a rapid setting acrylic modified cementitious composite. The system is primarily designed for glass reinforced, lightweight, hand laminated decorative applications, that can also be used for small decorative castings. Jesmonite AC730 is the most popular micro-cement product within the Jesmonite range of materials. It is typically used in external environments, but equally suitable for internal features. Jesmonite AC730 offers a distinct high-detailed surface finish without compromising on performance.

Some of the Jesmonite products like AC730, are suitable for larger scale architectural applications and detailed panellised formats including external decorative features. Jesmonite cladding panels can be affixed in fashions akin to conventional GRC or concrete systems.

Jesmonite AC730 Application Examples:

• Cladding Panels
• External Architectural Features
• Homewares
• Stone-Effect Castings
• Ornate Mouldings
• Furniture
• Decorative Murals/Artworks
• Sculptural Pieces

Jesmonite AC730 can be sealed using Jesmonite Flexi-guard or Penetrating Sealer (dependent on application) to create a water and stain-resistant piece, for scaled applications AC730 can be combined with AC730 Spray Liquid to allow the product to be utilised with a spray gun, therefore speeding up the prospective application.

Jesmonite AC730 has many characteristics and product benefits. Some of those benefits include:

• Superior Cast and Glass Reinforcement
• No Harmful Chemicals
• VOC and Solvent Free
• Fire Resistant
• Lightweight
• Impact Resistant
• Shrinkage compensated for material of low permeability

Jesmonite AC730 is durable in all conditions of external weathering including water features. Jesmonite AC730 has reduced free-lime content, with low alkalinity, leading to major reductions in efflorescence in comparison with ordinary Portland cement systems. It also contains a fine decorative aggregate and powder pigments, carefully controlled to give a consistent decorative surface finish after treatment with a proprietary brick cleaner or acid etch.
