Gun Mixes
Gun mixes are essential to easy and economical installation with minimal rebound. Pre-dampening with 2%-4% water is generally recommended. Additional water is added at the gun nozzle during installation. Cer-Met Inc. stocks an assortment of gun mixes that are applicable to many different applications.
Plastics and Ram Mixes
For different applications Cer-Met Inc. carries air setting, phosphate bonded and heat setting plastics. These are furnished in ready to use cartons. Plastics do not require forms for installation and can be installed easily in difficult locations to follow any contour. They have a lower rammed density. Ram mixes are supplied in granular form and are more suited for erosion resistance due to their higher rammed densities.
