Paving Process with the HEXARC X3550 Mold

 The most important factor when paving using the cement paving mold is the physical condition of the mortar to be poured into the molds. The cement content should not be less than 300, with 350 being the recommended standard. The slump of the mortar should be between 4 to 6 to avoid excessive moisture and ensure the mold works effectively. If a higher slump is used, the working cycle will increase, and the curing process may be delayed.

Before positioning the molds, it’s recommended to lubricate them with an appropriate oil or diesel. Ensure the mold is saturated with fresh water to prevent the concrete mix from absorbing too much moisture before curing.

Once the molds are in place, the mortar should be poured into the cells and smoothed. If using multiple colors, smaller trowels may be helpful for precise placement. After filling the molds, lightly tap the surface to help settle and compact the mortar.

Allow the mortar to cure for 2 to 3 hours before removing the molds. When removing, ensure the molds are lifted vertically to avoid damaging the pattern. After demolding, the surface should be cured with water for at least 3 days.

The newly paved surface can be walked on after 24 to 48 hours, and after 7 days, it will be ready for heavy traffic, such as vehicles.

Required Number of HEXARC X3550 Molds for Paving

 The number of molds required depends on the area to be paved and the available time. For areas smaller than 50 m², at least 2 molds are recommended. For larger areas, between 4 and 12 molds should be used to increase the speed of execution and allow for adequate initial curing.
