Applications & Use Cases
- ▸ High-range water-reducing superplasticizer in concrete and cementitious mortars, deflocculating cement particles to cut water demand and boost workability and compressive strength.
- ▸ Dispersing agent for gypsum board, ceramic slips, and refractory castables to control rheology and reduce viscosity at high solids loading.
- ▸ Dye-leveling and dispersing aid in textile dyeing of disperse and vat dyes, keeping pigment particles suspended for uniform shade development.
- ▸ Dispersant carrier in agrochemical wettable powders and water-dispersible granules, stabilizing milled active-ingredient slurries.
- ▸ Grinding aid and dispersant in pigment, dye, and pesticide milling and in emulsion polymerization for latex and synthetic rubber.
