Berolan LP-W4N
Functions:
Foaming Agent
Physical Form:
Solid, Powder
End Uses:
Building Materials
Berolan LP-W4N is a low dust air entraining agent for use in gypsum, lime or cement based construction materials with excellent flow properties. It causes an improvement of working by adoption of micro air pores. The small-sized spherical pores supersede the fine grain particles and raise the slipping effect in the fresh mortar. The required dosage may vary over a wide range (0.001 to 0.05 %) and should be detected by preliminary tests, because air pore formation is dependent on several factors (mortar composition, binder grade, fresh mortar consistency, temperature, mixing time and others). The air entraining agent should be intermixed homogeneously in the dry mortar or to the dry mortar components before addition of water. Suitability tests should be run, because raising air contents cause decreasing strengths.The regional prevailing technical rules and standards about masonry mortar and plaster should be considered.

Berolan LP-W1HD
Functions:
Plasticizer, Foaming Agent, Wetting Agent
Chemical Family:
Sulfates, Sodium Salts
End Uses:
Building Materials
Berolan LP-W1HD is pure sodium lauryl sulfate, comparable to LP-W1, but with a higher bulk density. Due to its strong foaming properties, it significantly reduces surface tension and also acts as a wetting and plasticizing agent. Used as an additive in various mortar mixtures, ready-mix plasters and filling compounds, it forms a fine, stable system of air voids. Berolan LP-W1HD is suitable for applications based on plaster, lime, or cement. Its other advantageous characteristics include that it increases frost resistance and reduces susceptibility to shrinkage, cracking, and efflorescence. The dosage of LP-W1HD depends on the desired result and can vary between 0.005 – 0.1%, based on the dry mix. Since the introduction of air is also influenced by the machine equipment, the latter needs to be taken into account as well.

ROKAmid KAD/2A
Functions:
Foaming Agent, Surfactant, Stabilizer, Surfactant (Nonionic)
Chemical Family:
Amides, Non-Ionics
Physical Form:
Liquid
ROKAmid KAD/2A is a non-ionic surfactant with the INCI name ‘Cocamide DEA’. It is based on natural vegetable oils. It has a form of a clear or slightly turbid light-yellow to yellow liquid. ROKAmid KAD/2A is one of the most common co-surfactants, which has a range of very interesting application properties. Most of all, it is used as a rheology modifier, that is a thickener which improves consistence by creating so-called mixed micelles. Among other KAD series ROKAmides, it shows improved thickening properties compared to the ROKAmid KAD or KAD/1A. When mixed with anionic surfactants, it increases and stabilizes the quality of foam. ROKAmid KAD/2A is very effective even at a low concentration.

Functions:
Plasticizer, Foaming Agent, Wetting Agent
Chemical Family:
Sulfates, Sodium Salts
End Uses:
Building Materials
Berolan LP-W2 is a pure sodium lauryl sulfate that has been spray-dried particularly finely. Due to the particularly high fineness, an excellent distribution in dry mortar can be achieved. This also leads to a particularly high effectiveness. Berolan LP-W2 is a high-performance air-entraining agent and an excellent wetting and plasticizing agent for mortar and plasters. Berolan LP-W2 is an excellent foaming agent and plasticizer for the manufacture of ready-to-use plasters, mortar compounds, and filling compounds containing gypsum, lime or cement. Berolan LP-W2 effects the formation of particularly fine, stable air bubbles, thereby considerably improving the General performance of resistance, water retention as well frost stability. Tendency towards contraction and crack formation is also reduced as is wear and tear to mixing apparatus and conveyors. Due to its surface active character Berolan LP-W2 additionally promotes wetting of binders and other ingredients, thus entailing a swifter wetting and dispersion and reducing the tendency towards aggregation during mixing. The necessary quantity depends on the desired effect but generally is between 0.005 – 0.1 %, calculated on the dry mix. In the majority of cases 0.01 % proves sufficient to obtain adequate aeration. The equipment available must also be taken into account, where batch operated mixers generally feed more air into the mortar. Through the purposeful air entrainment the yield is significantly improved. A very quick wetting ensures less entry of coarse air pores and reduced nodule formation (dry spots/knots).
