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.
