Key Features

Cimsil A55 G is a chloride-free thixotropic additive specifically developed to act as an antisagging/ antislipping agent, Cimsil A55 G fully develops its rheological properties by activation in the presence of cement or gypsum.

Cimsil A55 G gives mortar, plaster and concrete the following properties:

  • Avoids both tile slipping and mortar sagging
  • Thixotropy
  • Workability
  • Decreases bleed and segregation
  • Improves pumpability
  • Gives homogeneity and cohesiveness to the finish product
  • Improves the surface finish
  • Improves sedimentation and stability of inorganic salts used in the manufacture of admixtures
