- Applications
- DeCAL 2096 has applications in mortars, concretes, self-leveling systems, adhesives and grouts.
- DeCAL 2096 has a very high deflocculation effect which allows it to maintain the dispersed state for longer periods as compared to conventional plasticisers.
- Application Method
DeCAL 2096 should be added directly to dry mix at the early stages of batch preparation. Activation in the wet state is rapid and a minimal wet mixing time of 2 - 3 minutes is recommended. Typical dosage rates are in the order of 0.1% - 0.3% of the dry powder weight.
