DeCAL 2098 is an anionic superplasticizer that has been modified with polyacrylate to achieve maximum efficiency. It is highly suitable for use in mortars, concretes, self-leveling systems, adhesives, and grouts. Compared to conventional plasticizers, DeCAL 2098 has a significantly higher deflocculation effect, which allows it to maintain the dispersed state for longer periods.

Applications
  • DeCAL 2098 has applications in mortars, concretes, self-leveling systems, adhesives and grouts.
  • DeCAL 2098 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 2098 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.
