Application

Targon G2 is a secondary retarder which works in combination with citric or tartaric acid depending on the pH of the formulation:

 
     
  • pH value alkaline: Targon G2 and tartaric acid
  •  
  • pH value neutral: Targon G2 and citric acid
  •  
 

Targon G2 has the following advantages:

 
     
  • dispersing effect on the solid content of the plaster
  •  
  • achieves constant setting
  •  
  • prolongs the working time
  •  
  • improves the finishing treating qualities
