TARGON® G3 functions as a secondary retarder, operating in conjunction with citric or tartaric acid based on the formulation's pH. For formulations exhibiting an alkaline pH, G3 collaborates with tartaric acid. In formulations with a neutral pH, G3 partners with citric acid. TARGON® G3 contributes to the attainment of consistent setting, an extended working duration, and enhanced qualities during the finishing treatment phase.

End Uses: Cement, Plaster

Features: Excellent Dispersibility, Excellent Flowability, Improved Workability

Application

Targon G3 is a secondary retarder which works in combination with citric or tartaric acid depending on the pH of the formulation:
  pH value alkaline: Targon G3 and tartaric acid
  pH value neutral: Targon G3 and citric acid
  Targon G3 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
  •  
  • free flowing powder, even at high humidity
