AGITAN® P 841 is recommended for application in dry blends which are dissolved in water before application. The addition of AGITAN® P 841 results in low foaming solutions, specifically aqueous pastes or masses with very low air content. In some mortar systems AGITAN® P 841 shows a plastisizing effect, meaning the spreading value is increased. This is ideal for jointless flooring compounds. In some systems setting time is prolonged but curing time is not influenced.
