- Applications
DeCAL GF has applications in gypsum based mortars, bonding compounds, dry wall, adhesives and grouts. DeCAL GF provides high water reduction in gypsum slurries whilst maintaining a rapid forming homogenous dispersion of the gypsum slurry and additives. A slurry containing DeCAL GF, retarders and accelerators will generate the ideal setting curve. In a very short time the required strength can be achieved as well as adhesion of the cardboard layers to the gypsum core via the formation of the crystalline structure.
- Key Benefits
Reduced mixing time; Formaldehyde-free; Extremely efficient; High water reduction; Strong fluidising effect at very low dosages; Compatibility with other additives; Available as powder; DeCAL GF allows formulators to reduce the previously used fluidiser dosage or observe a significant reduction in the mixing water, while maintaining the flow properties.
