What is the application of polycarboxylate water reducer in Dry-mixed Gypsum plaster？ Can enhance the intensity?

 

[Alex]

Recommend using melamine. Polycarboxylic acid has great fluidity! Add a water-reducing agent to reduce gypsum's water demand and improve gypsum's final strength.

Reducing water consumption will improve the strength, but it will also affect the anti-sagging effect, which is generally unnecessary.

It is challenging to control Gypsum plaster with a polycarboxylate superplasticizer. I could add some F10.

What is F10?

MELMENT® F10 is a melamine-type sulfonated polycondensate powder produced by spray drying. It has excellent fluidity and workability and is especially suitable for plasticization and water reduction of cement-based and gypsum-based dry-mixed powder products. In addition, F10 can reduce mixing water consumption and improve strength.
