SDA® Mineral Slurry Thinners

Mineral Slurry Thinners

Product Description 

The SDA® range of slurry thinners is one of the proven product developments by GCP in the field of additives for cement raw materials and minerals. SDA® products are specially formulated by GCP and are supplied as liquids, ready for use.

Product Advantages

SDA® can provide either a viscosity reduction at constant slurry solids content or an increase in slurry solids while maintaining a constant viscosity.

SDA® provides significant cost savings by reducing the water content of the kiln feed by 5% to 10%. Clinker output of the kiln is typically increased by 3% to 6%. Where extensive slurry handling is involved, a reduction in pumping costs will be achieved.

Addition Rates

The dosage rate of SDA® products can vary from 0.005% to 0.4% by weight of slurry solids. The optimum dosage rate will depend on the fineness, chemistry and viscosity characteristics of each slurry.

Dosing Equipment

SDA® should be accurately dispensed through a calibrated dosing system. GCP can advise on suitable equipment for installation, covering manual, semi automatic and computerized systems.

Handling

SDA® should be added as received into the slurry mix water.
