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.
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.
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.
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.
SDA® should be added as received into the slurry mix water.
To assist you in obtaining optimum performance from your GCP Cement Additive, we offer advice and assistance by trained personnel, experienced in additive technology and the facilities of our fully equipped laboratories.
SDA® products are non-flamable. A SDS (Safety Data Sheet) is available on request.
SDA® products can be supplied in 205 litre drums, 1000 litre bulk boxes and in bulk tankers.
The shelf life of SDA® products is a minimum of 6 months in original containers.
