High-performance grinding aid / Early and final strength enhancer
Cement Additives
Features
EKAN® GRIND 103 is a grinding aid specifically formulated to increase the early and final strengths of cement. It increases mill production (by 10% to 25%) depending on equipment efficiency and the characteristics of the material to be ground.
Reduces shrinkage (initial hardening) and grinding energy costs.
The risk of false set is reduced due to lower grinding temperatures.
Improves the physical properties of the ground material and increases bulk density.
Improves powder flow characteristics before, during, and after storage.
Compaction and pack-set tendencies are significantly reduced.
Cement particle size distribution is improved, resulting in more complete hydration.
Instructions for use
Areas of use
- All types of cement according to ENV 197-1, from Type I
- Production of rapid-hardening cement
Application
Dosage: 200 – 500 g per ton of cement (optimal dose: 300 g/ton). EKAN® GRIND 103 is a ready-to-use liquid additive. The optimal dosage must be defined through local testing based on clinker grindability and required performance. For further details, please contact EKAN technical sales personnel.
