Technology Cement Additives Sika Grinding Aids and Quality Improvers SikaGrind®-180 MY Sika Abyssinia

SikaGrind®-180 MY is a dispersant with the following characteristics:

• Neutralisation of electrical charges on the surface of the cement particles
• Separation of the cement particles

SikaGrind®-180 MY provides the following advantages in the cement production:

• Higher efficiency of the plants (tons per hour) due to reduced grinding time per ton

• Higher separator efficiency due to improved dispersion
• Faster achievement of the desired cement fineness
• Reduced particle fraction > 32µ of ground cement

SikaGrind®-180 MY gives the following advantages to the finished cement :

• Reduced handling costs especially on pneumatic conveying systems
• Reduced risk of hydration in the silo
• Easier discharge of the silos

• Usage

  SikaGrind®-180 MY is used in grinding of cement to:

  • Increase the production rate
  • Improve the efficiency of the mill and separator
  • Enhance the quality of the cement

  Advantages

  SikaGrind®-180 MY is a dispersant with the following characteristics:

  • Neutralisation of electrical charges on the surface of the cement particles
  • Separation of the cement particles

  SikaGrind®-180 MY provides the following advantages in the cement production:

  • Higher efficiency of the plants (tons per hour) due to reduced grinding time per ton

  • Higher separator efficiency due to improved dispersion
  • Faster achievement of the desired cement fineness
  • Reduced particle fraction > 32µ of ground cement
  • Reduced re-agglomeration of the cement particles
  • Less accumulation of material on grinding equipment (grinding balls and mill)
  • Cost savings due to a lower power consumption per ton
  • Easier handling and minimized problems with “plugging” due to improved flow characteristics
  • Improved self-levelling of the cement in the silo

  SikaGrind®-180 MY gives the following advantages to the finished cement :

  • Reduced handling costs especially on pneumatic conveying systems
  • Reduced risk of hydration in the silo
  • Easier discharge of the silos
  • Optimum cement granulometry (reduced quantity of “over-milled” particles)
  • Increased early strengths
  • Improved final strengths
  • Allows economic cement design with clinker replacements
  • Reduced water demand
  • Uniform air entrainment in the stated dosage range
  • Consistent setting times
  • Reduced brown or yellow discolorations
