SikaGrind®-108 BP

Strength enhancing grinding aid for the production of cement

SikaGrind®-108 BP is a liquid cement grinding aid with performance enhancing properties.
SikaGrind®-108 BP has been specifically designed to increase the output of cement grinding plants and obtain improved early strength development for cements.

SikaGrind®-108 BP is a dispersant with the following characteristics:
  • Neutralisation of electrical charges on the surface of the cement particles;
  • Separation of the cement particles.
SikaGrind®-108 BP provides the following advantages in the cement production:
  • Enhanced grinding properties of the cement mill due to less accumulation of material on grinding balls and mill-liners.
 
  • Higher separator efficiency due to improved cement particle dispersion;
  • Reduced relative power consumption per ton of cement due to increased output of the grinding system (tons per hour);
  • Easier achievement of the desired cement fineness (Blaine, particle fraction > 32μm, granulometry) due to reduced re-agglomeration of the sufficiently ground cement particles;
  • Minimized problems with “plugging” due to improved powder flow characteristics.
SikaGrind®-108 BP gives the following advantages to the finished cement:
  • Reduced quantity of “over-milled” particles in the cement granulometry;
  • Easier discharge of the silos;
  • Increased early strengths after 1, 2 and 7 days;
  • Economic cement design with clinker replacements;
  • Reduced water demand.
