Plasticizer
A plasticizer ( UK: plasticiser) is a substance that is added to a material to make it softer and more flexible, to increase its plasticity, to decrease its viscosity, and/or to decrease friction during its handling in manufacture.

Impact of Plasticizers on Technological Properties of Gypsum
Traditionally superplasticizers are used from 0.2-1% from the weight of gypsum and the most common plasticizers used are naphthalene, melamine, polycarboxylate and citric acid which may act both
Agricultural Gypsum Products For Soil & Farming | USG
USG Corporation has a range of agricultural gypsum powders for use as soil conditioners and fertilizer. Our selection of gypsum for soil can improve the earth’s quality and introduce nutrients to help crops thrive. Our agriculture-grade gypsum is useful not only for growers, but for architects, builders, and construction managers as well
- Are Polycarboxylate ethers suitable for gypsum?
- Following their adoption in cementitious systems, superplasticizers based on polycarboxylate ethers are now increasingly being selected for gypsum applications. Binder-specific additive optimisation produces plasticizers with an enhanced water-reduction capability and simultaneously reduced setting times.
- Which gypsum binders are suitable for Sika® ViscoCrete® G2?
- Sika® ViscoCrete® G-2 is formulated for applications in systems with high calcium sulfate content or pure gypsum binders. The product is especially suitable for the manufacture of gypsum products like: Sika® ViscoCrete® works based on a combination of electrostatic forces and steric repulsion effects.
- Do PCE based plasticizers reduce water-reduction efficiency in pure gypsum?
- The structure of PCE-based plasticizers was therefore modified in order that these products would exhibit their greatest water-reduction efficiency in pure gypsum phases, such as alpha- and beta-hemihydrate or anhydrite. Heterogeneous...
- Can Sika® ViscoCrete® g2 be combined with other gypsum additives?
- Sika® ViscoCrete® G-2 may be combined with many other Sika products as well as with most commonly used gypsum additives, like foaming agents, accelerators and retarders. In combination i.e. with Retardan (R) improvements in flowability and setting-time adjustment may be achieved.
