SikaGrind® T-1820

Efficient grinding aid and quality improver for the production of cement

SikaGrind® T1820 is a chloride free liquid cement additive to allow easier grinding of cement and enhance the quality of all types of cement.
SikaGrind® T1820 has been specifically developed to obtain cements with increased early and final strengths. SikaGrind® T1820 is powered by Sika® ViscoCrete® to optimize the efficiency of modern separators and cement mills.

SikaGrind® T1820 is a very effective dispersant with the following characteristics:
  • Neutralisation of electrical charges on the surface of the cement particles
  • Separation of the cement particles
SikaGrind® T1820 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 the 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® T1820 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
