CEMENT GRINDING AID

EUCEM CGA 5-2 is a blend of glycols which has been proven to be a cost effective additive for the grinding of Portland cement. Depending on cement and plant characteristics, EUCEM CGA 5-2 is also effective in improving cement flow characteristics and preventing pack set. Field experience indicates that a blend of glycols can give equal or better performance compared to technical grade diethylene glycol.

Features & Benefits

• Mill production is increased up to 15% depending on the efficiency of the equipment and the characteristics of the material to be ground.
• Grinding energy requirements and therefore grinding costs are reduced.
• The particle size distribution of the ground cement is improved, resulting in a more thorough hydration.
• Improved performance in both closed and open circuit systems at equal specific surface area or equal sieve residues.
• The mechanical strengths of cements are maintained or increased at all ages.
• Bulk density is increased.
• Powder flow characteristics are improved before, during and after storage.
• Pack set tendencies and coating are reduced.
• The risk of false set is reduced due to the lower grinding temperatures.
