IBC tank — 1000–1200 kg. - A mixture of water-soluble polymers designed to increase the mechanical strength of pressed ceramic tiles after drying. The Hardener 29 burns out completely during the firing of the tile (at the specified dosages), and does not create volumetric pores and defects of the “black core” type in the tile.

The recommended amount of additive for inception into the slip: 0.4–1.0% by weight. The Hardener 29 is introduced at the stage of draining the slip from the mill, or into the storage tank of the slip, while it is necessary to mix the slip with the additive for at least 3 hours before drying in the atomizer. During the drying process of the pressed tiles, the maximum temperature should be at least 110°C.StorageKeep in a tightly closed container at a temperature not lower than -5°C for up to 6 months. In case of transportation and storage at negative temperatures, the deflocculating agent must be maintained before use until it reaches the temperature of the production room.PackingPlastic drum 20, 50, 100 kg,

The Hardener 2112II is introduced together with raw materials into a wet grinding mill, or during clay dissolving. It is also allowed to add it to the storage tank of the slip, while it is necessary to mix the slip with the additive for at least 3 hours before drying in an atomizer. During the drying process of the pressed tiles, the maximum temperature should be at least 110 °C.StorageKeep in a dry enclosed space up to 1 year.Packing25 kg polypropylene bags with a polyethylene liner.
