6,5-8,5 PurposeIt is used to dilute glazes, slipwares, fluxes. Deflocculating agent Complex PKB-41 is recommended to be used both for the joint grinding of raw materials in a wet grinding mill in an amount of 0.4%–1.0%, and added to the prepared semi-finished product (glaze, slipware, flux) on the production line. It is necessary to mix the semi-finished product thoroughly for 15–30 minutes when Complex PKB-41 is being introduced into a spare bath.StorageKeep in a tightly closed container at a temperature of at least -5°C up to 1 year. In case of transportation and storage at negative temperatures, the deflocculant must be maintained before use until it reaches the temperature of the production room.PackingPlastic drum 20, 50, 100 kg,

Complex PKB-41
Liquid deflocculant based on sodium polyacrylate, designed to improve rheological properties of glazes, slipware and fluxes.
Complex PKB-41 is an aqueous sodium polyacrylate-based deflocculant used to regulate viscosity and improve dispersion in glaze, slipware and flux systems. It ensures homogeneous suspension, prevents sedimentation and stabilizes rheological behavior during production.
The product can be introduced during wet grinding together with raw materials or added directly to prepared glaze systems on the production line, providing flexibility in application.
