Gypsum Retarder

It regulates and delays the setting time of products based on gypsum, such as board compounds and gypsum plaster. This allows us more time to work with the material and lowers the possibility of premature setting, which could result in imperfections or uneven surfaces.

Self-Leveling Compounds (Gypsum based)

Plaster and Render(Gypsum based)

Gypsum retarders are frequently incorporated into plaster to regulate its setting time—a parameter that can be tailored according to specific environmental conditions. Beyond controlling setting speed, these retarders also help reduce the risk of cracking, which typically arises when plaster dries too quickly. Additionally, they play a role in enhancing the adhesion of the plaster to its underlying substrate, ensuring a more secure bond.
