Advantages
- Contains no chrome yet is superior to commonly used thinners containing chrome
- Maximum deflocculation and shear strength reduction at low concentrations
- Excellent performance at low concentrations
- Superior performance, tolerating salt and gypsum contamination
- Soluble in systems of high salinity, high hardness, and at any pH
- Approximately 4 to 8 times more effective than chrome lignosulfonates, depending on conditions
- Scavenges oxygen and inhibits corrosion
- High-temperature rheology control - proven effective in excess of 400 ºF (204 ºC)
- Solution pH is approximately 8.5. No Caustic addition is required to activate the product. Works equally well in low-pH and high-pH systems
