Batimix CR 4537

Description

BATIMIX CR 4537 is a product of the new generation of hexavalent chromium reducing agents. It is used in the manufacture of Portland and masonry types of cement. This minimizes the level of hexavalent chromium to less than 2 ppm during a minimum period of 3 months without affecting the rheological or mechanical performance of mortars and concrete.

Main Purpose

BATIMIX CR 4537 is particularly recommended for the grinding of:

• Masonry and mortar cement
• Portland and blended cement
• White or gray cement

Features

BATIMIX CR 4537 helps achieve the following performances:

• Reduced level of chromium (VI) content below 2 ppm, so that the cement produced meets the requirements of the European directive 2003/53/CE
• Cement treated with this product maintains the level of chromium (VI) below 2 ppm for a minimum period of 3 months
• Minimized risks of allergic dermatitis when peoples’ skin comes in contact with wet cement
• Does not affect the rheological or mechanical performance of cement
• Can be supplied in powder form
• Easy and safe handling

Health and Safety

BATIMIX CR 4537 may be irritant to the skin and eyes. If accidentally spilled onto the skin, wash immediately with soap and water.

Directions for Use

BATIMIX CR 4537 is normally proportioned as received. Depending on the mill and operating conditions, it is recommended that industrial tests be conducted on site to determine the optimal dosage rate. In some cases, the product may be diluted with 10% to 50% water to facilitate greater proportioning accuracy and better additive distribution. Kindly consult your HOLDERCHEM representative to determine the appropriate dilution rate.

BATIMIX CR 4537 is introduced into the first or second compartment of the grinding mill to maximize dispersion and product efficiency. It can also be sprinkled onto the dry clinker on the feeding conveyor belt. Suitable dosage pumps with adjustable flow rates are recommended for accurate dosing.
