EDE 164 is an admixture specifically formulated to improve the grinding of minerals. EDE164is particularly recommended for grinding cements. EDE 164 can reduce water demand for cement and concrete production, and give increased early age mechanical strengths of the cement.
• Increased mill production (10% to 25%) depending on the efficiency of the equipment and the characteristics of the material to be ground.
• Reduced grinding energy costs.
• Improved physical properties of the ground material.
• Improved performance in both closed and open circuit systems at equal specific surface area or equal sieve residues.
• The mechanical strengths of cements are maintained or increased at later ages.
• Bulk density is increased.
• Powder flow characteristics are improved before, during and after storage.
• Pack set tendencies and coating are substantially reduced.
• The risk of false set is reduced due to the lower grinding temperatures.
• Cement particle size distribution is improved resulting in more thorough hydration.
• Reduces plastic shrinkage (initial set).

Directions for use
Dosage: The dosage range is from 0.2kg to 0.6kg/ metric tone of material to be ground. Industrial trials are required to determine the optimum dosage.
Procedure: Liquid admixture ready-to-use. A dosing pump is required to introduce the correct dosage into the mill.
EDE 164 may be introduced directly into the mill or onto the feed conveyor belt.
Our technicians are ready to provide advice and assistance in the use of EDE 164.
Procedure: If EDE 164 comes into contact with skin, flush with water immediately.
Fire: EDE 164 is non flammable.
Cleaning: Spillage of EDE 164 can be removed with water (refer to Safety Data Sheet).
Overdose: Dosages in excess of 3kg/ metric tone are to be avoided.
