Gypsum grinding aids are essential additives used in the construction industry, particularly in the production of plasterboard. These additives enhance the efficiency of the grinding process, leading to improved wetting and grinding efficiencies in ball-mill accelerator preparations. Among the notable additives in this realm is the Nansa® range, designed specifically for gypsum plasterboards.
The Nansa® range of additives is tailored to optimise wetting and grinding efficiencies, crucial in the preparation of ball-mill accelerators. By enhancing the wetting process, these additives facilitate smoother grinding operations, resulting in finer particles and improved overall product quality. This, in turn, translates to enhanced performance and productivity in plasterboard manufacturing.
Additives for gypsum grinding are available in powder form, offering different levels of activity. Those with an activity percentage of 80 are widely used in the industry, providing substantial improvements in grinding efficiency. These additives contribute to finer particle sizes and smoother grinding processes, ultimately enhancing the quality of plasterboard production.
Meanwhile, additives with an activity percentage of 85 represent a higher level of performance. They offer even greater efficiency in the grinding process, leading to finer particle sizes and smoother paste formation. This results in superior plasterboard quality and increased productivity for manufacturers.
Overall, gypsum grinding aids play a vital role in the construction industry by improving the efficiency of the grinding process and enhancing the quality of plasterboard production. The Nansa® range, in particular, stands out for its ability to optimise wetting and grinding efficiencies, contributing to smoother operations and superior product outcomes.

Despite numerous cleanings, the productivity of the Reverse Osmosis plant would not recover from severe membrane fouling. The membrane autopsy revealed that the ferric hydroxide was seeding
silica polymerization and that even while the ferric hydroxide was removed, the silica scaling was continuing to grow.
The plant was experiencing weekly shutdowns for fiber clean up (~ 3 kg bags of matted slurry is cleaned per week). The shut downs were costly as they reduce plant availability for production.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation, known as IMO 2020 was the the largest change in regulation relating to marine fuels impacting 75% of the fuel used by the shipping industry.

AWC A-110 effectively inhibited scale at a dosage of 3.5 ppm and an operating pH of 6.9. This increase in operating pH reduced the district’s annual acid consumption by ~$350K per year based on their current production.
Research indicates that Sea Buckthorn may be able to strengthen the immune system. One in vitro study focused on the possible immunomodulatory properties of Sea Buckthorn.
MCI® -2020 V/O and ChemMaster’s Colorsil were chosen to repair and protect the walls based on their 20 year warranties and the fact that together they could fulfill the other specified repair design requirements.
The East Hokkaido region is known to have the highest volume of potato product in Japan. Unfortunately, a potato farmer in the area was experiencing a high rate of potato scab infection in his agricultural field.
