    Lohtragon® B61 in Retarder for Gypsum

    Lohtragon® B61, based on Potassium Sodium Tartrate 4-hydrate, is an effective set retarder for gypsum and cement-based formulations. It enables precise control over setting time, improving workability, handling, and surface finish without compromising mechanical strength or durability.
    Unlike conventional retarders, Lohtragon® B61 offers a predictable setting profile—ideal for large-scale projects or detailed applications such as precast elements and decorative plasterwork. It reduces waste and errors by allowing sufficient time for mixing and placement, even under varying environmental conditions.
    Compatible with a wide range of systems, it integrates easily into formulations. Supplied as a high-purity, crystalline material, it ensures consistent dosing, stable performance, and excellent shelf life.

    Key benefits of Potassium Sodium Tartrate 4-hydrate in Construction Applications:

    • Provides precise control over setting time
      • Delays the hydration process predictably, enabling better workability, longer processing windows, and high-quality surface finishes.
    • Maintains mechanical strength and long-term durability
      • Offers extended working time without compromising the final performance of gypsum or cement-based materials.
    • Versatile and compatible with various systems
      • Integrates smoothly into a wide range of formulations, from decorative plaster to industrial precast components, ensuring consistent performance across diverse applications.
