6,5-8,5 PurposeIt is used for the preparation of a liquid diluent of ceramic slips. For the manufacture of a complex liquid diluent, it is recommended to use PKB-41 deflocculant concentrate together with liquid glass, the silicate module of which should be within 2.0-3.2. The recommended ratio of PKB-41 to liquid glass is (7.5-30) : (70-92.5) accordingly. The complex liquid diluent is prepared by mixing liquid glass and PKB-41 with thorough mixing. The recommended dosage of the prepared complex diluent is 0.8–1.5%.StorageKeep in a tightly closed container at a temperature not lower than -5°C up to 1 year. In case of transportation and storage at negative temperatures, the deflocculating agent must be maintained before use until it reaches the temperature of the production room.PackingPlastic drum 20, 50, 100 kg,
