Gypsum Retarder for Gypsum Plaster
Tenessy Gypsum Retarder for Gypsum Plaster
Gypsum Retarder is a high-performance additive specially designed to control the setting time of gypsum-based materials, including gypsum plaster, gypsum board, and gypsum-based cement. By slowing down the hydration process of gypsum, it ensures smoother application, consistent workability, and improved finishing quality.
In gypsum plaster applications, a proper setting time is crucial for achieving a fine, even surface. Tenessy Gypsum Retarder provides the ideal balance—delaying the setting just enough to allow for easy mixing and spreading, without compromising strength or final hardness.
How Does Gypsum Retarder Work in Gypsum Plaster?
Gypsum Retarder works by interacting with the calcium sulfate hemihydrate during the hydration process,
temporarily slowing the formation of dihydrate crystals. This controlled delay allows applicators more time for:
- Mixing and leveling the plaster evenly across surfaces.
- Adjusting and reshaping without premature stiffening.
- Reducing waste caused by early setting or false hardening.
By providing a stable and predictable setting time, the retarder helps achieve smoother surfaces,
better adhesion, and higher product consistency.
Benefits of Using HPS in Gypsum Plaster
- Controlled Setting Time – Provides optimal working time for plastering, molding, or prefabrication.
- Improved Workability – Makes gypsum easier to spread and finish without surface cracks or lumps.
- Consistent Performance – Works reliably with different types of gypsum and regional material variations.
- Enhanced Surface Quality – Ensures a uniform texture and smooth finish, ideal for painting or coating.
- High Compatibility – Blends easily with gypsum and other additives without affecting overall strength.
- Stable Production Process – Helps manufacturers maintain consistent quality across batches.
Gypsum Retarder Usage Instructions
- Add and Mix Evenly
Mix the recommended amount of gypsum retarder evenly with gypsum powder,
or dissolve it in water before adding the gypsum. - Adjust Based on Material
Because gypsum quality and reactivity vary by source, conduct a small trial
to determine the optimal dosage for your formulation. - Custom Formulation Available
Tenessy offers customized retarder grades tailored to your local gypsum material
to achieve the most effective setting control and performance.
