PANGEL CS 610 is a pozzolanic additive based on colloidal silica with very fine (7 nanometers) and narrow particle size distribution. Its rapid surface penetration leads to very fast bonding with calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] which provides an outstanding densifier/hardener effect. PROPERTIES • PANGEL CS 610 reacts with calcium hydroxide in the concrete matrix to create additional calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H). • PANGEL CS 610 provides a harder and more uniform surface making it withstand abrasion and take a better polish effect. • Due to its unique structure, PANGEL CS 610 works as densifier/ hardener in concrete flooring applications providing better overall mechanical performance (surface hardness, compressive strength, permeability and abrasion resistance ) thus replacing other silicate densifiers. PANGEL CS610 provides tangible benefits and savings vs. other silicate based (i.e. sodium, potassium, lithium) densifiers: • Reduces operating costs by increased ease of maintenance and cleaning • Speed of application; no overnight curing • Deeper penetration • Faster reacting • Safe to handle liquid – lower pH than silicates • Reduces dusting, efflorescence and ASR • Compatible with colored concrete, stains and dyes • No whitening potential; no caustic gel to scrub off • Non-hazardous. Water-based, low odor

Pangel B-42 is a powdered additive with a high thickening and anti-settling capacity for high polarity systems, particularly recommended for systems based on alcohol, glycol an ketone type solvents, as well as in mixtures of those with water. Pangel B-42 is particularly recommended to provide thixotropic, suspension and sagging-resistance properties to systems based on alcohol, glycol an ketone type solvents, as well as in mixtures of those with water. Pangel B-42 provides a strongly pseudoplastic character, producing high consistency levels without affecting viscosity during application. It exhibits its high effectiveness as anti-settling additive in formulations with high solid contents. Use of Pangel B-42 has the following advantages against other conventional additives: • Coatings and paints- Prevents settling of pigments and fillers; controls sagging without aggravating leveling; high stability during transportation and storage. • Printing inks: Improves consistency and prevents settling of pigments. • Paint strippers: Improves stability and facilitates stripping action. • Sealants and joints: Improves wetting and suspension properties; controls sliding. • Others: Control of sagging and dripping; improves stability.
