BOTAI Supply ATA-100 Alkali-depressant Powder for Cement, Gypsum and Lime Mortars

ATA-100 Alkali-Depressant Powder is a highly active efflorescence-inhibiting additive specially designed for cement-, gypsum-, and lime-based mortars. It contains reactive alkali-neutralizing components that effectively suppress both primary and secondary efflorescence, ensuring long-term surface aesthetics and color stability.

The product functions by consuming free alkali ions, reducing water-cement ratio, and enhancing mortar compactness, which together minimize alkali migration and crystal precipitation. ATA-100 exhibits excellent compatibility with other dry-mix additives, including cellulose ethers, RDPs, superplasticizers, retarders, and early-strength agents.
Neutralizes alkalis and prevents efflorescence in cementitious materials
