Abstract: A pulverulent and mineral oil-free composition which is present as binary system and contains as main constituents a) from 5 to 40% by weight of at least one fatty acid derivative and/or fatty alcohol derivative, b) from 0.5 to 10% by weight of at least one silicone oil and c) from 20 to 85% by weight of at least one support material, with the components a) and b) having been applied to the support material c), is proposed. Suitable components a) are, in particular, fatty alcohol alkoxylates comprising ethylene oxide units and propylene oxide units. Polydimethylsiloxanes are particularly suitable representatives of silicone oils b). The support material c) is selected from the group consisting of chalk, dolomite, shell limestone and silica. The composition has a bimodal particle size distribution in the range from 10 to 120 ?m. Such compositions are used, in particular, as antifoams for dry mortar applications.

Abstract: The subject of the present invention is a gypsum containing aqueous slurry containing a phosphate based polycondensate as sole agent with dispersing properties. With a phosphated polycondensate according to the invention as sole dispersing component an improved efficiency was found in comparison with the polycondensates known in the prior art. As additional favorable effect a significantly decreased retardation of the setting and hardening of the various construction compositions and especially of gypsum based slurries compared to other dispersants is to be observed, independently from the dosage of the dispersing component. This effect of the polycondensate component as well as an expedient influence on the pore structure surprisingly can be observed.
