Starvis® 3040 F is a stabilizer in powder form based on water-soluble high molecular weight polymers that prevents bleeding and segregation of mineral particles and aggregates.

Starvis 3040 F is a high-performance viscosity-enhancing agent is a stabilizer for SLUs and flowing floor screeds with coarse particles and medium to high layer thickness, providing strong shear thinning rheology which reduces pumping pressure.

It is suitable for stabilization of very fluid cement and calcium sulphate-based mixtures. (A high concentration version for higher rate applications, Starvis 3090, is available – ask us for details).

Applications

• Calcium sulphate-based flowing floor screeds
• Cementitious flowing floor screeds
• Cementitious self-leveling underlayments (SLUs)
• Calcium sulphate hemihydrates based self-leveling underlayments (SLUs)
• Cementitious self-leveling decorative overlayments (SLOs)
• Cementitious self-leveling industrial floors
• Non-shrink grouts (machinery grouts)
• Cementitious injection mortars

Thick layer SLU or flowing floor screed stabilized with Starvis 3040 F. Efficient stabilization of coarse sand particles due to intermolecular interaction of Starvis molecules.

Features & Benefits

• High viscosity at low shear rates and fast restructuring after shear
• Excellent stabilization of fine and coarse filler particles after placement
• High shear thinning
• Easy mixing and pumping
• Fast Flow speed
• Allows good flow and leveling
