Comparative cement paste
deflocculant studies show (Hommer, Wutz 2005), that suspension without
deflocculant hy-dration induction period lasts about 30 minutes (later to begin a massive hydrate deposition), and the suspensions
deflocculant induction period lasts about 2-3 hours, depending on the side chain length.

Sodium pyrophosphate (Penta a.s., Czech Republic) was used as a
deflocculant for the sedimentation, laser diffraction, and rheological measurements.
The water contained poly(ammonium methacrylate), an electrosteric
deflocculant that prevented the powder from aggregation.
Casting slips are a world unto themselves and are much more sensitive to the exact ratios of water, clay, filler, flux and
deflocculant.
Further, it is used as a
deflocculant with the addition of sodium silicate in the preparation of slip casting.
Excellent
deflocculant in Low Solids Non-Dispersed Muds or Inhibitive Lime Muds; improves fluid loss control by improving clay platelet orientation.

Deflocculants for Castables, in the 9th Biennial Worldwide Congress on Refractories.
Zeta potential instruments provide better knowledge of the interparticle forces in the colloid, allowing product developers to alter pH, add
deflocculants or otherwise fine-tune their products for better stability.
