The article presents the results of pilot tests at four cement plants of PENTACEM grinding intensifiers of series produced by OOO Italkem, a daughter company of the Italian PENTACHEM s. r. l. It was shown that these additives can significantly reduce cement water gain, as well as increase its activity levels, mills performance, cement flowability and reduce specific power consumption during grinding.
