Ah, own work. I had missed that context, so you are right.My statement quoted by you referred to the circumstance and later also in the thread basis that builders plaster and paint their walls themselves.
Indeed, there is a product called Mebofix. How exactly it works is not revealed. But on the web, Lanxess provides quite informative information about factors influencing drying (h t t p : / / Anhydrit.de/de/Service-Center/faq/konventioneller-calciumsulfatestrich/). The additive probably improves the pore structure (pure speculation on my part). Obviously it’s chemistry, but IMHO no witchcraft, nor a disadvantage. On the contrary: those who build faster build cheaper. I think the bigger lever for drying (of screed) lies in the proper combination of heating and ventilation.Drying times of screed can indeed be accelerated using chemicals (e.g. from Lanxess®; but please don’t ask me for the name, I would have to admit ignorance)
(Now I first have to find out whether our developer wants to use flowing screed or conventional ... Especially since I have just gotten to know the breakdown in another thread ...)
