Not used it myself but just looked at the spec sheet on the manufacturers website. Not surprisingly for a C2TE, it says that calcium sulphate substrates should be abraded, vacuumed and primed. It seems that its just another cement based addy so not sure where the "designed specifically for use on anhydrite screeds" bit comes from.

I picked a sample bag of this up from Sts a couple of weeks ago to use on a job. Seemed similar to Nicobond gypfix but a bit more pourable. Nice to work with and nice price too. Wouldn't hesitate to use it again.
