Abstract:
Oil well cementing compositions and processes are produced using a high efficiency sulfoalkylated lignin retarder composition and modifications thereof to produce cement compositions without gelation problems, having high early strength and with precisely controllable setting time.
Abstract:
A light-weight simulated rock is made by molding a composition comprising cement, a light-weight filler, water, a curing agent for the cement and an acrylic resin latex in a flexible mold and thereafter nonuniformly coloring the hardened rock body so formed with cement dyes and/or pigments.
Abstract:
A hydraulic composition comrising 100 parts by weight of a hydraulic substance and as a water-reducing admixture 0.01-2.0 parts by weight of a water-soluble polymer, said polymer being selected from the group consisting of a specific water-soluble olefin-ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid salt copolymer and a specific derivative of said copolymer.
Abstract:
The invention refers to a process for the preparation of a hydrofobous building material containing a ballast material and a binder added or formed in connection with the manufacture. At least part of the ballast material is or is made water-repellant and is admixed with the rest of the ingredients of the building material, the amount of water-repellant ballast material and the grain size thereof being adapted so that the water-repellant characteristics of the building material is brought to an acceptable level while maintaining a sufficient wet vapor diffusion ability.
Abstract:
A formable matrix used as structural material and having an admixture of reinforcing non-metallic fibers to control deterioration and improve flexural strength. The fibers are fabricated with a cross section which provides a maximum ratio of surface to cross-sectional areas and increased frictional forces between fiber and matrix when the fiber is stressed. The disclosed embodiment of the fibers has a cross-sectional shape with a plurality of arms extending radially from the center, preferably with lobes formed at their outer ends.
Abstract:
An early strength hydraulic cement comprising 7 to 90 per cent C.sub.12 A.sub.7 formed in an underlimed clinker burned to a low free lime, the underlimed condition being at least counterbalanced in the cement by a substance effective to raise the basicity.
Abstract:
A cement fluid-loss composition and its use in a well cementing process are disclosed. The cement fluid loss composition comprises an aqueous slurry of about 35 to about 90 weight percent of water based on weight percent of dry cement; and about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent of a terpolymer based on weight percent of dry cement, said terpolymer having the formula: ##STR1## wherein x is about 40 to about 98 mole %, more preferably about 50 to about 95 mole %, and most preferably about 80 to about 90, y is about 1 to about 50 mole %, more preferably about 2 to about 20 mole %, and most preferably about 5 to about 10 mole %, and z is about 1 to about 50 mole %, more preferably about 2 to about 20, and most preferably about 5 to about 10, y is equal to z, B is about 1 to about 50 mole %, more preferably about 2 to about 20 mole %, and most preferably about 5 to about 10 mole %, wherein B, y and z are less than 60 mole %.
Abstract:
When a cement-based mixture such as cement paste, mortar and concrete is admixed with the inventive cement additive composition, the cement-based mixture is imparted with lastingly improved flowability and hence workability. The cement additive composition of the invention comprises (a) 100 parts by weight of a saponified product of (a half ester of) a copolymer of styrene and maleic acid and (b) from 5 to 900 parts by weight of a flowability improving agent such as a salt of a condensation product of naphthalene sulfonic acid with formaldehyde, salt of a condensation product of an alkylnaphthalene sulfonic acid with formaldehyde, salt of a condensation product of a sulfonated creosote oil with formaldehyde and the like.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for rapidly forming a solid monolith of an aqueous mixture of an ion exchange resin and boric acid. A fouling agent and sufficient basic accelerator to neutralize the mixture are added. Cement is then added which hardens in a few hours. Also disclosed is a composition of the ion exchange resin, boric acid, water, a fouling agent, a basic accelerator, and cement.
Abstract:
This invention provides plasticizer additive compositions, for use in cementiferous compositions, which enhance the early gain of compressive strength. The plasticizer additive compositions comprise an aqueous solution of a copolymer or salt thereof, comprising an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a hydroxyl functional group and an accelerator additive.
