Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for hydrophobization of concrete or mortar using an alkylketene dimer dispersion and to the concrete or mortar obtainable by the process of the invention. The process allows to achieve effective mass and surface hydrophobization of concrete.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition comprising 5-50 wt % of calcium silicate hydrate, 10-60 wt % of at least one water-soluble, acid group-containing polymer comprising polyether groups, and 5-40 wt % of at least one polyalkylene glycol ether. Further disclosed is a process for preparing this composition, and cementitious mixtures comprising the composition. A further aspect of the present invention is the use of the composition of the invention in cementitious mixtures for accelerating the development over time of the dispersing action of the acid group-containing polymer after addition of the mixing water and a subsequently accelerated curing of the mixture.
Abstract:
Method for making light-weight gypsum board with enhanced compressive strength by addition of dispersants. Wallboards made by use of a gypsum-based composition comprising a ketone resin as dispersant and a foaming agent.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising (α) at least one inorganic binder and (β) at least one water-soluble copolymer based on (a) 0.1 to 20 wt % of at least one monomer of the formula (I) and (b) 25 to 99.9 wt % of at least one hydrophilic monomer (b) which is different from monomer (a), where the at least one copolymer has a molar mass average M of 1 500 000 to 30 000 000 g/mol. Furthermore, a process for producing this composition is disclosed. A further aspect of the present invention is the use of the copolymer of component (β) as rheological additive in a composition of the invention.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an additive which can be used as a hardening accelerator for hydraulically setting compositions, comprising a) at least one polymeric dispersant comprising structural units having anionic or anionogenic groups and structural units having polyether side chains, b) at least one sulfonic acid compound of the formula (I) in which A1 is NH2, NHMe, NMe2, N(CH2—CH2—OH)2, CH3, C2H5, CH2—CH2—OH, phenyl, or p-CH3-phenyl and Kn+ is an alkali metal cation, or one equivalent of a cation selected from Ca2+, Mg2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Al3+, Mn2+, or Cu2+, and c) calcium silicate hydrate particles.
