摘要:
The present invention relates to an admixture for a cementitious composition and a method using said admixture for manufacturing a durable cementitious composition, in particular a concrete, in cold weather conditions, such as in winter time or in cold geographical areas.
摘要:
The invention relates to the use of calcium nitrate to reduce the pore size distribution of a hardened cementitious composition, preferably, a hardened concrete composition, wherein the cementitious (concrete) composition comprises between 1 weight % to 4 weight % of calcium nitrate of the cement content of the cementitious composition, depending on the type of cement. This results in a reduced permeability for the set cementitious (concrete) composition for carbon dioxide (CO2) and thus an elevated resistance towards carbonation. The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing such a hardened cementitious (concrete) composition and a pourable and curable (wet) concrete composition. The invention also relates to a steel reinforced concrete solid having an elevated resistance towards carbonation and a method for producing a steel reinforced concrete solid having an elevated resistance towards carbonation.
摘要:
The application relates to the use of a powder comprising calcium nitrate as a setting accelerator for a tile adhesive blend, wherein nitrate powder comprising calcium nitrate, and optionally also comprising a nitrate salt different than the calcium nitrate, specifically potassium or ammonium nitrate, and having a particle size of between 0.01 mm and 1 mm is used as the setting accelerator. The application furthermore relates to a process for producing such a setting accelerator comprising, in one possible embodiment, the step of cutting or grinding prills and/or granules comprising the calcium nitrate and optionally the different nitrate salt, and in another embodiment, a spray drying process, resulting into the setting accelerator. The application also relates to a tile adhesive blend comprising at least a cement, sand and a such setting accelerator.

The present application relates to a setting and hardening accelerator for a cement, mortar or concrete composition, optionally comprising cement replacement materials (CSMs). The accelerator composition comprises an aqueous nitrate solution and an alkaline hydroxide. Particularly, the aqueous accelerator composition comprises between 30 and 55 w/w % of a nitrate salt as a nitrate solution and between 0.02 and 0.1 w/w % of an alkaline hydroxide, which is dissolved in the nitrate solution and, optionally, as a hydroxide precipitate in the accelerator composition, wherein the accelerator composition has a pH of at least 9.0. In case the cement, mortar or concrete composition comprises CSMs, the accelerator composition has a pH of at least 12.0. The application furthermore relates to the use of the accelerator composition according to the present application and to a method for accelerating a cement, mortar or concrete composition by reacting the composition with the accelerator according to the application, in particular at cold temperatures.
