🧐 What is the Mechanism of Action of Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Powder (PCE)❓ During the mixing process of cement with water, a flocculated structure forms, which hinders cement hydration and reduces the workability of freshly mixed concrete. ❗ While an appropriate amount of water is required during mixing, adding too much water creates excessive porosity in the cement paste structure, leading to a decrease in performance. The addition of a Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Powder (PCE) helps to release the excess water, allowing for a reduction in the amount of mixing water without compromising the physical properties of the mortar. ✔️ By incorporating a water reducer, the flowability can be increased while maintaining the same water-to-cement ratio. 👉 Choose high-quality, professional water reducers for your mortar mixing needs.

Hydrated cement Based on the information provided, the two distinctive phases in hydrated cement paste are: Solid Phases: The solid phases make up 50-60% of the volume of the hydrated cement paste. They have a structure of disordered thin layers with a very high specific surface area, around 3,000,000 cm^2/g. Pores (at least partially filled with water): The space between the layers of the solid phases is called gel pores, with a size ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 nm. The strength of the hardened cement paste is attributed to the attractive forces between the calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) crystals over their enormous surface area. In summary, the hydrated cement paste consists of a solid phase with a high specific surface area and a porous structure filled with water, and the strength of the material is derived from the attractive forces between the CSH crystals. #highperformance #highquality #decarbonization #sustainability #durablity #cement

📍Given the fact that most PVC cements these days are clear - but primer purple, would it work to mix these 2 & apply together, so that 1 could actually see where they put this cement-glue?

In the 60's it was researched and proposed by the Swedish company Glenjesberg. The method of cold-setting #pellets/ #briquettes using Portland #cement as #binder. Cold consolidation #pellet method with Portland cement as #binder. The amount of binder is 8-12%. 2/3 of Portland cement is lime, the rest is SiO2, Al2O3 and Fe2O3, and self-fusing #pellets can be obtained when the content of SiO2 in the concentrate used does not exceed 4%. Using Portland cement can help briquettes to curing faster,which can help #briquettes to curing when you have no drying equipment and no strict requirement on ash content.

Cementitious materials, such as Portland cement, undergo a direct reaction with water. This chemical reaction is called hydration. During hydration, the cement and water chemically combine to form calcium-silicate-hydrate, commonly abbreviated as C-S-H. This compound is critical because it forms the primary binder that gives concrete its strength and durability. Pozzolanic materials, including substances like fly ash or silica fume, lack inherent cementitious qualities and do not react independently with water. However, these materials can undergo a secondary reaction when exposed to C-S-H. This process, called the pozzolanic reaction, enables pozzolans to gain cementitious properties. Furthermore, by reacting with excess calcium hydroxide produced during hydration, pozzolanic materials contribute additional strength and durability, enhancing the overall performance and longevity of the concrete.

#cement #clinker The changing process of cement clinker burning 一. Drying and dehydration 1. Drying of kiln materials When the temperature rises to 100-150℃, all free water in the raw material is removed, especially in wet production, the water content in the slurry is 32-40%, this process is more important. In dry production, the moisture content of raw materials generally does not exceed 1.0%. 2. Dehydration When the temperature of the kiln materials rises to 450℃, kaolin (Al2O3·2SiO2·2H2O), the main component of clay, undergoes a dehydration reaction to remove the chemically bound water. This process is an endothermic process. Al2O3·2SiO2·2H2O== Al2O3(amorphous)+2SiO2(amorphous)+2H2O After dehydration, it becomes amorphous aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide, and these amorphous substances have high activity.

#Optimum_Sulfate The Sulfate content and sources in cement have great impact on properties of paste and mortar. These parameters influence the cement hydration, Setting time, Workability, Rheology, Mechanical strength and Durability of cement mortar and concrete. To achieve the highest compressive strength, you need to find the optimum SO3 (or gypsum) content in your cement products. Many factors affect the optimal percentage of sulfate, including: * Percentage of main clinker phases (C3S, C3A, C2S, C4AF) and their polymorphisms * Content of SO3 and minor elements of clinker, especially Na2O and K2O * Fineness and size distribution of cement particles * Type and content of supplementary cementitious materials * Type of cement mill and operational parameters, especially temperature * Admixtures and grinding aids 👌 ASTM C 563 standard addresses the issue of optimum SO3 content in cement using compressive strength. #Optimum_SO3 #cement_hydration, #Setting_time, #Rheology, #Mechanical_strength #Durability_of_mortar_and_concrete.

The de-shuttering time for formwork as per Amendment No. 5 to IS 456:2000 varies depending on whether Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) or a mix using mineral admixtures (such as fly ash, GGBS, silica fume, etc.) is used. Below are the updated guidelines: Additional Guidelines: Temperature Dependency: At lower temperatures (<15°C), the de-shuttering time may need to be increased further due to slower hydration. Strength-Based Removal: The formwork should not be removed until 75% of the characteristic strength is achieved at the relevant age. Proper Curing: After de-shuttering, curing must be continued to ensure proper strength development.
