A method for improving the processability and the mechanical initial strengths of masses on the basis of hydraulic cements

摘要

The processibility and initial mechanical strengths of hydraulic cement compositions, e.g., Portland cement, are improved by formulating therewith an adjuvant comprising (i) a water-soluble salt of the condensation product of an aromatic sulfonic acid with HCHO (formulated either alone or in admixture with a water-soluble salt of an aromatic sulfonic acid which has not been condensed with HCHO), (ii) lithium hydroxide, and (iii) a hydroxide of another alkali metal or of an alkaline earth metal.
