Chemical Admixtures - Portland Cement Association
Chemical admixtures are the ingredients in concrete other than portland cement, water, and aggregate that are added to the mix immediately before or during mixing.
Portland Cement - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Portland cement (PC) production contributes by about 6% to global emissions of C02. Reduction of the PC content in the binder exerts therefore a direct positive effect on such emissions. Partial replacement of the Portland cement by pozzolanic mineral admixtures has been proven a possible option.

Mar 02, 2020 · Hydration stabilizer – This ready-to-use aqueous solution of stone compounds is specifically designed to stabilize the hydration of Portland cement concretes. Low-slump admixture – This liquid is a high-performance, ready-to-use admixture recommended for use in the production of very low or zero-slump concrete.
Water Reducer for Portland Cement | GCP Applied ...
Producers can enjoy more workability without adding more water? For a concrete admixture that improves the material without any downsides, look to the ZYLA® family of products. Better concrete, without downsides. The products comprising the ZYLA® brand are designed to increase the workability, finishability and durability of concrete.
Admixtures for Concrete - Memphis
An air-entraining cement is a portland cement with an air-entraining addition interground with the clinker during manufacture. An air-entraining admixture, on the other hand, is added directly to the concrete materials either before or during mixing. The primary ingredients used in air-entraining ad- mixtures are listed in Table 6-1.
Types of stone Admixtures - The Concrete Network
Mineral admixtures affect the nature of the hardened concrete through hydraulic or pozzolanic activity. Pozzolans are cementitious materials and include natural pozzolans (such as the volcanic ash used in Roman concrete), fly ash and silica fume. They can be used with Portland cement, or blended cement either individually or in combinations.
What is concrete - Concrete Defined - The Concrete Network
Portland Cement - The cement and water form a paste that coats the aggregate and sand in the mix. The paste hardens and binds the aggregates and sand together. Water - Water is needed to chemically react with the cement (hydration) and too provide workability with the concrete.
The Disadvantages of Fly Ash in Concrete | Hunker
Jul 17, 2017 · Fly ash is a common concrete admixture. Fly ash is a byproduct from coal-fired power plants that is frequently used as an admixture in concrete to replace a portion of the Portland cement. Using fly ash in concrete is environmentally beneficial because it reduces the Portland cement (a major contributor of CO2) required in concrete.
The influence of inorganic admixtures on early cement ...
In this study, Portland cement (P⋅II 52.5, cement clinker + gypsum + ≤5 wt% calcite), calcium chloride, potassium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid, and deionized water were used. The stone information of cement is presented in Table 1.
Types of Admixtures of Concrete & Cement | Chemical, Mineral
An admixture which, when added to concrete, mortar, or grout, increases the rate of hydration of hydraulic cement, shortens the time of set in concrete, or increases the rate of hardening or strength development. Accelerating admixtures can be divided into groups based on …
Dryvit AC-100 : Acrylic Admixture Cement Mixes | Metrosealant
Dryvit AC-100 is a premium formulation of acrylic polymers designed to be used as an admixture for Portland cement mixes. It improves adhesion
CBD-103. Admixtures in Portland Cement Concrete - NRC-IRC
It is the "fifth" ingredient in concrete, an addition to the four basic components: portland cement, water, sand and stone. Concrete specifications today recognize the uses and functions of these agents, and they have become an integral part of concrete technology and practice.
Cement and Concrete Mineral Admixtures by Mustafa Tokyay ...
The possibilities of using mineral admixtures as constituents of special concretes such as self-compacting, reactive powder, roller-compacted concretes and special non-portland, low-cost, low-energy and/or low-CO2 cements such as alinite, calcium sulfoaluminate, and belitic cements and alkali-activated binders are also covered.
Plasticizer admixture - BONDING AGENT® - Ecobeton Italy srl
Bonding Agent is a multipurpose product that fixes permanently coatings and restorations based on Portland cement to existing concrete, giving properties to concrete mixture that could not be found in any other bonding agent, admixture or modifier. It is liquid and it can be used as a bonding ag...
(PDF) Accelerating admixtures for concrete
Abstract Accelerating admixtures affect the rates of reactions between cement and water to give an overall increase in the hydration rate. Thus, the use of accelerators in concrete provides a...
High strength concrete properties, admixture, and mix ...
Admixture in High strength concrete A part of cement (5 to 8 percent) can also be replaced by silica fume. As silica fume particles are very fine (less than one-hundredth of cement particles), they fill nano-scale voids in concrete.
