Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for treating clay-bearing aggregates, particularly those used for construction purposes, which involve introducing to clay- bearing aggregates an ion-exchanged polycondensate of dialkylamine and epichlorohydrin having anionic groups comprising both acetate and chloride ionic groups, wherein the acetate is present in an amount of 51-99 percent, and more preferably in the amount of 60-95 percent, based on molar concentration of the anionic groups, whereby chloride ionic groups are minimally present.
Abstract:
Methods for plasticizing cementitious mixtures having relatively high water/cement ratio (at least 0.40 or higher) are surprisingly improved in terms of dosage efficiency, compared to conventional "superplasticizer" polycarboxylate polymers, when the comb-type carboxylate copolymer is formed from two different polyether side chains, specifically selected monomer constituents: (A) first polyoxyalkylene monomer represented by structural formula (R 1 )(R 3 )C=C(R 2 )((CH 2 ) m (CO) n O(CH 2 ) o (AO) p R 4 ) wherein (AO) p represents linear alkylene oxide and p is an integer of 5-23; (B) second polyoxyalkylene monomer represented by structural formula (R 1 )(R 3 )C=C(R 2 )((CH 2 ) m (CO) n O(CH 2 ) o (AO) q R 4 ) wherein (AO) q represents linear alkylene oxide groups and q is an integer of 20 to 200; (C) unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer represented by (R 5 )(R 7 )C=C(R 6 )(C(O)OM) wherein M represents an alkali metal, and the ratio of component A to component B is 20:80 to 50:50; and, optionally, (D) a water- soluble monomer represented by (R 8 )(R 9 )C=C(R 10 )(X) wherein R 8 , R 9 , and R 10 each represent hydrogen or methyl group, and X represents C(O)NH 2 , C(O)NHR 11 , C(O)NR 12 R 13 , OR 14 , SO 3 H, C 6 H 4 SO 3 H, or C(O)NHC(CH 3 ) 2 CH 2 SO 3 H, or mixture thereof, wherein R 11 , R 12 , R 13 , and R 14 each represent a C 1 to C 5 alkyl group.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a composition and method for modifying a hydratable cementitious composition such as concrete or mortar using at least three different, distinct carboxylate polymers, even when clay is present in the concrete or mortar that would otherwise diminish dosage efficiency of polycarboxylate polymer used as dispersant. The three polycarboxylate polymers, designated as Polymer I, Polymer II, and Polymer II, are derived from monomer Components A, B, and C wherein Component A is an unsaturated carboxylic acid, Component B is a polyoxyalkylene, and Component C is an unsaturated carboxylate ester. The component molar ratio ranges for A:B:C are different as between Polymers I and II; while a distinct component molar ratio A:B+C is identified for Polymer III. When treated with these three different polycarboxylate polymers, the hydratable cementitious composition is surprisingly enhanced in terms of initial workability and slump retention, especially if clay is present.

Abstract:
Methods for plasticizing cementitious mixtures having relatively high water/cement ratio (at least 0.40 or higher) are surprisingly improved in terms of dosage efficiency, compared to conventional “superplasticizer” polycarboxylate polymers, when the polycarboxylate polymer is formed from particularly small-sized, specifically selected monomer constituents: (A) polyoxyalkylene monomer represented by the structural formula (R1)(R3)C═C(R2)((CH2)m(CO)nO(CH2)o(AO)pR4) wherein (AO)p represents linear ethylene oxide groups and p is 5-23 and more preferably 5-15; (B) unsaturated carboxylic acid represented by (R5)(R7)C═C(R6)(C(O)OM) wherein M represents an alkali metal, the ratio of component A to component B being 20:80 to 50:50; and, optionally, (C) a hydrophilic monomer represented by (R8)(R9)C═C(R10)(CX) wherein R8, R9, and R10 each represent hydrogen or methyl group, and X represents C(O)NH2, C(O)NHR11, C(O)NR12R13, SO3H, C6H4SO3H, or C(O)NHC(CH3)2CH2SO3H, or mixture thereof, wherein R11, R12, and R13 each represent a C1 to C5 alkyl group.
