Cementitious compositions in which the cementitious properties of fly ash are carefully controlled are described. The cementitious compositions may be substantially free harsh acids and bases such as citric acids (&#x2248;pH 2.2) and alkali metal activators including alkali hydroxides (&#x2248;pH 12-14) and metal carbonates (&#x2248;pH 11.6). The use of these harsh chemicals creates acid base reactions during use of the products. Instead of these harsh chemicals, a lactic acid salt based activator is be used as a reaction accelerator. Boric compounds may be used as a retarder in the compositions.

Lactate activated cement and activator compositions

Cementitious compositions in which the cementitious properties of fly-ash are carefully controlled. The cementitious compositions may be substantially free harsh acids and bases such as citric acids (&#x2248;pH 2.2) and alkali metal activators including alkali hydroxides (&#x2248;pH 12-14) and metal carbonates (&#x2248;pH 11.6). The use of these harsh chemicals creates acid base reactions during use of the products. Instead of these harsh chemicals, a citric salt, for example potassium citrate, may be used as a reaction accelerator. Boric compounds may be used as a retarder in the compositions.
