The present invention relates to an additive for hydraulically setting compositions comprising a colloidally disperse preparation comprising at least one salt of a polyvalent metal cation with at least one organic phosphonate and/or phosphate compound as anion and at least one polymeric dispersant comprising anionic and/or anionogenic groups and polyether side chains. The additive is especially suitable as slump retainer and for improving early strength.

Additive for hydraulically setting compositions

A set control composition for cementitious systems comprises (a) an amine-glyoxylic acid condensate, and (b) at least one of (i) a borate source and (ii) a carbonate source. The carbonate source is selected from inorganic carbonates having an aqueous solubility of 0.1 gLor more, and organic carbonates. The set control composition improves workability of cementitious systems for prolonged periods of time without compromising early compressive strength. Due to the retarding action of the set control composition, the dosage of dispersant(s) necessary to obtain a desired flowability of the cementitious system can be reduced.

Set control composition for cementitious systems

The invention relates to a process for modifying polymer particles of an aqueous polymer dispersion in which positively or negatively charged polymer particles are provided with an inorganic salt shell. The inorganic shell leads to an improved drying ability and storage stability of the latex and improves the storage stability of the resulting polymer powder. The obtained polymer powder exhibits an improved viscosity and faster skin-forming time in the final application and is therefore particularly useful in a building material composition.

Further disclosed is a process for preparing the polymers of the invention and the use thereof as dispersants in calcium sulphate-containing compositions. A further aspect of the invention is a process for producing shaped gypsum bodies, and also shaped gypsum bodies, more particularly gypsum plasterboards and self-levelling screeds, comprising the dispersant of the invention.

The present invention relates to an additive for hydraulically setting compositions, comprising a colloidally disperse preparation of at least one salt of a mono- or polyvalent metal cation and of at least one compound which is able to release an anion which forms a low-solubility salt with the metal cation, and of at least one polymeric sulphonated dispersant. The additive is suitable particularly as a slump retainer.

The present invention relates to an additive for hydraulically setting compositions, comprising a colloidally disperse preparation of at least one water-soluble salt of a polyvalent metal cation, at least one compound capable of releasing an anion which forms a sparingly soluble salt with the polyvalent metal cation, and at least one polymeric dispersant which comprises anionic and/or anionogenic groups and polyether side chains.

A process for the preparation of a copolymer in semicontinuous operation in a polymerization apparatus, comprising a polymerization reactor connected to a metering device, acid monomer being initially taken in the metering device and polyether macromonomer, acid monomer and water in the polymerization reactor, acid monomer being metered from the metering device into the polymerization reactor, the metering of the acid monomer being effected with the proviso that at least 70 mol % of the acid monomer metered in altogether are metered in the course of 5 to 19 minutes at a metering rate that is constant or varies to a limited extent.

Semi continuously operated method for producing copolymers

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of polymers by free radical polymerization of monomers in the presence of water, electrochemically produced free radicals being used for initiating the free radical polymerization.

Method for initiating radical polymerizations

Statistic comb polymers obtainable by the radical copolymerization of a vinylic poly(alkylenoxide) compound (A) with an ethylenically unsaturated monomer compound (B) according to the catalytic chain transfer method (CCT). The comb polymers are extremely suitable for hydraulic binder suspensions based on cement, lime, gypsum and anhydrite as they have, for the same dosage, an improved water reducing power over conventional flow agents. The corresponding building material mixtures are characterized by a substantially reduced stickiness and plastic viscosity once said comb polymers are added, which dramatically improves the plasticity of very cement-rich building material mixtures, such as concretes. The building material mixtures using the inventive flow agents have a considerably increased slump flow and an increased shear-thinning behavior as compared to conventional concretes without the tendency to segregate.
