A process to inert non-swelling clays in at least one mineral component intended for the preparation of a hydraulic composition, including the addition, to the hydraulic composition, to the mineral component or to one of the other constituents of the hydraulic composition, of an organic molecule having a cationic charge density strictly less than 0.5 meq/g and including at least two atoms each being capable of forming at least one hydrogen bond.

Process to inert non-swelling clays

A fast hydraulic binder comprising cement, at least one first superplasticizer, a calcium salt, and at least one second superplasticizer different from the first superplasticizer and comprising a main chain and pendant groups connected to the main chain adapted so as to separate from the main chain in a basic medium, wherein the result is that the second plasticizer has a fluidifying action which increases at least temporarily over time in a basic medium.

Fast hydraulic binder for parts and constructions made of concrete containing a calcium salt

A method includes adding at least one copolymer or a salt thereof acting as a plasticizer, blocking agent, or both a plasticizer and a blocking agent, to a calcium sulphate-based hydraulic binder. The copolymer includes an acrylic acid or a poly(oxy)alkylene copolymer.

Admixture for hydraulic binder

A method includes using a composition in the production of cement, the composition including at least one dispersing agent and at least one sacrificial molecule to partially or totally retain the properties of the dispersing agent; being either in the form of a liquid solution, or an emulsion or a suspension; the quantity of the sacrificial molecule in the composition representing at least 5% by mass of the mass of dispersing agent; and being introduced before or during the grinding of the clinker.

Protection of a dispersing agent during a grinding operation

The invention mainly relates to the use of a (co)polymer having a main chain essentially consisting of (meth)acrylic units and polyoxyalkylated side-chains containing statistically-distributed hydrophobic units as an adjuvant for lowering the viscosity of hydraulic compositions.
