Cement dispersing agents for self-compacting concrete of high flowability, comprising a water-soluble N-vinyl copolymer, prepared by copolymerizing (a) an N-vinyl-lactame or -amide with (b) a polyethylene glycol ester of maleic acid containing 6 to 240 moles of oxyethylene groups per molecule and (c) at least one monomer selected from among unsaturated dicarboxylic acids and (d) methallylsulfonic acid. When an aqueous solution of this copolymer is used as an admixture to freshly prepared concrete of even extremely low water-to-cement ratio, a high fluidity, a low decrease in flowability with the progression of time and a lack of segregation over time is attained.

Dispersing agent for high-flow or self-compacting concrete

Novel water-soluble linear copolymers of N-vinylamides with monomeric addition products of amines, amino acids, amino groups containing aromatic sulfonic acids, amino alcohols of maleic anhydride as well as maleic esters of polyoxyalkyleneglycols or their monoethers. There is also described the process for the preparation of these copolymers. The copolymers are useful as fluidizers in water containing solid matter suspensions.

Water-soluble copolymers, a process for their preparation and their use

Moisture curable composition

New compounds having one, two or three aldimine groups and one, two or three oxazolidine groups in their molecule are curing agents for organic polyisocyanates. Mixtures of said new compounds with polyisocyanates are stable for long periods if humidity is absent, if they however come into contact with water or the humidity of the environment they rapidly cure resulting in elastic or hard polymers. The new compounds are prepared by reacting a diamine or polyamine with up to 6 amino groups with an epoxy compound, yielding a polyamino alcohol, which is thereafter reacted with an aldehyde, e.g. formaldehyde, an aliphatic, cyclic or heterocyclic or aromatic aldehyde.

Compounds having one or more aldimine and oxazolidine groups, process

Highly concentrated aqueous solutions of low viscosity of melamine/aldehyde resins are obtained by reacting to a precondensate in a first step melamine and an aldehyde in an alkaline medium and in the presence of water together with at least one compound (I), selected from the group, consisting of an alkali sulfite, an alkaline earth sulfite, an amino sulfonic acid, an amino carboxylic acid, a hydroxycarboxylic acid, a hydroxycarboxylic acid lactone, and a polyhydroxy carboxylic acid lactone, reacting then the thus obtained mixture in a second step with at least one compound (II), selected from the group, consisting of an amino carboxylic acid, a carboxylic acid, a hydroxy carboxylic acid, a hydroxy carboxylic acid lactone, a sulfamic acid, an amino sulfonic acid, a polyhydroxy carboxylic acid and a polyhydroxy carboxylic acid lactone, and then making alkaline the obtained resin solution by adding at least one basic compound (III). The resin solutions prepared according to this invention may be used as added substances for improving the quality of building materials containing inorganic binders.
