The invention relates to the use of a composition for injection grouting obtainable by mixing an alkali metal silicate or an organic silicate, colloidal silica particles, and at least one gelling agent, wherein the weight ratio of colloidal silica to silicate is from about 2:1 to about 100:1. The invention also relates to a method of sealing a leaking part or cavity, and method of cutting off a liquid flow in a leaking part or cavity. The invention further relates to a composition for injection grouting and a method for preparing such composition.

Injection grouting

A method for sealing rock or soil comprising inserting a sealing composition obtained by mixing a silica sol and at least one gelling agent, wherein the silica sol has an S-value higher than about 72%, a method for preparing the sealing composition and the composition obtained from the method.

Sealing composition and its use

The present invention relates to a method for sealing rock or soil comprising inserting a sealing composition obtained by mixing a silica sol and at least one gelling agent, wherein the silica sol has an S-value higher than about 72%, a method for preparing the sealing composition and the composition obtained from the method.

The invention relates to a construction material comprising a hydraulic binder, water, and an aluminum-modified colloidal silica. The invention also relates to a method for preparing such materials and the use thereof.

Construction material

The invention concerns silica sol mixture comprising a first silica sol having a broad particle size distribution, the relative standard deviation being at least about 30% by numbers, and a second silica sol having a narrow particle size distribution having a relative standard deviation lower than about 15% by numbers. The invention also concerns a method for preparing a silica sol mixture and use thereof. The invention further concerns a concrete composition comprising a silica sol mixture and a method for preparing such composition.

Mixture of silica sols

The invention concerns a silica sol mixture comprising a first silica sol having a broad particle size distribution, the relative standard deviation being at least about 30% by numbers, and a second silica sol having a narrow particle size distribution having a relative standard deviation lower than about 15% by numbers. The invention also concerns a method for preparing a silica sol mixture and use thereof. The invention further concerns a concrete composition comprising a silica sol mixture and a method for preparing such composition.

The present invention relates to a concrete composition comprising a hydraulic binder, aggregates, water, silica sol and a superplasticiser being a polycarboxylate. The invention further involves a method for preparation thereof and use of the prepared concrete composition as high fluidity concrete.
