Abstract
A concrete-forming composition for producing a concrete article including: (a) at least one internal curing agent including a water-insoluble crosslinked cellulose ether wherein the water-insoluble crosslinked cellulose ether has a higher water adsorption capacity compared to typically used superabsorbent polymers and wherein the water-insoluble crosslinked cellulose ether can be successfully and efficiently used as a water-insoluble crosslinked cellulose either internal curing agent in concrete-forming compositions; and (b) a cementitious material; a process for making the above concrete-forming composition; and a concrete article made from the above concrete-forming composition with the objective of reducing autogenous shrinkage and crack formation in the resulting concrete article made from the above concrete-forming composition.
