Abstract
A low moisture composition for producing concrete articles exhibiting increased density and strength and requiring a short consolidation time is obtained by adding a powder admixture of naphthalene formaldehyde condensates to a cement composition.
Description
ADMIXTURE TO IMPROVE CONSOLIDATION OF CEMENT
COMPOSITION WITH LOW MOISTURE CONTENT
This invention relates to a method and composition for producing concrete articles in a very short time frame which have increased density and strength.
By adding a powder admixture of naphthalene formaldehyde condensates to a cement composition, the time of vibration required for consolidation of such concrete articles is reduced, yet density and strength is increased.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Concrete articles are typically prepared by pouring a cementitious composition into a mould and agitating and pressing it. Generally, the cementitious composition must cure for 18 to 24 hours in the mould before it can be removed as a formed usable concrete article.
Conventionally, water has been added to the cementitious composition to disperse particles of cementitious material and improve the workability of the composition. Unfortunately, the amount of mixing water required for workability is normally a great deal more than necessary for subsequent hydration and setting of the cementitious composition. Hollow spaces formed by evaporation of excess water result in decreased strength of the concrete article of the finished product and instability of the product upon demoulding.
Additives including polycondensation products based on naphthalene sulfonic acids have been used in cement compositions to improve workability and flowability with reduced water-cement ratio as low as 0.23%, but the essential water content comprising at Ieast 10% of material solids by weight moisture. As observed in U.S. Patent No. 5,798,425, the liquefying action of these additives in cement compositions is short Iived and can result in a decrease in workability or slump loss.
Accordingly, there is need for a method of maleing concrete articles from cement compositions having low water content in a short time period.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the invention to provide cement compositions having a low moisture content (slump around zero) which are suitable for making concrete articles in a short period of time.
It is a further object of the invention to provide cement compositions having a low moisture content (slump around zero) which can be used to prepare concrete articles exhibiting adequate mechanical strength and stability during manufacture and transport to point of use.
These and other objects of the invention are achieved by providing a cement composition comprising hydraulic cement and .5 to 3% by weight of the hydraulic cement of a naphthalene sulfonate condensate wherein the maximum moisture content of the composition is 8% by weight. The invention also provides a method of making a concrete article by introducing the cement composition into a mould, applying pressure and vibration to the cement composition thereby forming a concrete article and removing the concrete article from the mould after the short time.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION' OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The cement composition of the present invention is used to prepare concrete articles which have a moisture content of 8% by weight or less, approximately zero slump, i.e. which do not exhibit any substantial flow. The cement composition can be used in a dry technology process in which simultaneous vibration and high pressure is employed to consolidate the material in a mould. Concrete articles made in accordance with the invention include but are not limited to concrete paving stones, wall blocks, tiles and the like.
The essential component of the inventive cement composition is a powder admixture of naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensates (NSFC) which is mixed with hydraulic cement in the amount of 0.5 to 3% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 1.75% by weight of the hydraulic cement. Suitable NSFC materials include Hydropalat~ D available from Cognis Coatings & Inks located in Ambler, Pennsylvania and Lomar D available from GEO Specialty Chemicals in Harsham, Pennsylvania.
Any suitable hydraulic cement can be utilized in the cement compositions of the invention. Suitable cements include Portland cement, alumina cement or blended cement, for example, pozzolanic cement, slag cement or other types. A preferred cement is Portland cement of one or more of the various types identified as ASTM Type I to V. The hydraulic cement is present in an amount of 6 to 15% by weight of the cement composition. The cement composition according to the present invention may further contain one or more additives such as fillers, for example, glass powder, quartz, silica and the like, color pigments and reinforcing fibers made of metallic, synthetic or mineral material. These additives are present in up to 40%~by weight of the cement composition.
The invention will be better understood with reference to the following illustrative examples which do not limit the scope thereof.

POZ 400N, refers to "Pozolith 400N", a plasticizes available from Master Builders.
Reo 1000 refers to for "Reobuild 1000," a plasticizes available from the same company. As can be seen from Table 4, Comparative Sample SC was sticky and difficult to demould while Sample 5 in accordance with invention resulted in a concrete block which was easily manufactured and had a high compressive strength.
Exam 1e Concrete specimens were prepared from cement compositions in accordance with the invention as in Example 1 and are shown in Table 5 as Samples 7-9. Concrete specimens were also prepared using Reomix 700, an admixture from Master Builders Co., to improve the consolidation property.
