“ADDITIVI ANTIPOLVERE PER COMPOSIZIONI CEMENTIZIE†⠀ œ ANTI-DUST ADDITIVES FOR CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITIONSâ €
La presente invenzione si riferisce ad additivi capaci di ridurre la formazione di polvere e relativa emissione che avviene durante la manipolazione di malte a base cementizia per il settore edile, in particolare durante lo svuotamento dei sacchi contenenti tali prodotti. The present invention relates to additives capable of reducing the formation of dust and relative emission that occurs during the handling of cement-based mortars for the construction sector, in particular during the emptying of the bags containing these products.
In particolare, l’invenzione riguarda l’utilizzo di esteri liquidi da aggiungere alla malta a base cementizia per ridurre la formazione di polverosità . In particular, the invention concerns the use of liquid esters to be added to the cement-based mortar to reduce the formation of dust.
Stato della tecnica State of the art
La generazione di polvere da materiali solidi finemente suddivisi à ̈ una fonte di problemi ambientali. In particolare, malte a base cementizia per il settore edile possono generare significative quantità di polvere quando maneggiate, sopratutto durante le operazioni di svuotamento dei sacchi. Tale polvere, se inalata, può depositarsi nelle vie respiratorie degli operatori, con effetti potenzialmente pericolosi per la salute degli stessi. La normativa europea EN 481 individua varie categorie di polvere; particelle di polvere inferiori a 100 micron corrispondono alla frazione E, inalabile nei polmoni, mentre particelle sotto i 10 micron corrispondono alla frazione A, quasi invisibile, che permane in aria per un tempo molto lungo, ed à ̈ inalabile anche negli alveoli. La maggior parte delle particelle di cemento ha dimensioni inferiori a 10 micron e sono pertanto potenzialmente dannose per la salute, a causa della presenza di composti alcalini come la calce (ossido di calcio), corrosiva per i tessuti umani oltre a tracce di silice cristallina, che à ̈ abrasiva per la pelle e può danneggiare i polmoni e a tracce di cromo che possono causare reazioni allergiche. The generation of dust from finely divided solid materials is a source of environmental problems. In particular, cement-based mortars for the construction sector can generate significant quantities of dust when handled, especially during bag emptying operations. If inhaled, this dust can deposit in the respiratory tract of the operators, with potentially dangerous effects for their health. The European standard EN 481 identifies various categories of dust; dust particles below 100 microns correspond to fraction E, which can be inhaled into the lungs, while particles below 10 microns correspond to fraction A, almost invisible, which remains in the air for a very long time, and can also be inhaled in the alveoli. Most of the cement particles are less than 10 microns in size and are therefore potentially harmful to health, due to the presence of alkaline compounds such as lime (calcium oxide), which is corrosive to human tissues as well as traces of crystalline silica. which is abrasive to the skin and can damage the lungs and traces of chromium which can cause allergic reactions.
L’uso di additivi capaci di ridurre lo sviluppo di polvere nelle formulazioni a base di cemento Portland à ̈ già noto in letteratura da quasi 50 anni. Il brevetto GB 892015, pubblicato nel 1962, descrive un miglioramento nella produzione e nelle proprietà del cemento Portland idrorepellente, con l’obbiettivo di ridurne la tendenza alla formazione di polvere, macinandolo con 0,2-0,15% in peso di olio minerale lubrificante, olio minerale o gelatina minerale. Il brevetto GB 1227355 suggerisce la composizione di una malta a base di cemento Portland contenente una aggiunta di un olio minerale, con l’obbiettivo di ridurre la formazione di polvere. Ulteriori informazioni su analoghe invenzioni sono contenute in JP 06-150847 in cui viene proposto l’uso di un inibitore della formazione di polvere in forma di paraffina liquida e in US 3656979, in cui si ottiene una composizione cementizia antipolvere con l’aggiunta di 0,1-0,3% in peso di un olio paraffinico. The use of additives capable of reducing the development of dust in Portland cement-based formulations has already been known in the literature for almost 50 years. The patent GB 892015, published in 1962, describes an improvement in the production and properties of water-repellent Portland cement, with the aim of reducing its tendency to form dust, grinding it with 0.2-0.15% by weight of oil. mineral lubricant, mineral oil or mineral jelly. Patent GB 1227355 suggests the composition of a mortar based on Portland cement containing the addition of a mineral oil, with the aim of reducing the formation of dust. Further information on similar inventions is contained in JP 06-150847 in which the use of a dust formation inhibitor in the form of liquid paraffin is proposed and in US 3656979, in which an anti-dust cementitious composition is obtained with the addition 0.1-0.3% by weight of a paraffinic oil.
Descrizione dell’invenzione Description of the invention
Si à ̈ ora trovato che esteri liquidi di acidi grassi, applicati ad esempio per nebulizzazione diretta sulle superfici di materiali cementizi quali adesivi, autolivellanti e fughe, sono particolarmente efficaci e vantaggiosi rispetto ad additivi noti nel ridurne lo sviluppo di polvere. It has now been found that liquid esters of fatty acids, applied for example by direct nebulization on the surfaces of cementitious materials such as adhesives, self-leveling compounds and joints, are particularly effective and advantageous with respect to known additives in reducing the development of dust.
L’applicazione può essere effettuata sia sulle singole materie prime che compongono il prodotto cementizio sia sul prodotto finito stesso, in percentuali comprese tra 0,1%-2,0%, preferibilmente tra 0,4% e 1,0%. The application can be carried out both on the single raw materials that make up the cement product and on the finished product itself, in percentages between 0.1% -2.0%, preferably between 0.4% and 1.0%.
La viscosità degli esteri secondo l’invenzione deve essere tale da permetterne una facile nebulizzazione, avendo così a disposizione la maggiore superficie di contatto possibile tra le particelle liquide dell’additivo e le particelle solide del materiale cementizio. La polverosità , stimata come valore di polverosità persistente, viene ridotta fino al 90%, come misurata utilizzando un analizzatore DustMon®, prodotto da Anatac AS. L’analizzatore contiene una camera di misura in cui à ̈ gettato il campione polveroso da valutare. Una luce passa attraverso la camera di misura a una distanza di 12 cm dal fondo, tra la sorgente e un rivelatore. L’intensità luminosa misurata dal rilevatore diminuisce all’aumentare della concentrazione delle particelle disperse, e quindi questa à ̈ una misura direttamente correlata con i livelli di polvere del campione. La figura 1 mostra un grafico tipico ottenuta con la macchina DustMon, mostrando il cosiddetto “indice di concentrazione delle polveri in funzione del tempo†di una malta a ridotta emissione di polverosità in confronto a quella di un prodotto convenzionale. Entrambe le misure tendono a un asintoto che può essere considerato come un indice della polvere persistente generata dal prodotto. The viscosity of the esters according to the invention must be such as to allow easy nebulization, thus having available the largest possible contact surface between the liquid particles of the additive and the solid particles of the cementitious material. Dust, estimated as a persistent dust value, is reduced by up to 90%, as measured using a DustMon® analyzer, manufactured by Anatac AS. The analyzer contains a measuring chamber in which the dusty sample to be evaluated is thrown. A light passes through the measuring chamber at a distance of 12 cm from the bottom, between the source and a detector. The light intensity measured by the detector decreases as the concentration of dispersed particles increases, and therefore this is a measure directly correlated with the dust levels of the sample. Figure 1 shows a typical graph obtained with the DustMon machine, showing the so-called “dust concentration index as a function of time” of a low-dust emission mortar compared to that of a conventional product. Both measures tend towards an asymptote which can be considered as an index of the persistent dust generated by the product.

Da prove effettuate con additivi liquidi di varia natura chimica (esteri, idrocarburi alifatici o aromatici sia di origine sintetica che vegetale, alcoli, ammine), gli esteri sono risultati quelli con la maggiore capacità di riduzione polvere, in particolare la categoria degli esteri di acidi grassi. Inoltre, gli esteri hanno anche altre proprietà desiderabili: From tests carried out with liquid additives of various chemical nature (esters, aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons of both synthetic and vegetable origin, alcohols, amines), the esters were found to have the greatest dust reduction capacity, in particular the category of acid esters fat. Furthermore, esters also have other desirable properties:
• sono capaci di mantenere bene le proprietà antipolvere in un prodotto cementizio stoccato per un tempo prolungato in varie condizioni; â € ¢ they are able to maintain the anti-dust properties well in a cement product stored for a prolonged time in various conditions;
• sono facili da stoccare e non pericolosi; â € ¢ they are easy to store and not dangerous;
• sviluppano bassi quantitativi di particelle organiche volatili; â € ¢ they develop low quantities of volatile organic particles;
• non influenzano lo sviluppo delle proprietà meccaniche del prodotto cementizio. â € ¢ they do not influence the development of the mechanical properties of the cementitious product.
Prima di effettuare le prove con gli additivi, à ̈ stata valutata la polverosità delle differenti materie prime che sono state quindi combinate a dare il prodotto finito. Tra i componenti formulativi, divisi nelle quattro categorie, leganti inorganici (cementi portland, cementi alluminosi, loppe, gessi, anidriti, calce idraulica, metacaolini etc.), inerti (sabbia, carbonato di calcio, inerti alleggeriti, inerti funzionali, materiali di riciclo), organici (polveri ridispersibili) e additivi (eteri di cellulosa, pigmenti, aeranti, antischiuma, tissotropizzanti, idrofobizzanti, plastificanti, fluidificanti, agenti antiritiro, etc.), quelli che risultano tra le fonti principali di polverosità sono: Before carrying out the tests with the additives, the dustiness of the different raw materials was evaluated and then combined to give the finished product. Among the formulation components, divided into four categories, inorganic binders (Portland cements, aluminous cements, slag, gypsum, anhydrites, hydraulic lime, metakaolin etc.), inert (sand, calcium carbonate, lightened aggregates, functional aggregates, recycled materials ), organic (redispersible powders) and additives (cellulose ethers, pigments, aerating agents, defoamers, thixotropic agents, hydrophobic agents, plasticizers, fluidifiers, anti-shrinkage agents, etc.), those that are among the main sources of dust are:
1) cemento portland 1) Portland cement
2) carbonato di calcio avente dimensioni medie superiori ai 100 um 3) polvere ridispersibile. 2) calcium carbonate having an average size greater than 100 µm 3) redispersible powder.
Tale studio ha permesso di individuare una serie di equazioni in grado di prevedere il contributo di ciascuna materia prima e permettere quindi una stima del valore di polverosità totale del prodotto finale. In Figura 2 vengono riportate le curve per le materie prime più significative. This study made it possible to identify a series of equations capable of predicting the contribution of each raw material and therefore allowing an estimate of the total dustiness value of the final product. Figure 2 shows the curves for the most significant raw materials.
La conoscenza del contributo alla polverosità delle varie materie prime ha quindi permesso di identificare il dosaggio ottimale dei vari additivi antipolvere testati, con percentuali da 0,1 a 2%, preferibilmente tra 0,4% e 1%, potendo in alcuni casi sfruttare la tendenza di determinate materie prime all’impaccamento. The knowledge of the contribution to the dustiness of the various raw materials has therefore made it possible to identify the optimal dosage of the various anti-dust additives tested, with percentages from 0.1 to 2%, preferably between 0.4% and 1%, being able in some cases to exploit the tendency of certain raw materials to packing.
La stessa riduzione di polverosità à ̈ stata osservata sia applicando l’additivo antipolvere sulle singole materie prime sia sul prodotto finito. The same reduction in dustiness was observed both by applying the anti-dust additive on the individual raw materials and on the finished product.
Gli esteri sono stati testati in particolare nel seguente generico formulato cementizio: The esters were tested in particular in the following generic cementitious formulation:
- cemento Portland 10-70% - Portland cement 10-70%
- cemento alluminoso 0-30% - aluminous cement 0-30%
- sabbia 10-70% - sand 10-70%
- carbonato di calcio 0-30% - calcium carbonate 0-30%
- polvere ridispersibile 0-10% - 0-10% redispersible powder
- additivi 0-2%. - 0-2% additives.
Gli esteri sono stati testati tramite nebulizzazione, in percentuale compresa tra 0,4-1,0%. The esters were tested by nebulization, in a percentage between 0.4-1.0%.
La riduzione di polverosità à ̈ stata stimata comparando il contenuto di polverosità persistente, tramite misure con l’apparato Dustmon, del prodotto cementizio originale e del prodotto su cui à ̈ stato spruzzato l’estere. The reduction of dust has been estimated by comparing the persistent dust content, through measurements with the Dustmon apparatus, of the original cementitious product and the product on which the ester was sprayed.
I risultati ottenuti sono discussi negli esempi seguenti The results obtained are discussed in the following examples
Esempio 1 Example 1
L’additivo liquido utilizzato in questo esempio à ̈ un gliceril-trioleato che, pur rientrando nella caratteristiche sopra descritte, presenta un valore di viscosità cinetica piuttosto elevato. The liquid additive used in this example is a glyceryl-trioleate which, although falling within the characteristics described above, has a rather high kinetic viscosity value.
In particolare, le valutazioni eseguite con le seguenti aggiunte In particular, the assessments performed with the following additions
a) formulato cementizio 100% a) 100% cementitious formulation
b) formulato cementizio 99,6% gliceril-trioleato 0,4% b) cementitious formulation 99.6% glyceryl trioleate 0.4%
c) formulato cementizio 99,4% gliceril-trioleato 0,6% c) cementitious formulation 99.4% glyceryl trioleate 0.6%
d) formulato cementizio 99,2% gliceril-trioleato 0,8% d) cementitious formulation 99.2% glyceryl trioleate 0.8%
hanno dato valori di riduzione polverosità (indice della polverosità persistente generata dal prodotto) rispettivamente di 23.4, 10.8, 6.4 e 3.1, che evidenziano come l’additivo risulti di difficile nebulizzazione, portando ad avere una superficie di contatto iniziale con le particelle più fini inferiore a quella ottimale e quindi la riduzione iniziale della polverosità à ̈ decisamente bassa. Solo a quantità elevate tale additivo inizia a dimostrarsi efficace. gave dust reduction values (index of persistent dustiness generated by the product) of 23.4, 10.8, 6.4 and 3.1 respectively, which highlight how the additive is difficult to atomise, leading to an initial contact surface with the finer particles lower than the optimal one and therefore the initial reduction in dustiness is decidedly low. Only at high quantities does this additive begin to prove effective.
Esempio 2 Example 2
L’additivo liquido utilizzato in questo esempio à ̈ un isobutil-oleato che, pur rientrando nelle caratteristiche sopra descritte, à ̈ costituito da un alcol monovalente a catena piuttosto corta, con un punto di ebollizione non particolarmente elevato. The liquid additive used in this example is an isobutyl oleate which, even though it falls within the characteristics described above, is made up of a monovalent alcohol with a rather short chain, with a not particularly high boiling point.
In particolare, le valutazioni eseguite con le seguenti aggiunte In particular, the assessments performed with the following additions
a) formulato cementizio 100% a) 100% cementitious formulation
b) formulato cementizio 99,6% isobutil-oleato 0,4% b) cementitious formulation 99.6% isobutyl oleate 0.4%
c) formulato cementizio 99,4% isobutil-oleato 0,6% c) cementitious formulation 99.4% isobutyl oleate 0.6%
d) formulato cementizio 99,2% isobutil-oleato 0,8% d) cementitious formulation 99.2% isobutyl oleate 0.8%
hanno dato i seguenti valori di polverosità : 23.4, 4.4, 2.1, 1.2. Tuttavia, ripetendo il test dopo aver mantenuto la polvere addizionata in un sacchetto di plastica aperto per 7 giorni, si sono ottenuti valori di riduzione polvere di 7.5 e dopo altri 7 giorni di 11.0, partendo da valori di 4.4. I risultati dimostrano che questo additivo, pur risultando efficace sia in termini di riduzione della polverosità iniziale che in termini di interazione con la matrice cementizia (le proprietà meccaniche del prodotto rimangono pressochà ̈ inalterate se comparate con quelle del prodotto polveroso iniziale), non à ̈ in grado di mantenere tali capacità antipolvere nel tempo, dato un punto di ebollizione non particolarmente elevato e una parziale saponificazione dell’estere a liberare l’alcol monovalente a catena corta: questo à ̈ un effetto della parziale idratazione della superficie cementizia lasciata esposta alle condizioni di umidità ambientale. gave the following dustiness values: 23.4, 4.4, 2.1, 1.2. However, by repeating the test after keeping the added powder in an open plastic bag for 7 days, dust reduction values of 7.5 and after another 7 days of 11.0 were obtained, starting from values of 4.4. The results show that this additive, while being effective both in terms of reducing the initial dustiness and in terms of interaction with the cement matrix (the mechanical properties of the product remain almost unchanged if compared with those of the initial dusty product), is not able to maintain these anti-dust capacities over time, given a not particularly high boiling point and a partial saponification of the ester to release the monovalent short-chain alcohol: this is an effect of the partial hydration of the cement surface left exposed under ambient humidity conditions.
Esempio 3 Example 3
L’additivo liquido utilizzato in questo esempio à ̈ un etilesil-laurato che, pur rientrando nelle caratteristiche sopra descritte, presenta un valore di saponificazione piuttosto elevato. The liquid additive used in this example is an ethylhexyl laurate which, although it falls within the characteristics described above, has a rather high saponification value.
In particolare, le valutazioni eseguite con le seguenti aggiunte In particular, the assessments performed with the following additions
a) formulato cementizio 100% a) 100% cementitious formulation
b) formulato cementizio 99,6% etilesil-laurato 0,4% b) cementitious formulation 99.6% ethylhexyl laurate 0.4%
c) formulato cementizio 99,4% etilesil-laurato 0,6% c) cementitious formulation 99.4% ethylhexyl laurate 0.6%
d) formulato cementizio 99,2% etilesil-laurato 0,8% d) cementitious formulation 99.2% ethylhexyl laurate 0.8%
hanno evidenziato come la presenza di un elevato numero di gruppi carbossilici porti a una maggiore interazione con la matrice cementizia andando a creare un effetto depressivo sullo sviluppo delle resistenze meccaniche finali del prodotto. have highlighted how the presence of a high number of carboxyl groups leads to a greater interaction with the cement matrix, creating a depressant effect on the development of the final mechanical strength of the product.
Esempio 4 Example 4
L’additivo utilizzato in questo esempio à ̈ un isotridecil-oleato, che ricade perfettamente nelle caratteristiche generali sopra descritte. The additive used in this example is an isotridecyl-oleate, which falls perfectly within the general characteristics described above.
In particolare le valutazioni eseguite con le seguenti aggiunte In particular the assessments performed with the following additions
a) formulato cementizio 100% a) 100% cementitious formulation
b) formulato cementizio 99,6% isotridecil oleato 0,4% b) cementitious formulation 99.6% isotridecyl oleate 0.4%
c) formulato cementizio 99,4% isotridecil oleato 0,6% c) cementitious formulation 99.4% isotridecyl oleate 0.6%
d) formulato cementizio 99,2% isotridecil oleato 0,8% d) cementitious formulation 99.2% isotridecyl oleate 0.8%
hanno dato i seguenti valori di polverosità : 23.4, 3.0, 1.7, 1.0. Questi risultati mostrano come l’additivo risulti più efficace al crescere della concentrazione. Esperimenti effettuati mantenendo il campione aperto per tempi prolungati mostrano che questo additivo à ̈ efficace anche nel mantenere le proprietà nel tempo. L’interazione con la matrice cementizia si à ̈ dimostrata essere trascurabile dato che le prestazioni finali del prodotto sono identiche a quelle del formulato senza additivo. they gave the following dustiness values: 23.4, 3.0, 1.7, 1.0. These results show that the additive is more effective as the concentration increases. Experiments carried out by keeping the sample open for prolonged times show that this additive is also effective in maintaining its properties over time. The interaction with the cement matrix has proved to be negligible since the final performance of the product is identical to that of the formulation without additive.
Una piena corrispondenza con le caratteristiche sopra descritte permette quindi di selezionare un additivo soppressore della polverosità già efficace a bassi dosaggi ed efficiente con tutti i tipi di formulati cementizi. A full correspondence with the characteristics described above allows therefore to select a dust suppression additive already effective at low dosages and efficient with all types of cementitious formulations.
