Water‐glass as a binder is used in acid and fire‐proof applications. A chemical modification influences the curing rate or characteristics like the flexural and compressive strength. The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of the addition of C3S, C3A, and Na3(PO3)3 on the chemical durability of cured sodium silicate mortars. The results show that the addition of clinker minerals as accelerator reduces chemical durability and makes these binders unusable for acid‐proof applications. The addition of Na3(PO3)3 makes the sodium silicate binder durable against water and acid attacks and triples the compressive strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
