Efficiency of Additives for Aluminate Cement-based Dry Mixes for Self-Levelling Floors

Abstract

This article examined the properties of non-shrinking binders for floor coverings. The main goal of the experiment is to develop a dry self-levelling, non-shrinking mixture for monolithic seamless flooring. The possibility of obtaining a non-shrinking dry mixture based on aluminate cements and gypsum is considered. The main structural component in the experiments is ettringite. Additive-modifying agents for rheological properties that work effectively with a two-component binder were selected experimentally. The results of rheological studies, measurements of expansion and shrinkage deformations, physical and mechanical properties of the hardened solution are given.
