Applications of Calcium Hydrosilicates and Amorphous Aluminosilicates in Lime Dry Mixes

Abstract

Information is given on the possibility of using additives based on calcium hydrosilicates synthesized using diatomite and amorphous aluminosilicates as modifying dry mortar in the formulation. The data of the analysis of mineralogical composition of the investigated additives are given, the influence of additives on the change in the plastic strength of the lime test and the content of free lime is revealed. The kinetics of the change in the strength of lime samples was studied, which confirmed that the investigational additives possess a structuring effect and can be used as modifying agents.
