Abstract:The modernization of building systems is increasingly demanding products that improve efficiency during their processing. The development of self-leveling mortars for the regularization of flooring is a consequence of this evolution. The high contents of binder and water to obtain self-flowing property, plus the application of thin layers over large areas, make this type of mortar susceptible to high shrinkage levels. Thus, the ternary system Portland cement-calcium aluminate cement-calcium sulfate (OPC-CAC-Ca… Show more
