  • Patent number: 8258228
    Abstract: The invention relates to compositions intended to be applied to the surfaces of freshly poured mortars and/or concretes, before the beginning of the setting, in order simultaneously to prevent the evaporation of the water present in said mortars and/or concretes, which is necessary for their setting and then for their hardening, and in order to create, on said treated surfaces, high adhesiveness for the finishing materials intended to cover them, these compositions being provided in the form of aqueous emulsions comprising at least one paraffin wax (a), alone or in combination with at least one hydrocarbon compound (b) and/or with at least one other hydrocarbon compound (c) different from the hydrocarbon compound (b), and also comprising at least one latex (d) formed of a colloidal aqueous emulsion of at least one polymer, and at least one pulverulent inorganic or organic filler (e).

  • Patent number: 8092589
    Abstract: The invention relates to compositions intended to be applied to surfaces of freshly poured mortar and/or concrete mixes, before the start of setting, in order to prevent the evaporation of water needed for them to set and harden, which are distinguished by the fact that, for the purpose of making them synergistic with regard to water retention, they are composed, in the form of aqueous emulsions, of: a) at least one petroleum-derived or synthetic paraffin wax containing, as a mixture, saturated and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons of general formulae CnH2n+2 and CnH2n for which n is at least equal to 30 and the melting point of which is between 40° C. and 75° C.

  • Patent number: 8080103
    Abstract: A demolding composition, to be used for the production of parts of hydraulic-setting material, includes at least one oil and at least one calcium salt, calcium borates and calcium salts of fatty acids being excluded from the at least one calcium salt.
