Abstract: A proposal is made for a cementitious system which comprises accelerator particles coated with crosslinked shellac, for the use as an additive component which comprises the accelerator particles coated with crosslinked shellac, and for a cement slurry which comprises the cementitious system and water.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the preparation of a hardening accelerator composition by reaction of a water-soluble calcium compound with a water-soluble silicate compound and by reaction of a calcium compound with a silicon dioxide containing component under alkaline conditions, in both cases the reaction being carried out in the presence of a polycondensate containing at least one structural unit consisting of an aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety bearing a polyether side chain and at least one structural unit consisting of an aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety bearing at least one phosphoric acid ester group and/or its salt. The invention concerns a composition of calcium silicate hydrate and the polycondensate, its use as hardening accelerator and for the reduction of the permeability of hardened compositions.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the preparation of a hardening accelerator composition by reaction of a water-soluble calcium compound with a water-soluble silicate compound and a process for the preparation of a hardening accelerator composition by reaction of a calcium compound with a silicon dioxide containing component under alkaline conditions, in both cases the reaction of the water-soluble calcium compound with the water-soluble silicate compound being carried out in the presence of an aqueous solution which contains a water-soluble comb polymer suitable as a plasticizer for hydraulic binders. The invention concerns also a composition of calcium silicate hydrate and comb polymer, its use as hardening accelerator and for the reduction of the permeability of hardened compositions.
