Abstract: Dilution-stable compositions are useful for the mass hydrophobization of mineral building materials. The compositions contain at least one organosiloxane (A), at least one emulsifier (B), and water. The organosiloxane (A) has SiC-bonded C2-C6 alkyl radicals and SiC-bonded C7-C18 alkyl radicals. Processes can be used for preparing the organosiloxane (A). Hydraulically setting compositions contain the organosiloxane (A).

Abstract: A composition contains at least one microorganism which can form a phosphate or carbonate precipitate in an alkaline medium, and at least one calcium source. The composition has at least one silicon compound having at least one Si-atom, at least one C-atom, and at least one H-atom. The composition can be used in a method for producing a construction product.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of carboxylic acid-based polyoxyalkylenes as low-emissions shrinkage reducers in mineral binders, to methods of reducing shrinkage and to corresponding compositions.

Abstract: The invention provides for the use of coating compositions based on one or more mineral binders, one or more polymers, one or more fillers, and, if desired, one or more additives for producing roof coatings, the coating compositions comprising at least 50% by weight of polymers, based on the dry weight of the polymers and of the mineral binders.

Abstract: The present application relates to compositions comprising at least one siloxane and at least one superplasticizer based on polycarboxylate ethers or sulphonates of lignin, melamine or naphthalene or of resins thereof, and to the use of such compositions as or in building-product mixtures or building products, especially mortar mixtures or concrete mixtures. Preferably the siloxane is a branched siloxane containing at least one “T” unit and containing at least two different polyoxyalkylene moieties.

Abstract: Use of water-dispersible or water-soluble polyether-urethanes, which optionally contain isocyanate groups, as additives for inorganic binders in the preparation of a building material, particularly a high-density or high-strength mortar or concrete composition. The building material resulting from the use of the water-dispersible or water-soluble polyether-urethanes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing mortar/concrete compositions by incorporating into the mortar/concrete compositions either before or during the mixing operation a water-dispersible polyisocyanate whicha) has an average isocyanate functionality of 1.8 to 4.0,b) contains 4.0 to 25.0 wt. % of aliphatically and/or cycloaliphatically bound isocyanate groups (calculated as NCO; molecular weight=42) andc) contains 5 to 80 wt. % of ethylene oxide units present within polyether chains (calculated as C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O; molecular weight=44), in whichd) the polyether chains contain an average of 5 to 50 ethylene oxide units.
