Abstract: The invention relates to an aqueous polymer composition which is used in the form of a cement grinding aid and makes it possible to effectively reduce the grinding time and to obtain cements exhibiting excellent characteristics. A cement grinding aid containing a combination of polymer A and known grinding aids is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a use of a composition containing polyorganosiloxane S and a method of reducing corrosion on steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete constructions, and also a concrete structure which is produced using such compositions. It is highly suitable for the renovation of old concrete but also for inhibition of corrosion of reinforcing iron in fresh concrete.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for the reduction of the corrosion rate of already corroding steel reinforcements embedded in a hardened concrete structure as well as for the protective corrosion inhibition of uncorroded steel reinforcements embedded in a hardened concrete structure exposed to aggressive environments. The inventive new compositions employed for the novel method are essentially based on one or more amino- and/or hydroxyalkylamino compound(s), which are partially or completely neutralized with one or more inorganic acid(s) and/or derivatives thereof and/or aliphatic carboxylic- and/or aromatic carboxylic acid(s), one or more surfactant(s) and one or more water-based or water-thinnable water repellent agent(s) selected from the group of organosilicones.

Abstract: The invention relates to a setting- and hardening-accelerator for hydraulic binders containing at least a nitrate- or sulfite component, at least a thio-cyanate component, at least an alkanolamine component and at least a carboxylic acid component, as well as a method of setting- and hardening-acceleration of hydraulic binders or mixtures containing hydraulic binders.
