  • COMPOSITIONS FOR IMPROVED CONCRETE PERFORMANCE
    Publication number: 20240199502
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a process is described for the preparation of a concrete mixture in a Ready-mix or for an installation. A quantity of amorphous silica is added with an average particle size in the range of from about 1 to about 55 nanometers and/or wherein the surface area of the particles of the amorphous silica is in the range of from about 50 to about 900 m2/g. The amorphous silica may be added in colloidal form or otherwise, and is added at a particular stage to ensure efficacy.

  • Method for preparing an improved finished concrete product
    Patent number: 11884600
    Abstract: A method for preparing and finishing concrete is disclosed, comprising preparing a cement surface by a process comprising the admixture addition, to an industrial concrete mixer/pourer, of a formulation comprising nanosilica, after some or all water is combined and mixed with cement mix, sand and aggregate; followed by pouring and floating; followed by the addition, before or during combination, to the concrete surface, of a formulation comprising water, an alpha-hydroxy acid, a glycol alkyl ether and a polyethylene glycol.
