Abstract: A zinc-oxide based set retardant additive and admixture for use in Portland cement or other hydraulic cement mixtures. The admixture may comprise silica fume, vitreous calcium aluminosilicate, magnesium aluminum silicate hydrate, a cellulose ether derivative, or their equivalents. The zinc-oxide based set retardant may be interground or pre-blended, pre-packaged, or added on the jobsite, as an admixture, additive, or addition. The zinc-based set retardant may be subsequently added or mixed into a ready mix or wet mixture of portland cement or other hydraulic cement, sand and/or aggregate, with or without fillers, and water, with or without other pozzolans or polymers.

Abstract: A pozzolan admixture composition suitable for use in portland cement mixtures and mix designs that, when combined with; portland cement, sand and/or aggregate, and water, are used to prepare cementitious products. The admixture contains ultra-fine fly ash, calcined kaolin, fused silica, and cellulose ether derivative. A pozzolan-modified portland cement composition containing the present invention's composition inter-ground or inter-blended with a portland cement. The pozzolan-modified portland cement contains portland cement, ultra-fine fly ash, calcined kaolin, fused silica, and a cellulose ether derivative. An admixture, additive, or addition, based on the present invention's composition, inter-ground or inter-blended into portland cement to create such pozzolan-modified portland cements.

Abstract: Blended cement compositions for mixture with aggregate and water to prepare cementitious products. Such blended cement compositions contain cement, calcined diatomaceous earth, calcined kaolin, and about 0.5% to about 4% (w/w) of potassium, with or without talc and/or bentonite or their functional equivalents. Admixtures for blending into cement to create such blended cements or their read-mix equivalents contain calcined kaolin, calcined diatomaceous earth, and potassium, with or without talc and/or bentonite or their functional equivalents.
