Abstract: The invention relates to a mixture composition having dispersing properties, containing copolymers based on unsaturated mono or dicarboxylic acid derivatives and oxyalkylene ethers as component I and water-soluble copolymers and terpolymers containing sulfo groups having an average molecular weight of 50 000-20 000 000 g/mol as component II. By combining both components, which can be respectively characterized by four different structural units, it is possible to obtain mixture compositions which can, more particularly, be used as dispersing agents for organic and/or inorganic pigments and fillers, in addition to known applications in the field of structural chemistry. In the field of structural chemistry, the mixture compositions are suitable for use on account of the dispersing properties thereof, particularly in ceramic systems and in water-based painting and coating systems.

Abstract: In order to produce porous concrete, the use of an organic additive with water-reducing, dispersing and/or flowability-increasing properties is provided. This additive is at least one representative of the series of polycondensation products based on naphthalinsulfonic acids or alkylnaphthalinsulfonic acids, melamine-formaldehyde resins containing sulfonic acid groups, and copolymers based on unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid derivatives and on oxyalkylene glycol-alkenyl ethers. This additive is preferably admixed to a non-foamed and, in particular, mixing water-free porous concrete base mix containing lime, a hydraulic binder, preferably cement and sand, whereby quantities between 0.01 and 10% by weight are considered as preferred quantities. By using the additive in the aforementioned manner, the method for producing porous concrete can be carried out using distinctly less energy and thus more cost-effectively without negatively influencing the typical properties of porous concrete products.

Abstract: Flow improving agents for binder suspensions containing cement are described, which consist of:a) Graft polymers which have been prepared by radical grafting of a polyalkylene oxide of the general formula (I) with an ethylenically unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or the anhydride thereof, and then by derivatizing with a primary or secondary amine and/or alcohol, and also ofb) Casein.These flow improving agents have the advantage that the ability to flow is considerably improved in comparison, for example, with casein alone, and the improved ability to flow is preserved over a longer period of time.
