Abstract: An accelerator powder for cement and also rapid-setting binder compositions which contain the accelerator powder and the use in mortar or concrete. The accelerator powder includes from 10 to 99.7% by weight of a water-insoluble mineral powder P and from 0.3 to 90% by weight of at least one compound V selected from the group consisting of alkali metal halides and alkaline earth metal halides, alkali metal nitrates and alkaline earth metal nitrates, alkali metal nitrites and alkaline earth metal nitrites, alkali metal thiocyanates and alkaline earth metal thiocyanates and hydroxyalkylamines or salts thereof, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: An accelerator for mineral binder compositions, especially for mortars or concrete, including: aluminium sulfate, at least one pozzolane, optionally at least one defoamer, and water. The accelerator is particularly useful for shotcrete, in the field of free-forming construction, or for additive manufacturing.

Abstract: A dry mineral binder composition includes cement and mineral fillers for the manufacture of molded parts by way of 3D printing. The binder composition additionally contains at least one aluminum sulfate-based accelerator, at least one polycarboxylate ether-based super-plasticizer and at least one rheology additive.

Abstract: A system for applying a building material including: a mixing device for mixing individual components of the building material into a curable building material; a pressure head which can be moved in at least one spatial direction and by means of which the workable building material can be applied; a delivery line, with which the curable building material can be conveyed from the mixing device to the pressure head; at least one delivery device for delivering the curable building material from the mixing device through the delivery line to the pressure head; a feed device, which is designed in such a manner that at least two separate components of the building material can be fed via at least two separate inlets into the mixing device, more particularly into a mixing chamber of the mixing device.

Abstract: A method for applying a curable building material, in particular in an additive method, including the steps of: providing at least two separate components of the building material; adding the at least two separate components into a mixing apparatus, in particular into a mixing chamber of the mixing apparatus, by a supply apparatus; mixing the at least two separate components in the mixing apparatus to obtain a curable building material in a set, cured state; supplying the set building material via a conveying line to a printing head, which is movable in at least one spatial direction, using a conveying apparatus; applying the set building material by the movable printing head.

Abstract: An additive, in particular a shrinkage reducing agent, for mineral binder compositions including at least one super absorbant polymer SAP and at least one defoamer D. Further, a mineral binder composition including the additive, processes and methods for the mixing thereof, and to hardened articles obtainable therefrom.

Abstract: An improved mineral binder composition including: a mineral binder including at least 30 weight-% slag, based on the weight of the mineral binder, an activator for the hydration of the slag consisting of or comprising calcium hydroxide and a co-activator consisting of or including at least one salt selected from the group consisting of lithium carbonate, lithium sulfate and sodium carbonate.
