  • Publication number: 20230146623
    Abstract: A precast concrete molded body is provided, which is a cured product of a concrete composition. The concrete composition comprises: a microcapsule; cement; and at least one type of aggregate. The microcapsule is provided with a core-shell structure having i) a core made of a water repellent organosilicon material selected from the group consisting of organosilanes, organosilane partial condensation products, and branched siloxane resins, and ii) a shell made of a silicon-based network polymer containing silica units. The concrete composition contains 0.01 to less than 0.5 parts by weight of microcapsules per 100 parts by weight of cement. Thereby, a precast concrete molded body can be provided, having high strength, as well as at least one of the following properties: air content stability, substance penetration prevention, and freeze-thaw resistance.

  • Publication number: 20230131818
    Abstract: A cement composition is provided. The cement composition comprises: a microcapsule and cement. The microcapsule is provided with a core-shell structure having i) a core containing a water-repellent organosilicon material selected from the group consisting of organosilanes, organosilane partial condensation products, and branched siloxane resins, and ii) a shell of a silicon-based network polymer containing a silica unit. The microcapsule is included at 0.01 to less than 0.5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the cement. Thus, it is possible to provide a cement composition that can provide a cured product having high strength, as well as excellent air content stability, substance penetration prevention, drying shrinkage, and freeze-thaw resistance.

  • Patent number: 4844340
    Abstract: An inorganic hydraulic material composition containing reinforcing short fibers is sprayed without breakage thereof, by fluidizing reinforcing short fibers in a blast of compressed air, by blending the flow of the reinforced short fibers fluidized in the blast of compressed air with a dry mixture of an inorganic hydraulic material such as cement with an aggregate such as sand in a dry blending region, by introducing the resultant dry blend into a water-mixing region, by mixing the dry blend with water, and by spraying the resultant wet composition through a spray nozzle.
