Patent number: 7255731Abstract: The subject of the present invention is the use of particular polysaccharides as admixtures for mineral materials, especially as admixtures for mineral binders. These polysaccharides have, characteristically: a weight-average molecular weight Mw of at least 500 g/mol and at most 9000 g/mol, especially between 700 and 7000 g/mol; and a degree of branching DB of at least 10%, especially between 10 and 40%. The invention also relates to the combined use, in mineral materials, including especially mineral binders, of these particular polysaccharides on the one hand and of certain other admixtures on the other hand, for example admixtures, of saccharidic or nonsaccharidic type, having a plasticizing, superplasticizing or other functionality.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2005Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Assignee: Roquette FreresInventor: Léon Mentink

Patent number: 7232873Abstract: A polycarboxylic acid cement dispersant that can exhibit high dispersing ability and allow deforming in early stages in the case of producing concrete products, whereby the turnover of a formwork is increased so as to improve productivity, and the method of producing such as concrete product are provided. The polycarboxylic acid cement dispersant which provides a cement composition having a penetration resistance value exponent of 55 MPa or more and a slump retention exponent of 80% or more, and the method of producing a concrete product which makes use of a copolymer derived by using monomer components comprising the monomer (A) as polyalkylene glycol unsaturated monomer, the monomer (B) as unsaturated carboxylic monomer, and the monomer (C) as sulfonic acid group-containing monomer.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2004Date of Patent: June 19, 2007Assignee: Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Tomita, Hirokatsu Kawakami, Hiroko Okochi

Patent number: 7147706Abstract: Cementitious compositions having high compressive strength and high flexibility. An efficient method of making such strong cementitious compositions entails pre-mixing cement additives that can easily be added to a mixture of cement, silica, fibers and water. The cementitious compositions can be used to make strong, thin layers, such as tiles, that are relatively lightweight, as well as heavy structures, such as roads and bridges, without additional reinforcement.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2002Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: Carpentercrete, LLCInventor: Matthew R.
