THE INFLUENCE OF CELLULOSE ETHERS ON THE CHOSEN PROPERTIES OF CEMENT MORTAR IN THE PLASTIC STATE
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
The influence of cellulose ether on the consistency, water retention (WRV parameter) and setting and hardening process of cement mortar is discussed in this article. The composition of researched mortars differed in the type of dispensed polymer admixture because of its viscosity and quantity. The research confirmed that cellulose ether has strong influence on the properties of cement mortar in the plastic state. The proper selection of the admixture (its viscosity and quantity) may have a decisive influence on the properties of the final product, therefore a basic and comprehensive examination of the material is so important.
