Go to local websites LabNews Technical & scientific articles on cement Activation of slag blended cements by amines Cements containing blast furnace slags such as CEM III cements are increasingly used in both precast and ready-mixed concrete to improve the environmental footprint. However, the replacement of clinker by slag at a content varying between 35 and 95 wt% leads to a significant slow-down of cement hydration and consequently to a loss of early […] LuminTech®, coloured photoluminescent particles for decorative concrete The introduction of luminescent pigments in materials in order to provide visibility in low light or zero brightness (night, shade, darkness, interior unlit due to an electric failure...) is sought. There are different types of luminescence depending on the excitement: bioluminescence with enzymatic excitation, thermoluminescence with thermal action… Photoluminescent particles have the property of absorbing […] Improving VRM stability to achieve higher clinker factor reduction In some specific process conditions (e.g. Vertical Roller Mills), the use of conventional high performance strength enhancers can lead to process limitations. These sides effects are often controlled by reducing the dosing rate of cement additive. However, this leads to a lack of grinding aid in cement to achieve all the benefits from the chemicals.
