Powder additives

The requirements for mineral based mortars have been steadily increasing in the last decades. Without additives it is hardly possible to cope with these technical challenges. The content of additives in dry mixes normally ranges between 0.1 and 10%. Nevertheless these additives do have a crucial influence on the properties of the mortar. There are several kinds of additives used in dry mix mortars, e.g. air‐entraining agents, accelerators, retarders, superplasticizers and rheology modifiers. In this paper three other product groups are discussed more in detail: shrinkage reducing agents, powder defoamers and powder dispersants.
