Impact of Plasticizers on Technological Properties of Gypsum

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sulphate binders based on gypsum are widely used in building industry. This research work was focused on testing the influence of Melflux plasticizers on the final properties of the gypsum mixture. The aim was to determine the correct concentration of the plasticizer considering workability and improvement of mechanical properties, especially the compressive strength. Different concentrations of plasticizers were tested in mixture of alfa and beta plaster. Each batch was created as paste of normal consistency to create accurate comparison. The results of experiment show significant improvements of mechanical strength of the hardened mixture while maintaining same consistency. This knowledge can be utilized in the design of high-strength sulphate binders.
