Influence of Triethanolamine on the Properties of Cement-Based Materials

Abstract:

The effects of triethanolamine on the compressive strength and setting time of fly ash cementitious materials, slag cementitious materials, and limestone cementitious materials were investigated. The results show that the dosage of 0.04% of triethanolamine can significantly improve the 3d, 7d and 28d compressive strength of fly ash cementitious materials. It possesses less impact on the setting time. The dosage of 0.04% of triethanolamine can significantly improve the 3d and 7d compressive strength of slag cementitious materials while the effect of late strength is not obvious. It extends the initial setting time and the final setting time is not changed, which has retarding effect. The results of hydration heat and XRD show that triethanolamine extends the induction period of cement hydration, and gypsum is exhausted in advance during the hydration process. Triethanolamine promotes the transformation of AFt to AFm and there is no effect on the type of hydration products.
