A new accelerator for energy-saving technologies

New accelerator on organic base has been developed. While combined with superplasticizersit it allows to realize energy-efficient technologies for reinforced concrete products fabrication. On the base of calorimetry and XRD data we supposed that early strength rise is determined by accelerating of ettringite formation.
