Hydration And Some Other Proeprites Of Polyethylene Glycol Modified Cement Products

Effect of polyethylene glycol additions to ordinary Portland cement on its properties like heat of hydration, setting time, compressive and tensile strength, has been studied by adding 0.1 to 5.0% additive by weight of cement. Corrosion resistance of the resulting product has been tested against sea water and 0.1 and 1.0 N HCl and H2SO4 respectively. Water absorption/open porosity have also been determined and the microstructures examined. It was observed that strength, hardness, toughness and corrosion resistance increase up to 3.0% addition of polyethylene glycol in ordinary Portland cement.
