The effect of fluorine based emulsion on the watertightness properties of Portland cement

초록

It is well known that the properties of concrete such as the compressive strength, water permeability, water tightness and durability are affected by micro-structure in hardened cement paste. Especially, for durability of concrete, watertightness of cementitious materials is the most critical property among various properties. Recently, many types of material such as organic and/or inorganic materials are used for watertightness of concrete. In this study, we examined the effect of fluorine-based emulsion on watertightness property. And we also discussed the change of microstructure and formation of hydrates in hardened cement paste by the addition of fluorine-based emulsion. Cement paste with fluorine-based emulsion showed improvement of watertightness by the surface activation of cement paste and by formation of CaF2 fine crystals in cement pore structure.
