Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a method for retarding the setting time of rapid hardening cement which comprises adding a boric compound to cement manufactured by adding insoluble anhydrite to clinker powder containing 11CaO.7Al 2 O 3 .CaX 2 or adding the clinker to insoluble anhydrite and intergrinding the mixture, and a method for still more retarding the setting time of rapid hardening cement which comprises adding a boric compound to cement containing a set-retarding agent other than the boric compound.

80 words
A method for retarding the setting time of rapid hardening cement which comprises adding at least one boron compound selected from the group consisting of boric acid, boric acid anhydride and water soluble borates to cement manufactured by adding insoluble anhydrite (CaSO 4 ) to clinker which contains 11CaO.7Al 2 O 3 .CaX 2 (X represents a halogen atom) and solid solutions of 3CaO.SiO 2 , 2CaO.SiO 2 and 4CaO.Al 2 O 3 .Fe 2 O 3 as mineral components.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
80 words
A method for retarding the setting time of rapid hardening cement which comprises adding at least one boron compound selected from the group consisting of boric acid, boric acid anhydride and water soluble borates to cement manufactured by adding insoluble anhydrite (CaSO 4 ) to clinker which contains 11CaO.7Al 2 O 3 .CaX 2 (X represents a halogen atom) and solid solutions of 3CaO.SiO 2 , 2CaO.SiO 2 and 4CaO.Al 2 O 3 .Fe 2 O 3 as mineral components.
Claim 3
