Abstract
Abstract An effective amount of a free acid of a condensation product of naphthalenesulfonic acid and formaldehyde is added to a cementitious composition to improve its compressive strength and to reduce its water content. The free acid may be added to concrete, mortar, oil well cement slurries, grouting mixtures or the like. From about 0.05 to about 3.0% by weight is added to mortar mixtures and from about 0.1 to about 5.0% by weight is added to concrete mixtures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
A hardened cementitious composition having improved compressive strength and reduced water content prepared from a cementitious composition and an effective amount of a free acid of a condensation product of naphthalenesulfonic acid and formaldehyde wherein anionic materials in the free acid have equivalent elution volume by size exclusion chromatography of from about 61% to about 70% of the total elution.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
60 words
A hardened cementitious composition having improved compressive strength and reduced water content prepared from a cementitious composition and an effective amount of a free acid of a condensation product of naphthalenesulfonic acid and formaldehyde wherein anionic materials in the free acid have equivalent elution volume by size exclusion chromatography of from about 61% to about 70% of the total elution.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
The hardened cementitious composition of claim 1 wherein the composition is prepared from a concrete mix containing 100 parts by weight of cement, from about 140 to about 260 parts by weight of sand, from about 100 to about 200 parts by weight of gravel and from about 35 to about 60 parts by weight of water.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
The hardened cementitious composition of claim 1 wherein the composition is prepared from a mortar mix containing 100 parts by weight of cement, from about 200 to about 400 parts by weight of sand and from about 38 to about 50 parts by weight of water.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
The hardened cementitious composition of claim 2 wherein from about 0.1 to about 5.0% by weight of the free acid based on weight of cement is present.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
The hardened cementitious composition of claim 3 wherein from about 0.05 to about 3.0% by weight of the free acid based on weight of cement is present.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
61 words
A process for production of a hardened cementitious composition of claim 1 comprising adding to a cementitious composition an effective amount of a free acid of a condensation product of naphthalenesulfonic acid and formaldehyde wherein anionic materials in the free acid have an equivalent elution volume by size exclusion chromatography of from about 61% to about 70% of the total elution.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
54 words
The process of claim 6 wherein the cementitious composition is a concrete mix containing 100 parts by weight of cement, from about 140 to about 260 parts by weight of sand, from about 100 to about 200 parts by weight of gravel and from about 35 to about 60 parts by weight of water.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
43 words
The process of claim 6 wherein the cementitious composition is a mortar mix containing 100 parts by weight of cement, from about 200 to about 400 parts by weight of sand and from about 38 to about 50 parts by weight of water.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process of claim 7 wherein from about 0.1 to about 5.0% by weight of the free acid based on weight of cement is present.
