Abstract
Abstract This invention provides cementiferous compositions having improved flow characterisitics which are given by the incorporation of certain hydroxy acrylate copolymers. Typical copolymers are of acrylic or methacrylic acid with a hydroxyalkyl acrylate or methacrylate and are used preferably in the range 0.01% to 2.5% w/w on the cement in the cementiferous composition. This invention also provides novel additive compositions for use in the cementiferous compositions.
