Decorative Multi-Component Alkali Activated Cements for Restoration and Finishing Works

Abstract

The paper is devoted to development and research of decorative multi-component alkali activated cements with enhanced quality characteristics. The use of finely dispersed mineral additives and alkali metal salts allows to obtain multi-component cements with the lower content of OPC clinker. In chemical composition these decorative multi-component cements are similar to Roman cement. The developed multi-component cements have comparable or better performance properties compared to Roman cement and allow for to use them successfully in making plasters, mortars, etc. for restoration, finishing works and decoration of facades.
