Cement additives are materials added to cement for the optimization of the cement properties and the cement grinding process. Cement additives are classified into different product groups such as grinding aids, strength enhancers and performance enhancers. ... Examples of our performance enhancers are SikaGrind® LS-43 for Portland Limestone ...
Given these constraints, the firm industrial acceptance of grinding aids in the cement industry that followed over 10 to 15 years must be considered relatively rapid (Blanks and Kennedy, 1955). Effect of Grinding Aids on Wet Grinding. A variety of additives have been shown to have grinding aid characteristics for grinding cement …
The filler effect of LS is mainly related to its particle size. The calculated packing density of mixtures containing cement, slag and LS is illustrated in Fig. 1 [25].It can be seen from Fig. 1 (a) that the packing density of mixtures is lower when the particle size of LS is coarser or comparable to Portland cement, whereas the packing density is higher …
