Mixing grout in the frost. Why forbidden dilute water solution
What can be added to the solution, if the work takes place in sub-zero temperatures? Previously, in a simple salt solution was added. But it adversely affects the metal. There is a way out - to use corrosion inhibitors.
His hands can be done antifreeze additive of ammonia water. This is the cheapest option to make the grout plastic and durable. Another plus - it slows down the corrosion of the metal material and efflorescence on masonry less or no.
Now there are more effective tools for sale - antifreeze additives. These additives are better salts, since they are composed of chemical reagents, which contributes to increased heat.
Antifreeze additives used in plaster, masonry, concrete mortar. Additives protect the valve against oxidation, enhance adhesion solution strength. There will be no cracking during thawing.
Why can not add water to the finished grout?
It so happens that during mixing a cement slurry, the mixture is too thick. The first thing that comes to mind - add more water and continue to work. But if you need to add water or is it forbidden?
Preparation of the solution according to the technology requires a single addition of water. But why not once again add water, and that will lead to this?
After mixing the solution seizure occurs. The same happens with the additives and plasticizers.
It may seem that the addition of water the solution became thinner, but will then, of homogeneous composition is not obtained. The mixture will be lumpy, Will not have the elasticity. Moreover, there is no benefit from the addition of additives and plasticizers.
