Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An aqueous composition is used for repairing and/or sealing of hardened concrete structures, the aqueous composition including colloidal silica and polycarboxylate ether.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An aqueous composition for repairing and/or sealing of hardened concrete structures, the aqueous composition comprising colloidal silica and polycarboxylate ether. 2 . The aqueous composition according to claim 1 , wherein the weight average particle size of the colloidal silica is in the range of 1 nm to 150 nm. 3 . The aqueous composition according to claim 1 , wherein the weight average particle size of the colloidal silica is in the range of 5 nm to 10 nm. 4 . The aqueous composition according to claim 1 , wherein, based on the total weight of the aqueous composition, the content of colloidal silica is in the range of 1 to 50% by weight and the content of polycarboxylate ether is in the range of 1 to 50% by weight. 5 . The aqueous composition according to claim 1 , wherein, based on the total weight of the aqueous composition, the content of colloidal silica is in the range of 5 to 50% by weight and the content of polycarboxylate ether is in the range of 2 to 50% by weight. 6 . The aqueous composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polycarboxylate ether is a comb polymer. 7 . The aqueous composition according to claim 1 , wherein the total amount of colloidal silica, polycarboxylate ether and water, based on the total weight of the aqueous composition, is at least 80% by weight. 8 . The aqueous composition according to claim 1 , wherein, based on the total weight of the aqueous composition, the content of water is at least 15% by weight. 9 . A method for repairing and/or sealing a hardened concrete structure, comprising the step of applying an aqueous composition according to claim 1 to the hardened concrete structure or a part thereof. 10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the hardened concrete structure is a hardened reinforced concrete structure. 11 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the aqueous composition is applied by injecting, migrating, infiltration or application onto the surface of the structure. 12 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the hardened concrete structure includes cracks. 13 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein application of the aqueous composition to the hardened concrete structure is non-invasive. 14 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the method comprises at least one additional treatment of the concrete structure selected from protecting the reinforcement by application of a corrosion inhibiting agent, crack sealing with a reactive agent or waterproofing of the surface of the concrete structure with a hydrophobic material. 15 . The aqueous composition according to claim 1 is used for repairing and/or sealing a hardened concrete structure.
