Abstract

The present invention relates to substantially water free hydraulic cement pastes which remain shelf stable over extended time periods, for example, 100 days at room temperature. The substantially water free cement pastes comprise a deep eutectic solvent mixture of a polar organic carrier component, such as a hydrogen donor like a polyol, in association with an anhydrous cation containing component, and a hydraulic cement, preferably, an aluminate cement, or sulpho-aluminate cement. A preferred deep eutectic solvent mixture comprises K 2 CO 3 and glycerol in molar ratios of from 1:1 to 1:6. The cement pastes are activated simply by addition of water or aqueous polymers to form thin set compositions.

First claim

We claim:

1 . A substantially water free cement paste composition comprising a deep eutectic solvent mixture of a polar organic carrier component, in association with an anhydrous cation containing component, and, further, a hydraulic cement, wherein the deep eutectic solvent is a liquid or fluid at 10° C. or less.

2 . The substantially water free cement paste composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polar organic carrier component is chosen from glycerol, ethylene glycol, C 3 to C 18 alkane diols, urea, acetamide, 1-methyl urea, 1,3-dimethyl urea, thiourea, benzamide, carboxylic acids, polyols or carbohydrates, oligomers or polymers of a diol, oligomers or polymers of a polyol, oligomers or polymers of an organic acid, oligomers or polymers of a carbohydrate, oligourethanes, polypeptides, or two or more of these.

3 . The substantially water free cement paste composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polar organic carrier component is chosen from glycerol, polyalkoxylated glycerol, ethylene glycol, urea, acetamide, 1-methyl urea, 1,3 -dimethyl urea, thiourea, carbohydrates, or two or more of these.

4 . The substantially water free cement paste composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the amount of the polar organic carrier component in the deep eutectic solvent mixture ranges from 40 to 99 mol. %, with the remainder comprising the anhydrous cation containing component.

5 . The substantially water free cement paste composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the anhydrous cation containing component is chosen from non-toxic quaternary ammonium containing materials, ammonium salts, organoammonium salts, simple salts of metals, salts of cyanamide, metal cations combined with non-volatile amines, onium salts; metal cations combined with organic nitrides, metal cations combined with organic sulfonates, metal cations combined with organic sulphonyl group containing compounds, or two or more of these.

6 . The substantially water free cement paste composition as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the anhydrous cation containing component is chosen from choline chloride (ChCl), (hydroxyethyl) trimethylammonium chloride, ammonium chloride, 1 -n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium salts, metal carbonates, semi-metal carbonates, metal halides, semi-metal halides, metal nitrates, metal nitrites, metal sulphates, metal phosphates, salts of cyanamide, metal citrates, metal acetates, metal cations combined with non-volatile amines, benzyltriphenylphosphonium halides, metal cations combined with (CF 3 CO 2 ) 2 N, metal cations combined with trifluoromethanesulfonate, metal cations combined with bis(trifluoromethanesulphonyl) imide, metal cations combined with tris(trifluoromethanesulphonyl) methide, or two or more of any of these.

7 . The substantially water free cement paste composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the deep eutectic solvent mixture comprises K 2 CO 3 and glycerol in molar ratios of from 1:1 to 1:6, K 2 CO 3 and ethylene glycol in molar ratios of from 1:3 to 1:8 or K 2 CO 3 and propoxylated glycerol in molar ratios of from 1:16 to 1:30.

8 . The substantially water free cement paste composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic cement is chosen from Ordinary Portland cement, aluminate cement, sulpho-aluminate cement, gypsum and their mixtures.

9 . The substantially water free cement paste composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the amounts of the deep eutectic solvent mixture range from 20 to 80 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition.

10 . The substantially water free cement paste composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the amounts of the hydraulic cement solids range from 20 to 73 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition.
