Plastering mortars

Into this category come the water-based plasters, mortars, cements and concretes which set at room temperature as the result of a chemical reaction between water and a powder. Some of these have been known...

Concrete, plaster, mortar, and cements also cause superficial etching of aluminum, most of which occurs during the curing period. The surface attack involves dissolution of the natural oxide film and some of the metal, but a new film is formed that prevents further corrosion. Coupling with more cathodic metals has little effect on aluminum embedded in these materials except in those that contain certain curing or antifreeze additives. 

Mixed with sand it hardens as mortar and plaster by taking up carbon dioxide from the air. Calcium from limestone is an important element in Portland cement. 

Although the use of simple diluents and adulterants almost certainly predates recorded history, the use of fillers to modify the properties of a composition can be traced as far back as eady Roman times, when artisans used ground marble in lime plaster, frescoes, and po22olanic mortar. The use of fillers in paper and paper coatings made its appearance in the mid-nineteenth century. Functional fillers, which introduce new properties into a composition rather than modify pre-existing properties, were commercially developed eady in the twentieth century when Goodrich added carbon black to mbber and Baekeland formulated phenol— formaldehyde plastics with wood dour. 

Any of these mortars can be used for unit masonry or for stucco (exterior plaster). The finish coat in conventional interior plastering is composed of either neat time putty or a sanded putty, gauged with Keene s cement or gypsum-gauging plaster. The former is called a whitecoat finish the latter a sandfloat finish. 

Hydraulic limes (84) may be used for mortar, stucco, or the scratch coat for plaster. They harden slowly under water, whereas high calcium limes, after slaking with water, harden in air to form the carbonate but not under water at ordinary temperatures. However, at elevated temperatures achieved with steam curing, lime—silica sand mixtures do react to produce durable products such as sand—lime bricks. 

Concrete, Mortar, and Plaster. Citric acid and citrate salts are used as admixtures in concrete, mortar, and plaster formulations to retard setting times and reduce the amount of water requited to make a workable mixture (172—180). The citrate ion slows the hydration of Portland cement and acts as a dispersant, reducing the viscosity of the system (181). At levels below 0.1%, citrates accelerate the setting rate while at 0.2—0.4% the set rate is retarded. High early strength and improved frost resistance have been reported when adding citrate to concrete, mortar, and plaster.

Embedment in, or contact with, various building materials Metal components may be embedded in various building mortars, plasters, concrete or floor compositions, or else may be in contact with these. Similarly, they may be in contact with materials such as other metals, wood, etc. 

The process is called slaking the lime and it is used by plasterers in preparing mortar, which requires Ca(OH)2. As water is added to lime there is a considerable evolution of heat, as evidenced by wisps of steam that rise from the sample. 

Three other compounds of s-block elements—calcium oxide (CaO, known as lime ), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and sodium carbonate (Na2 CO3)—are among the top 15 industrial chemicals in annual production. Lime is perennially in the top 10 because it is the key ingredient in construction materials such as concrete, cement, mortar, and plaster. Two other compounds, calcium chloride (CaCl2 ) and sodium sulfate (Na2 SO4 ), rank just below the top 50 in industrial importance. 

Mortars are cements used for bonding together masonry units, such as stones or bricks. When a cement is used to conceal masonry, as a more or less smooth covering on walls, for example, it is referred to as plaster. A very fine plaster, known as stucco, is made of very thin sand or finely comminuted marble. Freshly prepared plasters and stuccos are spread on consolidated masonry to form more or less uniform and smooth layers stucco also provides a smooth and often flat outer coating. 

Likewise, the calcination of gypsum drives away water. Calcinating gypsum (composed of hydrated calcium sulfate) causes that part of the water combined with the calcium sulfate to evaporate, leaving a solid, friable residue usually known as plaster of Paris (composed of calcium sulfate hemihydrate) plaster of Paris is used as a cement and mortar as well as an efficient casting material (see Textbox 35). 

Plaster of Paris has long been used as a casting material, a cement, and a mortar. If mixed with water, plaster of Paris forms a very soft and pliable mixture. After a very short time, lasting only 5-8 minutes, the wet, pliable mixture sets, that is, it hardens into a stable, firm solid. The setting process entails the incorporation of water molecules (a process known as hydration) into the calcium sulfate hemihydrate and the consequent formation and crystallization of hydrated sulfate of calcium. In other words, when water is added to plaster of Paris, the two combine, again forming gypsum, which soon crystallizes into a hard solid mass ...
