| abstract |
This invention relates to improved aluminous cement/gypsum compositions that contain polymer latex emulsions or compounds to produce self-curing, crack-free, fast-setting, high early strength, high bonding, water resistant, durable, cementitious mixtures for finishing, coating, plastering, stucco, rigid insulation protection, topping, resurfacing, patching, motaring, tile grouting, concrete, and the like. In addition, this invention discloses a method for improving the properties and performance of aluminous cement/gypsum compositions by adding certain types, amounts and/or combinations of polymer latex emulsions or compounds with or without the addition of wet expansion and drying shrinkage inhibitors. |
