Abstract
A composition is supplied for filling pot holes and other types of structural deterioration. The composition consist of hydraulic cement and an alkali metal silicate. The silicate includes a molar ratio of silican dioxide to alkali metal oxide from 0.4 to 4.0. The silicate is in a concentration ranging from 0.2 to 20 percent by weight of the cement. A method is also provided which comprises repairing a deteriorating structure by inserting therein a cementitious composition and controlling the rate of setting of the composition by the inclusion therein of sodium silicate in the molar ratio of silicon dioxide to sodium oxide of from 0.4 to 4.0.
Claims1
A composition comprising a portland type cement, a metallic fluosilicate, and a sodium silicate composition, said sodium silicate composition being characterized by a SiO.sub.2 -Na.sub.2 O molar ratio randing from approximately 0.5 to approximately 3.0 and being in a concentration range of from 0.5 to 15 percent by weight of the total composition.
