Influence on the Degradation Products on the Hydration Delay Induced by HEC Cellulose Ethers

Cellulose ethers are polymers frequently used in mortar formulations, mainly for workability and water retention improvements. Hydration delay is a secondary and uncontrolled effect induced by some cellulose ethers. In order to rationalize their use in mortars, data on the mechanism of hydration delay should be collected. This study examines. This study examines a way to explain the hydration delay of cement induced by hydroxyl ethyl cellulose (HEC) admixtures.
