Abstract

A method is disclosed for making low-porosity, free-flowing cement pastes with extended set times, improved workability and reduced expansion due to alkali aggregate reactions by combining hydraulic cements, especially portland-type cements, ground without gypsum with from 0.1 to about 1.0% of an alkali or alkaline earth lignosulfonate or sulfonated lignin, and 0.1 to 2.0% of an alkali bicarbonate, and combining with 20 to 40% water. Mixtures of aggregates with such low-porosity pastes made according to this process produce very workable mortars and concretes with extended set times and upon hardening have reduced expansion.
