Abstract

An improved method of manufacturing shaped objects from cement wherein cement is wetted with an aqueous solution of an acetone-formaldehyde resin, optionally including a water-soluble alcohol, the wet mixture molded to the desired shape and then cured preferably at a temperature within the range of 30.degree. C to 100.degree. C, wherein the bending strength of the finished product is improved by incorporating a metal soap in the composite prior to molding the wet mixture. Also disclosed is an improved composition of matter comprising Portland cement, an acetone-formaldehyde resin and a metal soap, and optionally containing an inorganic aggregate.
