Abstract

Cementation slurries well suited for encasing reinforcing elements therefor, for example prestressed steel cable, while reducing the risk of embrittlement thereof, contain from about 1.5% to 3% by weight of homogenizing and exudation-reducing hydrophilic particulates (e.g., precipitated silica particles) that are inert in respect of liquids, have a specific surface area of greater than about 200 m.sup.2 /g and which are fragmentable during mixing and/or injection into multiple fragments having particle sizes ranging from about 5 to 300 nanometers.
