Abstract
Disclosed are wax emulsion modifiers for concrete and cement formulations and methods for preparing the same. The modifiers are applicable to roller compacted concrete (RCC), used for manufacturing of industrial floor slabs, dams and roads. This invention also relates to conventional Portland cement concrete mix designs or other applied concrete mixes for formed structural shapes and transport road mix designs, providing a more rapid dehydration of the aqueous phase, without sacrificing strength, yet providing a higher density that remains workable at the point of application. The modifier of the invention may be utilized for either the initial soil/cement base or for the final/finished placement.
