What products are obtained after hydration of cement?

Best Answers

Main products obtained after Cement Hydration are Calcium Silicate Hydrate Gel (CSH) & Calcium Hydroxide. But small amount of Monosulfate, Monocarbonate & Ettringite are also obtained. read more

The products of the reaction between cement and water are termed "hydration products." In concrete (or mortar or other cementitious materials) there are typically four main types: Calcium silicate hydrate: this is the main reaction product and is the main source of concrete strength. read more

HYDRATION OF CEMENT It is the reaction (s eries of chemical reactions) of cement with water to form the binding material. In other words, in the presence of water, the silicates (C3S and C2S) and aluminates (C3A and C4AF) form products of hydration which in time produce a firm and hard mass -the hydrated cement paste. read more

After a period of several hours the early-forming ettringite converts to monosulfoaluminate via eq. 5.5, allowing the C 3 A to undergo renewed rapid hydration, with kinetics that are roughly similar to the main hydration peak of C 3 S (stages 3 and 4). read more
