摘要 |
The present invention provides aqueous compositions that are stable after at least a 24 hour period comprising a polysaccharide viscosity modifying additive and more than 60 wt.%, based on the weight ot total solids in the compositions of one or more polycarboxylate ether, the compositions comprising an acid chosen from an organic acid having 1 hydroxy group or less, a strong acid containing a single hydrogen, an ascorbic acid, and mixtures thereof, the compositions having a pH of less than the pH of the polycarboxylate ether itself, or from 1.0 to 6.0. The present invention enables stable concentrates of aqueous polycarboxylate ethers and polysachharide viscosity modifying agents for use in hydraulic binder applications, the compositions having a total solids content of 10 wt.% to as high as 65 wt.%. |
