Process for spraying concrete or mortar

摘要

Concrete or mortar is sprayed onto a surface by adding an aqueous suspension of silica, and an aluminium cpd. selected from aluminium sulphate, basic aluminium sulphate, alkali metal aluminium sulphate or their mixts.. The suspension has a pH of less than 4, and contains 10-50 wt.% dry material. After storing for 48 hrs., it forms a gel which can be converted back into a suspension by mild stirring.
