Review article

This article presents the results of a study of the possibility of using additives based on low molecular weight amines (isopropanolamines, diethanolisopropanolamine, triisopropanolamine) in building materials technology. The aim of the study is to find the optimal field of application of additives based on amino alcohols. The results of the study of additives on the properties of building mixtures based on Portland cement are presented. The range of studied dosages is 0,025-1 % of cement weight. The influence on the mobility of mortars, as well as on the compressive strength at the age of 7, 28, 56 days, was studied. The work was carried out both on mobile and rigid mixtures. The result of the work is an analysis of the effectiveness of the use of additives as plasticizers.
