Surface-active substances on the properties of repair and restoration solutions, mixtures and compositions
Incoming article date: 06.08.2025The article considers the influence of surfactants on the physicochemical and technological properties of repair and restoration solutions, mixtures and compositions and the areas of their application. Particular attention is paid to the mechanisms of interaction of surfactants with solid and liquid phases in repair composites, including the processes of hydrophobization and hydrophilization of surfaces, adsorption, peptization and change in the contact angle. The influence of surfactants on the value of water demand, strength, water resistance and frost resistance of binders, mixtures and compositions is described. The parameters determining the efficiency of surfactant application, as well as quantitative estimates of the surface of dispersed components and their effect on the consumption of additives are given.
Keywords: surfactants, repair and restoration solutions, hydrophobization, hydrophilization, wetting, adsorption, rheology, water demand, additives
