Im Mörtellabor wird ein Fließrinnentest vorbereitet. Hierzu wird Fließmittel in die Mörtelmasse gemischt. Der Test gibt Aufschluss über die Konsistenz des Baustoffs. Eingesetzt wird besonders fließfähiger Mörtel beispielsweise als Estrich- oder als Maschinenvergussmörtel. Damit er optimal verarbeitet werden kann, muss der Mörtel eine homogene Konsistenz haben und diese über einen bestimmten Zeitraum beibehalten. Fließ- und Zusatzmittel der BASF helfen dabei. Das Bauchemie-Kompetenzzentrum der BASF in Trostberg wurde Anfang 2007 zur globalen Forschungsplattform Polymers for Inorganics³ ausgebaut. Rund hundert Neuentwicklungen pro Jahr verstärken unter anderem das Produktportfolio der Bauchemie. Abdruck honorarfrei. Copyright by BASF. A gutter test is prepared in the mortar laboratory. Plasticizers are added to the mortar mixture. The test shows the consistency of the mortar. Highly flowable mortar is used for floor screeds or non-shrink grouts, for example. To be optimally processed, the mortar must have a homogeneous consistency and retain this over a specific period of time. BASF plasticizers and admixtures help to do this. At the beginning of 2007, BASF¹s Competence Center for Construction Chemicals in Trostberg, Germany, was developed to become the BASF global research platform ³Polymers for Inorganics.² Around 100 new developments per year help to strengthen the product portfolio of BASF¹s Construction Chemicals division.
