524/4, Solid polymer or specified intermediate condensation product derived from at least one oxygen-containing reactant and which is devoid of a fused ring or bridged ring system106/695, With other cement material (e.g., Portland, calcium sulfate, etc.)524/5, Derived from carboxylic acid or derivative524/8Solid polymer derived from ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon only
This invention relates to improved aluminous cement/gypsum compositions that contain polymer latex emulsions or compounds to produce self-curing, crack-free, fast-setting, high early strength, high bonding, water resistant, durable, cementitious mixtures for finishing, coating, plastering, stucco, rigid insulation protection, topping, resurfacing, patching, motaring, tile grouting, concrete, and the like. In addition, this invention discloses a method for improving the properties and performance of aluminous cement/gypsum compositions by adding certain types, amounts and/or combinations of polymer latex emulsions or compounds with or without the addition of wet expansion and drying shrinkage inhibitors.
