Triethanolamine and triisopropanolamine on slag cement impact of hydration process The slag cement has the advantages of low hydration heat, high late strength, inhibition of alkali aggregate reaction, and resistance to sulfate corrosion, and has been applied in a large number of projects. When producing slag cement, because the slag is more greasy than the clinker, the best active particle size can not be achieved when co-grinding, and the single grinding will cause a lot of energy consumption, so it is used in the grinding process. Grinding aids to reduce grinding energy consumption and improve cement performance. Triethanolamine (TEA) and Triisopropanolamine (TIPA) are the main components of common grinding aids.
