ABSTRACT
The paper is devoted to the research of decorative multicomponent cements and Roman cement for finishing mortars that are characterized by improved quality parameters. The use of fine mineral additives allows to obtain multicomponent low energy consumption cements. The chemical composition of multicomponent cement is similar to Roman cement. XRD and SEM carried out on cement paste allow the identification of the AFm and AFt type phases as hydration products responsible of the flash setting typical to multicomponent cement. The results of physical and mechanical properties of multicomponent cement and Roman cement are shown. The use of decorative multicomponent cement is an alternative solution, suitable for restoration, finish works and to decorate facades.
