The invention discloses a water-retaining, thickening and reinforcing additive for
cement mortar and
cement mortar containing the additive, wherein the additive is corn
straw cellulose or / and modified corn
straw cellulose. The water-retaining, thickening and reinforcing additive for
cement mortar and the
cement mortar containing the additive, disclosed by the invention, have the beneficial effects that the water-retaining, thickening and reinforcing additive for
cement mortar is a
green environment-friendly product which is free from
toxicity, peculiar smell,
pollution and corrosivity; if the water-retaining, thickening and reinforcing additive for
cement mortar, disclosed by the invention, is doped into cement mortar, the water-retaining property of mortar can be effectively improved; the water-retaining property of freshly mixed mortar is more than 90% and meets standard requirements; simultaneously, the intensity of mortar is obviously increased; the use amount of cement is effectively reduced; the intensity of mortar is increased by above 25%; the 14d tensile
adhesive intensity is increased by above 13%; the cost of the water-retaining and thickening material is reduced by above 16%; a utilization way of the industrial by-product, namely
cellulose, separated from corn straws, is effectively provided; furthermore, the utilization value is higher. The cost of the water-retaining, thickening and reinforcing additive for cement mortar, disclosed by the invention, is 4000-8000 yuan /
ton, and the water-retaining, thickening and reinforcing additive for cement mortar, disclosed by the invention, is wide in source of used raw materials, proper in cost, convenient to use, high in
operability and beneficial to popularization.
