INVESTIGATION PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MAGNESIUMOXYCHLORIDE CEMENT (SOREL CEMENT)

Magnetite non-hydraulic cement batch of cement are due to special applications such as refractory materials and applications in medicine, the use of which is common in developed countries. This cement is the result of mixing two substances MgO - H2O and a metal salt is magnesium used in three different categories based on magnesia-phosphate cement (MPC), magnesium oxychloride sulfate (MOS) and magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC). In this paper, the effect of additives and setting time on water resistance and compressive strength of cement magnesium oxychloride were used. The results indicate that increasing the setting time and the use of the two additive increases the mechanical strength of the cement.
