Cement mineral additives, also known as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), are materials added to cement to modify its properties, improve concrete's durability, and reduce cement consumption.
A "curing-free" cement additive, often referred to as a self-curing additive, helps cement and concrete achieve their desired properties without the need for traditional curing methods, like keeping the concrete wet.
High-performance cement additives, also known as High-Performance Concrete (HPC) Additives, are specialized chemical or mineral compounds added to concrete mixtures to enhance specific properties beyond what can be achieved with traditional concrete.
