Abstract:

Based on desulfurized gypsum, the waterproof agent developed by modifying polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) catalyzed by liquid alkali activated Polymethyl hydrogen siloxane (PMHS) cooperated with portland cement to develop high-strength waterproof gypsum. The effects of modified PVA waterproofing agent and portland cement on the surface water absorption, mechanical properties and softening coefficient of desulfurization gypsum standard test block were investigated. The connection form of strong waterproof gypsum developed by modified hydrophobic agent and portland cement independently and cooperatively was determined by infrared spectrum. The influence of different additives on the thermal stability of gypsum was analyzed by thermogravimetry. The research shows that the best ratio of modified PVA waterproof agent and portland cement to produce high-strength waterproof gypsum is: waterproof agent 120 g and portland cement 150 g. At this time, the surface water absorption rate is 9.35%, the absolute dry compressive strength is 22.54 MPa, and the softening coefficient is 67.57%. At the same time, the thermal stability of gypsum board is effectively improved.
