The researchers of the Polar State University have developed a line of plaster and paint facade coatings for Arctic conditions. Special compositions have high strength and resistance to atmospheric wear, ttelegraf.ru reports.
Mikhail Yelesin, Head of the Department of Construction, Heat and Gas Supply at the Polar University, has developed the technology and composition of fast-hardening concretes containing waste from the metallurgical industry, which are characterized by high hardening rate, good performance properties and sulfate resistance.
During his work on the research, Yelesin received six patents for his inventions.
"Together we have repeatedly tested polysulfide solutions on construction sites in the city to confirm the scientific novelty of the work. The results showed a tremendous strength gain. Under normal conditions concrete should solidify for about 28 days, while during the experiment it only required three days," said Anvar Nizamutdinov, head of the Department of Capital Repairs and Construction of the city of Norilsk.
