Abstract
The article studies the features of the use of plasticizing additives based on polycarboxylate ether in the technology of additive construction production (3D printing). Layer-by-layer extrusion was carried out on an AMT S-6044 3D printer. The normal density and setting time of the cement paste, the average density, plastic strength and dimensional stability of the concrete mixture, the compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete were studied. It is shown that plasticizing additives based on polycarboxylate esters in the considered concentrations are effective modifiers of rheotechnological and physical and mechanical properties of cement concrete mixtures used in 3D printing technology. The greatest increase in compressive and flexural strength with the introduction of the studied polycarboxylate plasticizers is observed at PC CEM I 42.5N: the introduction of 0.5% "MasterGlenium 430" leads to an increase in compressive and flexural strength by 49.3% and 31.6%; with the introduction of "MasterGlenium 115" – by 21.6% and 35%; with the introduction of "MasterGlenium 591" – by 49.8% and 41.7%, respectively. Of interest for further research is the development of complex organo-mineral additives of multifunctional action based on polycarboxylate plasticizers for concretes molded by additive manufacturing (3D printing).

COMPOSITE BINDING MINERAL ADDITIVE INFLUENCE ON THE PLASTICIZER EFFICIENCY

Abstract
Replacing portland cement with composite binders in many construction spheres is becoming increasingly reasonable. A prerequisite for this is the ability to provide the binder with set of properties necessary for the most effective implementation of a particular practical task at minimum expense. Such optimization allows in some cases to achieve higher performance than the original cement, in others – to form new properties of the material, as well as provide direct or indirect savings of various resources. One of the most important parameters determining the strength characteristics of composites and their durability is the used binder water requirement. Furthermore in some cases the mixture must have certain rheological characteristics. Various types and generations plasticizing and water reducing additives are widely used to regulate these parameters. The article discusses relation of fine components electrosurface properties – the clinker component and various genetic types mineral additives for the main types of plasticizers magnitude diluting effect. The basic mechanisms and regularities are described, recommendations that allow to optimize the consumption of expensive additives or increasing their effectiveness in solving various practical problems are formulated.
