Relationships between Exotherm Temperature and Working Life of Lightweight Polyester Mortars

경량 폴리머 모르타르의 발열온도특성과 가사시간의 관계

This paper deals with the relationships between the exotherm temperature and working life of lightweight polyester mortar. Polyester mortars using types of lightweight aggregate compositions are prepared, and tested for exotherm temperature during hardening and working life. It is concluded from the test results that the behavior of exotherm temperature of lightweight polyester mortars is considerably affected by the lightweight aggregate composition. The lightweight polyester mortars using a lightweight aggregate compositeion ES gradually develop an exotherm temperature from 2$0^{\circ}C$, and give a working life. Then the exotherm temperature rises sharply up to a maximum exotherm temperature. The working life of the lightweight polyester mortars shortens with increasing catalyst and accelerator contents. The maximum exotherm temperature of the lightweight polyester mortars rises with increasing catalyst and accelerator contents.
