Dear collegues,

I’m dealing with OPC-BFS system activation by C-S-H seeds.

I need a lot of C-S-H seeds to improve the early hydration of this system.

It seems that the addition of calcium formate optimizes the reaction between C-S-H seeds and BFS.

I reduced the C-S-H amount by calcium formate increasing: the results were excellent.

I’d like to know what kind of reaction occours and its effect on system hydration.

Can anyone help me about this?

Can you eventually suggest me publications about this reaction?

Tanks a lot!
