ABSTRACT
The paper is devoted to the research of decorative multicomponent cements and
Roman cement for finishing mortars that are characterized by improved quality
parameters. The use of fine mineral additives allows to obtain multicomponent low
energy consumption cements. The chemical composition of multicomponent cement
is similar to Roman cement. XRD and SEM carried out on cement paste allow the
identification of the AFm and AFt type phases as hydration products responsible of
the flash setting typical to multicomponent cement. The results of physical and
mechanical properties of multicomponent cement and Roman cement are shown.
The use of decorative multicomponent cement is an alternative solution, suitable for
restoration, finish works and to decorate facades.
