The effect of glucose and some glucose oxidation products on tricalcium aluminate hydration has been studied. The results are in agreement with the theory that stabilization of hexagonal C,AH13 determines the retardation. It is assumed that the glucose oxidation products are more effective retarders

Acceleration by sugars and related compounds has been noted previously in C3A hydration (I) and cement hydration ( 2), but at levels much lower than that suggested by Dr. Bensted. Care is usually taken to avoid the rapid temperature rise and subsequent flash set. In C~A hydration, addition of sugar
In the discussed paper,~)the ~ author describes and interprets effects induced by the presence of some admixtures on the hydration o£ a portland cement. Additional information is certainly needed to clari~y mechanisms of cement-admixture interactions. However, we consider the interpretations and con
