Generac 4Q powered by Superstorm Sandy, acquisitions

- Reporter- Milwaukee Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
Superstorm Sandy and the cumulative impact of other significant storms in recent years generated another high-powered quarter for Generac Holdings Inc.
Generac (NYSE: GNRC), the Genesee-based generator and engine-powered products manufacturer, posted a 28 percent fourth-quarter increase in sales to $342 million. That was well above analysts' consensus estimate of $309 million, said Milwaukee-based Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. financial analyst Michael Halloran in a research note issued Friday.
Generac executives often talk about how widespread power outages drive immediate demand for portable generators, followed by longer-term demand for home standby generators because consumers decide they don't want to be caught powerless in the next significant storm.
"This afterglow can last for several quarters thereafter and finally settle into a new and higher baseline of demand due to the awareness and additional distribution points created as a result of the outage," said Generac CFO York Ragen during a earnings call last week with investors, according to a Seeking Alpha transcription.
Generac's residential sales were driven by "heightened demand for portable and home standby generators due to significant awareness events," most recently Sandy, as well as expanded distribution, "modest" power washer sales and strong company execution, Halloran said.
The company's commercial and industrial sales were up on increased national account shipments for standby generators and mobile power equipment, Halloran said.
Performance by Magnum Products, the Berlin-based manufacturer of high-quality light towers and mobile generators that Generac acquired in 2011, and the recent Ottomotores UK Ltd. acquisition also contributed to revenue in the quarter. Ottomotores has Mexican and Brazilian generator manufacturing operations.

A Homerun in Arlington
Case Study >>> Mortars, Mixtures and Staining
A Homerun in Arlington
QUIKRETE's Red Ranger mortar mix helps rebuild backstop and update main concourse concessions at Texas Rangers Ballpark.
Fans attending Texas Rangers home games during the 2013 Major League Baseball season are experiencing the contests at a new-look ballpark in Arlington. Originally opened in 1994, the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington was updated prior to this season with masonry work to the backstop, concession stands, club level dining, ticket box offices and lounge for season ticket holders using QUIKRETE products, including specially formulated, pre-blended Ranger Red mortar mix.
In addition to providing the specialty mortar mix, mason contractor TST Construction Services counted on QUIKRETE to overcome time and space restrictions in installing more than 7,500 square feet of bricks, blocks and cast stone in time for the team's 53rd season.
"We had about three weeks to mobilize with shop drawings, special order products and custom color mortar to meet the tight schedule of completing the project before the baseball season started," says Michael Pinson, project manager for TST Construction Services. "Additional challenges included limited access to the field and limited staging area for products. To assist with the space restriction, QUIKRETE provided a mini silo system that not only required very little room for mixing and pouring, but also enhanced labor and material efficiency on the job."
QUIKRETE provided the following products for the Ballpark in Arlington project:
- 20, 80-pound bags of white Portland Lime Type N (PLN) Mortar
- 225, 80-pound bags of Ranger Red PLN Mortar
- 252, 80-pound bags of Course Grout
- 210, 80-pound bags of gray Portland Line Type S (PLS) Mortar
- 378, 80-pound bags of white PLS Mortar
- 22, 3,000-pound bulk bags of white Fine Grout.
QUIKRETE says many of its materials have been used on unique, high-profile masonry projects, including the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Texas, Miami Marlins Ballpark in Florida, the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., and Georgia Aquarium.

Perennial or Annual Hibiscus?
I got some seed pods shaped like large Hicory Nuts, and inside each 'lobe' were 6-8 dark brown seeds. Having seen the large flowers last year, I know that these were growing on individual, 3' tall large-leaved plants, not a 'hibiscus' or Rose of Sharon tree. My Mother in Law in Northern Indiana called them 'hibiscus'---large white flowers, about 5" across, but I can't find similar pictures on the Web. She had gotten some roots from a friend the year before, and didn't know if the plants were annual or perennial.
It seems late to finally try to get the seeds to germinate, but if they at least start to grow and maybe return next year it will be worth it. Or, if they are simply some kind of self-seeding annual, I may freeze the seeds and start fresh next spring.
Would anyone possibly know what this plant is, and if it is an annual or perennial?
It is Hibiscus moscheutos. THey come in various shades of white, pink, and red.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hibiscus moscheutos pics
Just FYI:
H. moscheutos, aka Rose Mallow, is the main herbaceous perennial species, although most of the newer varieties are hybrids of this one and others. These are typically hardy to zone 5.
H. rosa-sinensis is the "tropical" house or patio plant. There are dozens of varieties.
H. syriacus is the shrub aka Rose of Sharon.
FWIW, one of my favourite of the hardy perennial types, is a white-flowered form called 'Blue River II'. The flowers were pure white, and they continued for an extended period compared with others.

Special Value Selection: Clear, vivid red; the fragrant, aromatic bouquet leads into a light to medium-bodied palate, full of juicy red fruit flavours tailor-made for early drinking, although there are enough fine tannins on the finish to sustain it for a couple of years in the bottle, or match it with hearty food. Excellent value.
A unique blend of Shiraz, Grenache and Tempranillo that all do extremely well in the warm Swan Valley climate. This wine captures the richness and power of Swan Valley fruit, while retaining lots and freshness and spice. A medium-bodied wine showing exotic berry fruits, spices, truffle, sandal wood and cracked peppercorns. A great accompaniment to grilled or cured meats. Such an exciting little wine that offers lots of character and layers of flavor for a very modest price point thanks to our direct import.

NFC South: retirement
Conversation with Kris Jenkins
I recently discussed with Kris Jenkins his reasons for retiring from the NFL. Jenkins, who played for the Carolina Panthers and New York Jets, was named to four Pro Bowls during his 10-year career.
Morgan retirement a relief
As I headed to New Orleans Saints minicamp last week, the guy I looked most forward to seeing was linebacker Dan Morgan.
I had the luxury of covering Morgan for his first seven NFL seasons when he played for the Carolina Panthers and truly believe he's one of the most genuine people I've ever met.
That's why I put in a request to interview him Friday. Truth is, I didn't really want to interview him. I just wanted to say hello and catch up on old times. I never got the chance.
By Friday afternoon, coach Sean Payton announced that Morgan, who uncharacteristically never showed in the locker room, had strained a calf muscle and I just rolled my eyes and thought, "Here we go again.'' But, thankfully, Morgan put a stop to it Monday afternoon.
Agent Drew Rosenahus announced Morgan's retirement via his Twitter account.
I'm going to say the exact same thing I said just about a year ago when Morgan announced his retirement the first time. This is the best day of the offseason.
I say that because, despite all of Morgan's previous talk about how healthy he was and how much he wanted to return to football, this is best for him. And his family.
Yeah, Morgan had a right to play football if he wanted and he was the only one who could really make that decision. From a distance, it was easy to sit back and think about the fact he's had at least five concussions. And think about his long-term health, his wife and children. It was easy to think it was crazy for him to even step on a football field.
But none of that mattered as long as Morgan thought he should be playing football. Now, he sees it differently and that's a wonderful thing. It's always sad to see a great player walk away.
But, in this case, there's joy because Morgan was able to walk away before it was too late.
Bucs losing original employee
Posted by ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas
Very quietly, a man who has been with the Buccaneers since their start, is leaving the franchise.
The team announced Tuesday that team physician Dr. Joe Diaco will retire this week after 33 seasons. Diaco has worked with the Bucs since 1976 and has been their chief physician since 1978.
"Dr. Diaco has been an important fixture in this organization since its inception, and he will be missed," general manager Mark Dominik said. "We are truly indebted to him for his tireless dedication over the last 33 years, and wish him all the best in retirement."
Diaco may not have been very visible to fans, but he was very much a part of this franchise. Around the league, a lot of team doctors may stop by practice once in a while and show up on game day. But Diaco was a very hands-on doctor and showed up for many of Tampa Bay's practices.
In retirement, Weiner still helping Falcons
Posted by ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas
This one's just a formality, but it's a good one for the Atlanta Falcons.
The team already had announced the retirement of offensive lineman Todd Weiner after last season. It was expected because Weiner had squeezed just about everything he could from his playing days and his body didn't have much left.
But, in a way, Weiner gave the Falcons something more Tuesday. He officially filed his retirement papers and was placed on the reserve/retired list. All that may not seem very significant, but it is. With Weiner officially retired, the Falcons now have cleared an additional $1.75 in salary-cap space.
Atlanta offensive tackle Weiner retires
It may not seem like a big deal because Weiner was a pretty ordinary player for 11 seasons. But sometimes ordinary is good. Weiner joined the Falcons in 2002 and was with Seattle from 1998 through 2001.
He started 118 of 152 career games and did some of his best work last season. Although Weiner played through a knee problem, he was a crucial contributor and played a bigger role than the Falcons ever expected. Weiner was supposed to spend last season as a backup to rookie left tackle Sam Baker and right tackle Tyson Clabo.
But injuries forced Weiner to start 11 games and he helped the Falcons rush for 2,443 yards (second in the league) and the ground game scored a franchise-record 23 touchdowns. Weiner also helped the offensive line protect rookie quarterback Matt Ryan quite nicely. Atlanta allowed a franchise-low 17 sacks last season.
"Todd Weiner epitomizes toughness, grit and everything a championship caliber football player should be," said Falcons head coach Mike Smith. "As good of a player as Todd was for the Falcons, he was an even better person in our community through a variety of highly publicized charitable endeavors working with children. He will be sorely missed by our football team on and off the field, but one thing is for certain -- Todd will always be a Falcon."
This move isn't going to make or break the Falcons, but it does leave a void. Weiner gave Atlanta's offensive line a lot of depth and that's now something the Falcons will have to add in the offseason.
Lynch's perfect career ends perfectly
|Craig Jones/Getty Images
|John Lynch officially ended a decorated career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
TAMPA, Fla. -- For more than an hour Monday, the memories -- and even a few tears -- flowed. Then a video highlight presentation covered all the familiar ground. And it ended the only way it could -- with John Lynch hoisting a Super Bowl trophy. That was only fitting because, on the surface, John Lynch is perfect.
As he walked away from a possible Hall of Fame football career (he once gave up a promising baseball career), everything looked perfect. His beautiful wife and four children sat in the front row as Lynch gave a speech most politicians could only dream of.
He's going to walk into the broadcast booth this weekend and, undoubtedly, be successful. Lynch wouldn't even rule out a future in politics, although he did laugh (rather lightly) at rumors that he's going to run for governor of Colorado.
But on the day Lynch officially retired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, we found out for the first time he's not perfect. Very close, but not quite.
Lynch, who didn't even seem to sweat when he played football, told two stories that never had been fully told before. The first involved former Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy, who might be the only person in the NFL who appears more perfect than Lynch.
But, now, it looks like Lynch and Dungy each have lied at least once in their lives. Of course, Lynch tried to cushion the blow by first apologizing to the media for an incident in 1998 that was reported as an on-field injury.
It happened on the Saturday before a game as Lynch and defensive tackle Brad Culpepper were having an impromptu kicking contest. Culpepper made a field goal from 30 yards and Lynch followed. Culpepper nailed another field goal from 40 and Lynch did the same.
After Culpepper hit from 50, Lynch blew out his quadriceps muscle. Dungy wasn't happy that his starting strong safety wouldn't be a factor.
"Coach Dungy was nice enough to say to the media that John Lynch pulled his quad on the first play of the game,'' Lynch said.
With one skeleton out of the closet, Lynch released another. He told a story that had been sort of known, but never truly detailed, for many years. It's a lesson in the chemistry of a football team and a lesson in life.
There haven't been two more contrasting personalities in the history of the Bucs than Lynch and defensive tackle Warren Sapp. Lynch was born to parents who owned radio and television stations throughout Southern California. Lynch grew up in Del Mar, Calif., which is as posh as the name suggests.
Sapp grew up in hard-scrabble Apopka, Fla., which is even more desolate than the name might suggest. As polished and tame as Lynch always was off the field, Sapp was the exact opposite and the two clashed.
Back in the mid-1990s, some people who flew on team flights used to tell stories of Sapp relentlessly picking on Lynch. Sapp called Lynch things like "pretty boy'' and "rich guy'' and often made mention of a silver spoon.
It got ugly on a flight in 1996 as Lynch tired of the taunts.
"I think (Trent) Dilfer and (Derrick) Brooks were there to catch my right arm,'' Lynch said.
The stories at the time suggested Lynch's fist did make contact with Sapp's face, but the details really don't matter now.
"After that, Warren said, 'All right, you can go to war with me','' Lynch said.
Lynch and Sapp grew close after that and they (along with Brooks, Dungy, Dilfer, Warrick Dunn, Mike Alstott and Ronde Barber) helped turn one of the league's worst franchises into one of its best.
So there you have it. Lynch once lied and once threw a punch. You knew there had to be a flaw there somewhere. But that's it. Nine Pro Bowls, 26 interceptions, dozens -- maybe hundreds -- of bone-jarring hits. A perfect career and a perfect life.
"In John Lynch, we had someone with Hall of Fame character,'' said Bucs vice president Joel Glazer "We had someone with Hall of Fame dedication. We had someone who had Hall of Fame involvement in the community. On the field, we had someone, who week in and week out, had Hall of Fame play.''
Is Lynch a Hall of Famer? That's a debate for another time -- he won't be eligible for five years.
But, as you looked around the auditorium at One Buccaneer Place, there was no doubt that Lynch, who left the team bitterly in 2004, had a huge impact on the Bucs and Tampa. Lining the chairs and the walls were Bucs past and present, from Doug Williams to Brooks, Dunn and Barber. There was Tampa sports royalty, from Monsignor Laurence Higgins ("the sports priest'') to Tom McEwen, the legendary former sports editor of The Tampa Tribune and an instrumental figure in Tampa getting a franchise in 1976.
Sapp couldn't make it because of a commitment with "Dancing With the Stars'', but even current coach Jon Gruden and general manager Bruce Allen, the duo who ran Lynch out of town, showed up and smiled. (For the record, Allen seemed to be the only person in the room or in the league that Lynch didn't thank.)
Who else could have pulled this collection together and made it one of the most special days in franchise history? Maybe Alstott, maybe Brooks, but that's it.
Throughout his playing days, Lynch never was one to pat himself on the back. He finally did just a little of that near the end of his speech.
"I'm proud of the way I played my career,'' Lynch said.
Lynch should be proud. He more than earned that right.
Lynch will always be big part of Bucs' history
Posted by ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas
TAMPA, Fla. -- In the early to mid-1990s, being a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was no fun. Covering them as a sports writer, where it's not supposed to matter if the team you cover wins or loses, was pure drudgery.
That's because the Bucs were beyond bad. Walking into the locker room in those days was miserable. First off, the locker room was in the old One Buc Place, where part of the weight room was outside on a porch and it wasn't uncommon to see rats in the hallways.
Coach Sam Wyche was coming apart at the seams and the players (we're talking the likes of Tyji Armstrong and Alvin Harper) were running the team. And double-digit losses in a season were the norm.
There weren't many smiles out at One Buc Place in those days, except from my co-worker and mentor at The Tampa Tribune, the great Nick Pugliese, who always was in a good mood.
And John Lynch.
Back in those days, Lynch was a breathe of fresh air in a place that desperately needed it. In a very bad situation, the young safety brought class and dignity. He didn't play a lot under Wyche and Lynch even admitted he was having doubts about his decision to give up a career in baseball.

DHS Management and Administration Spending:
Reliable Data Could Help DHS Better Estimate Resource Requests
GAO-14-27: Published: Dec 4, 2013. Publicly Released: Jan 3, 2014.

What GAO Found
Officials from all eight Department of Homeland Security (DHS) components in GAO's review define management and administration (M&A) activities--activities that help agencies achieve their mission and program goals--differently, and while component officials said they can identify M&A spending, limitations exist in obtaining spending data from fiscal years 1999 through 2013. Officials from four of the eight components define their M&A activities according to the activities funded through their appropriations accounts and programs, projects, or activities (PPA) that are M&A in nature. For example, officials from the Transportation Security Administration said its M&A activities are those found within three PPAs within its Transportation Security Support appropriations account. The remaining four components each define M&A activities differently, and those definitions are not tied to activities contained in specific appropriations accounts. For example, the Coast Guard's M&A activities are those associated with headquarters and its service centers (e.g., personnel support), according to officials. According to component officials, the eight components GAO reviewed can identify their M&A spending, but currently do not because they are not required to do so by the department. Officials from seven of the eight components said they could provide M&A spending data for some, but not all, fiscal years since 1999 because of changes in their financial systems, among other reasons. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials stated that FEMA could provide data since fiscal year 1999. Because components define M&A differently, have different methods for identifying spending, and limitations exist in obtaining data, it is not possible to compare components' M&A spending data from fiscal years 1999 through 2013.
DHS has not identified the department's total spending on M&A activities, but has identified some M&A spending through DHS's Efficiency Review--an effort to identify opportunities to improve efficiency--and the Campaign to Cut Waste--a government-wide effort to reduce administrative spending. DHS is also taking steps to define and collect data on M&A activities, but has encountered difficulties in implementing these steps. Specifically, in 2010, DHS developed a common definition of M&A in conjunction with the Future Years Homeland Security Program (FYHSP) System Program Data Module (PDM) for components to submit resource allocation requests for future years by activity type: mission/operational, mission support, and business support/M&A. However, DHS is unable to reliably estimate what percentage of its requests are identified as M&A because 4 out of 15 components did not enter all appropriate business support/M&A activities and 1 component did not enter any business support/M&A activities, among other errors, which DHS officials said are a result of manual data entry and components not adhering to the guidance in the user manual. DHS does not have a mechanism in place to work with the components to correct data errors in the FYHSP System PDM. By implementing a mechanism to assess whether components have entered the appropriate M&A activities into the PDM, and working with the components to correct the data, as needed, DHS would be better positioned to reliably estimate and report to external stakeholders what percentage of DHS's resource allocations requests are identified as M&A.
Why GAO Did This Study
DHS is the third-largest federal department, with budget authority of approximately $60 billion. Since its inception in 2003, DHS has faced challenges strengthening its multiple management systems and processes. Some Members of Congress said that DHS's components' budget requests do not provide sufficient detail to allow them to distinguish between funding for mission and M&A activities. GAO was asked to provide information on what DHS spends on M&A activities, including spending by its components since fiscal year 1999.
This report addresses the following questions: (1) How have select DHS components defined and identified their M&A activities and spending, and to what extent are M&A data available from fiscal years 1999 through 2013? (2) How has DHS identified M&A spending department-wide, and to what extent has DHS defined M&A activities and taken steps to enhance efforts to collect M&A data? GAO analyzed documents, such as DHS's budget execution reports, and efforts to identify spending on M&A activities since fiscal year 1999. GAO interviewed officials from eight DHS components, selected on the basis of their budget authority, which in total accounts for nearly 88 percent of DHS's fiscal year 2013 budget authority. Though not generalizable, the interviews provided insights.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that DHS implement a mechanism to assess and correct M&A data entered by components into the PDM. DHS concurred with GAO's recommendation.

Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In December 2013, we reported that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Program Analysis and Evaluation Division (PA&E) developed a common definition of management and administrative (M&A) activities for components to use when submitting resource allocation requests in the Program Data Module (PDM) for future years by activity type: mission/operational, mission support, and business support/M&A. However, we found that PA&E was unable to reliably estimate what percentage of components' resource requests were for M&A activities because components were not accurately entering M&A activities in the PDM. As a result, we recommended that PA&E implement a mechanism to assess whether components have entered the appropriate M&A activities into the PDM, and work with the components to correct the data, as needed. In response, PA&E has taken actions to address our recommendation. Specifically, PA&E revised the master list of M&A activities by reducing the number of activities from 92 to 46 activities. PA&E also provided training to the components on the new M&A structure. For the May 2014 PDM submission, PA&E analysts reviewed components' M&A activities for accuracy by reviewing the data for outliers, and coordinated with components to correct the data as needed. We believe that these actions better position PA&E to reliably estimate and report to external stakeholders what percentage of DHS's resource allocations requests are identified as M&A.
Recommendation: To help ensure DHS is able to reliably estimate the department's future resource allocation requests identified as M&A, the Under Secretary for Management should direct Program Analysis & Evaluation to implement a mechanism to assess whether components have entered the appropriate M&A activities into the PDM, and work with the components to correct the data, as needed.

Acid precipitation was found to significantly influence the chemistry of a small headwater stream in central Pennsylvania. Stream discharge during 18 storms was sampled and analyzed for pH, bicarbonate alkalinity, and titratable acidity levels. The precipitation events varied considerably in their amounts, durations, and intensities and also produced highly variable hydrologic responses from the watershed. Stream pH and alkalinity levels were found to react inversely to stream discharge during storm flow periods, with their lowest levels occurring almost simultaneously with peak flow. In comparison, storm flow acidity was directly related to the discharge rate, with the peaks nearly coinciding. Models predicting the fluctuations in storm flow pH, alkalinity, and total acidity were developed. These models, which explained 88, 91, and 80% of the variations in stream pH, alkalinity, and acidity, respectively, used as their independent variables such hydrometeorological parameters as antecedent flow rate, time to peak, peak flow rate, quick flow volume, and storm precipitation amounts. These results suggest strongly that the hydrologic response of a watershed has potential application as an index of stream sensitivity to changes in pH, alkalinity, and acidity during acid precipitation/snowmelt events.

Whether it's his first bachelor pad or latest dream home, finding just the right housewarming gift will be fun for you and so appreciated by him.
The best housewarming gifts for men are going to be those that take into consideration his interests and personality. Artsy guys will cherish a unique piece of art or sculpture, while wanna-be chefs will be excited to host a dinner party to show off their monogrammed casserole dish or new-fangled kitchen gadget. And if it's his first home, practical gifts like a small tool chest filled with essentials such as screwdrivers, pliers, and duct tape or an emergency kit with a flashlight and fire extinguisher, will come in handy during those -- hopefully rare -- household emergencies.
Try a traditional housewarming gift that is practical but also holds special meaning. For example, salt represents always having spice and flavor in his life, so an elegant salt and pepper shaker, or a filled spice rack, is a thoughtful gift. Bread symbolizes the wish that he will never go hungry; a homemade bread maker – or a few loaves of delicious bread -- and a monogrammed cutting board will please the man who likes to cook. Plants signify life, hoping he will thrive in his new digs. And olive oil denotes health and well being; present it in a decorative bottle that can later be used to adorn a windowsill in his home sweet home.

A building material additive comprising an aqueous dispersion of a hydrophobic constituent which is completely wetted with a surfactant, and a water-soluble polymer is disclosed. The dispersion may also contain air void formers, retardants, plasticizers, accelerators, or the like, or mixtures thereof.
1. A process for the preparation of a building material additive comprising sequentially wetting a hydrophobic constituent with a surfactant, mixing the resultant product with an air void former and optionally with one or more members selected from the group consisting of retardants, plasticizers, and accelerators, and adding a water-soluble polymer and water to form a stable dispersion.
2. The process of claim 1 wherein the hydrophobic constituent is a solid having a particle size between 0.01 and 100 u.
3. The process of claim 2 wherein the hydrophobic constituent is a mineral which has been made hydrophobic.
4. The process of claim 2 wherein the hydrophobic constituent is carbon in the form of graphite or lamp black.
5. The process of claim 2 wherein the hydrophobic constituent is hydrophobic particles of plastic.
6. The process of claim 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 wherein the surfactant is selected from the group consisting of sulfonated or sulfated alkyl, alkylaryl, and polyalkylene oxide compounds, and mixtures thereof.
7. The additive obtained by the process of claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
8. The additive of claim 7 wherein the surfactant is selected from the group consisting of sulfonated or sulfated alkyl, alkylaryl, and polyalkylene oxide compounds, and mixtures thereof.
The invention relates to a building material additive in the form of an aqueous dispersion, containing air void formers, retardants, plasticizers, accelerators, or the like, or a mixture thereof, as well as to a process for the preparation thereof.
Additives have for some time been mixed with building materials to improve processing and to influence the solidification behavior and solidification time. Although they have the same or a similar effect in the building material, these additives belong, in general, to widely differing categories of chemical substances. Frequently it is desirable to affect a building material in several ways with an additive, or mixture of additives. Difficulties often arise in reconciling the extent of the desired effects, so that compromises are necessary and some additives cannot reach full effectiveness. Some additive combinations are not possible because in direct contact with one another they are incompatible. In general, the effectiveness of the additives is proportional to the concentration used but the proportionality does not follow a linear dependence. If incompatible additives are utilized, the result will be undesirable because the additives will not be distributed in the building material with sufficient homogeneity and, as a consequence, the effect of the additives will be stronger in some places, whereas in other parts of the mixture their effectiveness will be too low. The effect of the additives is to a considerable extent temperature-dependent, so that various combinations have to be chosen depending upon the season and the mean outside temperature.
When air void formers are combined with other additives, one can observe that the stability of the air voids is impaired. This results in too low a content of air voids, which have in general a relatively large diameter, and unfavorable spatial distribution of the air voids because especially those located in the vicinity of the surface display a tendency to escape before the solidification process has taken place.
An object of the present invention is thus to find a building material additive in which the effectiveness of the active ingredients used will be enhanced.
The foregoing object is accomplished by a building material additive comprising a dispersion of a hydrophobic substance completely wetted by a surfactant, and a water-soluble polymer.
Preferably, the dispersion of the present invention contains from about 0.1 to about 5%, by weight, of a hydrophobic substance and from about 0.01 to about 2%, by weight, of a water-soluble polymer, in each case referred to the total weight of the dispersion.
Examples of the hydrophobic substances suitable for use in the building material additive pursuant to the present invention are alkaline earth soaps of higher fatty acids, silicone oils, silicone greases, and mineral oils. However, because of the good results, preference is given to solid substances with a particle size from about 0.01 to about 100 u, which either are already hydrophobic as such, or have been made hydrophobic in a customary manner, as by treatment with dimethyl dichlorosilane. Suitable hydrophobic solids are minerals that have been made hydrophobic, such as hydrophobic clay, hydrophobic vermiculite, or other silicates that have been made hydrophobic. A very well suited hydrophobic substance within the framework of the present invention has been found to be carbon, in the form of graphite, as well as lamp black. Furthermore, particles of plastic materials made hydrophobic, such as polytetrafluoroethylene powder, have been found to be well suited for use in the dispersion pursuant to the present invention.
Surfactants suitable for wetting the hydrophobic substances completely can be used without limitation in the building material additive, no matter whether it is anion-active, cationactive, or non-ionogenic. Because of the proportionally small quantities needed for complete wetting, the surface-active agents preferably used for the building material additives pursuant to the present invention are sulfonated or sulfated alkyl, alkylaryl or polyalkylene oxide compounds, or mixtures thereof.
Among the water-soluble polymers useful in the dispersion pursuant to the present invention are, for example, polyacrylates, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose, polyethylene oxides, or partially saponified polyvinyl acetate. However, the best results were obtained with alginates.
Pursuant to the present invention, the building material additives are prepared by completely wetting a hydrophobic substance with a surface-active agent, mixing the resultant substance with the additives such as air void formers, retardants, plasticizers, accelerators, or the like, or mixtures thereof, and adding a water-soluble polymer and water to form a stable dispersion. A dispersion is considered stable, if no settling occurs within a period of 3 months.
Because of the complicated colloid-chemical and electrokinetic processes taking place after the addition of the additive pursuant to the present invention to cement-sand-water mixtures, surprising advantages will result. Over a wide concentration range, the effectiveness of the additive becomes far-reachingly independent from the concentration of the active ingredients added. The added active ingredients are approximately equally effective within a wide temperature range, so that changes in application dependent upon the season become unnecessary. With the dispersion pursuant to the invention, the influence of the finest particle constituents in the sand clearly remains nominal, so that it is possible to be relatively independent of the finest particle constituent in the sand when using the building material additive pursuant to the present invention.
The building material additive pursuant to the present invention can be advantageously used with concrete, light-weight concrete, aerated concrete, freeze-proof and dew salt-resistant concrete, with slowly solidifying and processing-constant mortar, which thus remains trowelable for an extended period, as well as with stucco mortar, e.g. in order to obtain a desired, predetermined content of air voids, to influence the solidification time, or to improve the flowability.
The invention is explained further by the following nonlimiting examples.
A mortar, consisting of 150 kg Portland cement PZ 350 F, 150 kg trass as filler, 720 kg sand of a grain size of 0 to 4 mm and 720 kg sand of a grain size of 0 to 1 mm, as well as 175 liters of water, was prepared for each of Examples 1 to 5. The volume of the mortar was about 1 m3, into which the appropriate additive solutions, or dispersions, were mixed. The air voids in, and solidification behavior of, the mortar of Examples 1 to 5 were investigated and compared with one another.
2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 liters of a commercial mortar additive consisting of about equal parts of an air void former and a solidification retardant were in each case mixed into 1 m3 of the above-described mortar. The results are contained in Table I.
2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 liters of another commercial additive, which consisted of a solution of a hydroxyethylene cellulose and a salt were in each case mixed into 1 m3 of the above-described mortar. The results are contained in Table I.
2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 liters of an additive pursuant to the present invention were in each case mixed into 1 m3 of the mortar described above. The additive was prepared in the following manner: 1 part by weight of a hydrophobic silicium dioxide was slowly stirred with 5 parts by weight of laurylether sulfate, until the surface of the silicium dioxide was completely wetted. This mixture was mixed homogeneously with 20 parts by weight of sodium gluconate and 5 parts by weight of sodium tripolyphosphate. Then, 0.2 parts by weight of sodium alginate were added and, after a homogeneous blend has been obtained, the mixture was dispersed into 69 parts by weight of water. A stable dispersion was formed, in which no change was observable after 3 months. The results are compiled in Table I.
The one part of silicium dioxide in Example II is replaced by one part by weight of hydrophobic calcium stearate. The results obtained are listed in Table I.
The one part by weight of silicium dioxide in Example III is replaced by one part by weight of hydrophobic graphite. The results obtained are listed in Table I.
The results compiled in Table I indubitably show, that with the dispersions pursuant to the invention (Examples III, IV and V) there is indeed a change in solidification times, but not in air void content, with the building material additive concentration. However, it is additionally found that, compared with the tested commercial additives, the size distribution of air void diameters has a substantially narrower range with the building material additives pursuant to the invention and is also shifted toward smaller air void diameters. This shows the greater stability of air voids during the solidification period.
The difference between the size distribution of air void diameters with customary products and the products pursuant to the invention is best shown by vibrating the freshly prepared mortars containing air voids for an extended period of time. This vibration eliminates the normally present thixotropy of the mortar and, because of their lower density, the air voids (AV) begin to rise to the surface. Thereby, the ascending velocities depend very much upon the diameter of the voids. Thus, the voids with the greatest diameters reach the surface first. When the AV content still present in the mortar is measured after certain vibration times, one finds that, in the case of mortars containing a customary additive, the reduction in AV content is about 8 to 10%, while in mortars containing the same quantity of a product pursuant to the invention it is 3 to 5%. During vibrating one could clearly recognize, that the air voids escaping in the first case were coarse and unstable, which showed itself by immediate bursting of the bubbles. In the second case, a small quantity of finely porous foam was formed, which was stable for quite some time. Since an increased AV content is also accompanied by a reduction in gross density, an investigation was carried out to determine whether the data found for mortar are also applicable to light-weight concrete.
Since, in the installation of light-weight concrete, the lower coarse grain often migrates to the surface of the concrete due to vibration, so that segregation will occur, a reduction in the gross density of the mortar present in the concrete has to counteract segregation. For this reason, a light-weight concrete of the following composition was prepared:
615 kg light-weight concrete admixture 0/4 mm
415 kg light-weight concrete admixture 4/16 mm
340 kg Portland cement
170 lit. water
3 liters/m3 of the dispersion pursuant to the invention (according to Example V) were added to one batch of concrete, while another batch did not contain any additive. After vibrating the batches of concrete for 1 min. it was found that the batch made without additive had a gross density of 1.70, whereas the batch mixed with the dispersion pursuant to the invention had a gross density of 1.4. After a vibrating time of 10 min., the gross density of the comparison concrete had gone up to 1.75, whereas the gross density of the concrete mixed with the additive had risen to only 1.5. The cutting surfaces of the batches of concrete showed clearly that, in the comparison concrete, there had been migration of the coarsest grain, whereas the batch of concrete mixed with the dispersion pursuant to the invention displayed a good homogeneity.
In order to demonstrate the absence of a dependence of the effect of the dispersion pursuant to the invention upon the type of binder, a stucco mortar was prepared, in which, as is customary, the binder consisted not only of cement, but also of a larger quantity of hydrated lime. The composition of the stucco was a follows:
200 kg cement
100 kg lime
1250 kg sand 0/2 mm
200 liters water
3 liters of dispersion accdg. to Example 5.
The freshly prepared stucco contained 24% by volume of air, i.e. the air content was on the same level as the air void quantities listed for Examples III, IV, and V. Adhesion to the base showed a distinct improvement compared with a stucco prepared in the same manner, but without the dispersion. Even after an extended standing time, the stucco material containing the dispersion pursuant to the invention did not give off any water, and processability was substantially better for a longer period of time, than with stucco mortar without an addition of dispersion.
