Abstract

The objective of this study is to characterize commercial expansive cement for subsequent development of national formulation, with consequent economic effect and independence of the international market. On the other hand the results contribute to the development of scientific and technological potential. Expansive cement is a product that enables non-explosive demolition, rock and concrete demolition. To characterize the composition of these products, techniques used infrared spectroscopy with Fourier Transforms and Scanning Electron Microscopy.
