The embodiments described herein generally relate to methods and chemical compositions for use with wellbore treatment processes. In one embodiment, a composition is provided comprising a cementitious material, a drilling fluid, or combinations thereof, and an additive composition comprising one or more components selected from the group of an aqueous insoluble lignin, a coke fine, a random tetracopolymer having the formula styrene-butadiene-acrylic-fumaric acid, a polyvinyl acetate, a surfactant composition, and combinations thereof.

Disclosed herein is a warm mix asphalt additive comprising (a) a wax; (b) a phosphoric ester; and (c) a fatty amine. Preferably component (a) is a fatty amide wax and component (b) is a C16-C18 alkyl phosphoric ester. Also disclosed is a warm mix asphalt binder composition comprising asphalt and a warm mix asphalt additive, and methods for its preparation thereof. Additionally disclosed is a warm mix asphalt composition comprising a warm mix asphalt binder and aggregate, and methods for its preparation thereof.

A method for increasing the workability of a binder composition including calcined clay, limestone, and Portland cement. The method includes a step of adding an admixture comprising at least one PCE and at least one additive selected from the group including sugar acids, sugars, sugar alcohols, and hydroxycarboxylic acids. The invention also relates to an admixture to be used in said method and hardenable compositions, especially concrete and mortar, obtainable by the method.

The present invention pertains to the use, in the manufacture of an aqueous formulation with a hydraulic binder base, of a combination of at least one comb-branched copolymer having a (meth)acrylic skeleton, onto which are grafted side-chains terminated by a hydrophilic group, and at least one ASE acrylic polymer. This results in improving the workability of said formulation, without causing a segregation phenomenon.

A colored cementitious composition is provided that is composed of hydraulic cement and a liquid coloring suspension. The liquid coloring suspension for cementitious compositions contains polycarboxylate dispersant, pigment, and a polysaccharide thixotropic additive. The liquid coloring suspension has improved viscosity consistency, improved shelf-life, anti-settling and anti-sludging properties, and decreased polycarboxylate dispersant requirements.
