The invention relates to a composition for making flooring material comprising resin and particles comprising ammonium quaternary salt. The resin is generally an unsaturated polyester resin. The flooring materials, or engineered stone slabs from which the flooring materials or other material can be formed, are generally made from combining the resin, particles, inorganic particulate material and an initiator and allowing the resin to cure. The flooring material composition may be cobalt free. Metal catalysts may be used to cure the resin.

Synthesis and application of an alcohol amine with an extended main carbon chain are provided, belonging to the field of chemical building materials. Under the action of a catalyst, tertiary amine is subjected to a two-step substitution reaction, a hydrolytic reaction and a reducing reaction to obtain a novel alcohol amine (NAA). The novel alcohol amine as provided may have a better grinding aid effect than triethanolamine while is added into cement as a cement grinding aid, and thus has a wide application prospect.

Disclosed is a method for grinding a hydraulic binder, including: a) introducing:—a hydraulic binder, and—a composition B including at least one grinding aid B into the first chamber of a horizontal grinder including several chambers, including a first chamber and a last chamber, each chamber being separated from the adjacent chamber by a diaphragm, whereby a composition β including the hydraulic binder and composition B is obtained in the first chamber; and b) grinding composition β in the horizontal grinder, whereby composition β moves from the first chamber to the last chamber and a ground composition C is obtained at the outlet of the last chamber. At the grinding step, the method includes introducing into the last chamber a composition A including at least one grinding aid A including an aminoalcohol. Also disclosed is a corresponding grinding unit.
