Sumario:The application of magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) is promising, but its poor water resistance seriously hinders its development and application. In this paper, we describe a new type of MOC with excellent water resistance, prepared using fly ash and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS). SEM, XRD, FTIR, TG/DSC, and other microscopic-scale studies were conducted to investigate the mechanism underlying the water-resistance enhancement of the new MOC. It was found that adding 20% fly ash and 3% HDTMS can strengthen the water resistance of MOC while retaining high mechanical properties. In particular, the residual coefficient remained at 0.91 after 7 days of immersion. This is because these two additives, when used together, can increase the content of the gelling 5-phase of MOC, as well as optimize the pore structure of MOC.
