The study considers the development of a paraffin-based additive for cement–sand injection mortars intended for deep soil stabilisation under the geological conditions of Central Kazakhstan. The present study investigates the influence of the additive on mobility, water separation, setting time, and strength characteristics of mortars, for concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 1.0% by cement mass. The findings demonstrated that the additive enhanced the slump flow area by up to 62%, diminished water separation by 30–32% and extended the setting time by 45–76%. It was demonstrated that compressive and flexural strength were preserved with moderate increases of up to 8–9% in comparison with the reference mixture. The range of 0.6–0.8% was identified as optimal, providing enhanced mobility and stability while maintaining structural integrity. The findings indicate that paraffin-based additives can be effectively applied in deep cementation technologies for enhancing the injectability and performance of soil stabilization mixtures.
