Calcium Aluminate Cement

Description

1. Product Overview
Calcium Aluminate Cement (CAC) is a high-performance hydraulic binder engineered from refined limestone and bauxite-based raw materials, designed for rapid strength development and exceptional resistance to extreme chemical and thermal conditions. It is widely used in refractory, construction, and infrastructure applications where conventional Portland cement fails to deliver durability and performance stability. The product delivers superior early strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term structural integrity under aggressive industrial environments. Strategically, it is a critical material in high-temperature and chemically demanding industries, supporting operational reliability and asset longevity.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical Composition: Primarily calcium aluminates (CA, CA₂ phases), derived from high-purity alumina and lime
• Purity/Grade: Industrial-grade, high-alumina content (typically 35%–80% Al₂O₃ depending on formulation)
• Physical Form: Fine powder
• Color: Grey to off-white
• Particle Size: Typically ≤ 45 microns (adjustable based on grade)
• Bulk Density: ~800–1100 kg/m³ (loose)
• Packaging Options: 25 kg bags, 1 MT jumbo bags, bulk tanker shipment
• Shelf Life: 6–12 months under dry, sealed storage conditions

3. Core Industrial Applications
Calcium Aluminate Cement is extensively utilized across high-performance industrial sectors including refractory manufacturing, steel production, mining, petrochemical processing, and specialized construction. Key applications include refractory castables, gunning mixes, chemical-resistant mortars, rapid repair concretes, and sewage infrastructure systems. It is preferred over Portland cement in environments exposed to high temperatures, acidic or sulfate-rich conditions due to its superior chemical stability and rapid strength gain. Its performance advantages translate into reduced downtime, extended service life, and improved operational efficiency in critical infrastructure.
