Exceptional Performance and Rapid HardeningCA50 Calcium Aluminate Cement demonstrates fast setting and early strength development, making it perfect for refractory, high-strength concrete, and rapid industrial repairs. Its heat-resistant formulation and high compressive strength ensure long-lasting performance in severe conditions.
Quality Packaging and Reliable Storage LifeAvailable in robust 25 kg and 50 kg HDPE laminated bags, the cement is protected from moisture and contaminants. With a storage life of six months under proper conditions, users can rely on long-term usability and minimal waste.
Versatile Industrial Uses and BenefitsEngineered from alumina and calcium oxide, CA50 is compatible with quartz sand for enhanced durability. It is widely applied in refractory castables, industrial flooring, and high-temperature environments, providing quick turnaround and dependable results.
FAQs of Calcium Aluminate Cement:
Q: How should Calcium Aluminate Cement CA50 be mixed for optimal performance?
A: Mix CA50 with clean water at a ratio of 2224% by weight, and combine it thoroughly with fine quartz sand for uniform consistency. Use within the initial setting time of 90 minutes, and complete all finishing within five hours for best results.
Q: What are the main applications for this Calcium Aluminate Cement?
A: This cement is primarily used in refractory castables, high-strength concrete, and industrial flooring. Its rapid hardening and high-temperature resistance make it suitable for furnaces, thermal plants, fast repairs, and heavy-duty surfaces.
Q: When is Calcium Aluminate Cement preferred over Ordinary Portland Cement?
A: CA50 is chosen when projects require rapid strength gain, high temperature resistance, or early setting. This is especially important in time-sensitive repairs, refractory linings, or components exposed to extreme conditions.
Q: Where can I store the cement and what is its storage life?
A: Store the cement in its original HDPE laminated bags in a dry, shaded area, away from moisture and direct sunlight. The storage life is six months from the date of packaging under proper conditions.
Q: What are the benefits of using this cement in refractory applications?
A: The high Al2O3 content and stability of CA50 cement ensure excellent heat resistance, rapid hardening, and robust early strength. This minimizes downtime and enhances safety and longevity in kiln and furnace linings.
Q: How does the fineness and grain size affect cement performance?
A: With a fineness of 350 m/kg and maximum grain size of 0.09 mm, the cement hydrates quickly, promotes uniform mixing, enhances compressive strength, and supports rapid hardening for superior finished products.
