The CA40 series of calcium aluminate cement, including CA40 cement and CA41 cement, is a versatile hydraulic binder solution, suitable for both refractory and building chemistry applications. Produced under strict quality control and certified by ISO 9001, these products offer reliable performance in various industrial contexts.
CA40/CA41 cement contains approximately 40% alumina and a high monocalcium aluminate content, making it an effective binder for refractory uses. It forms durable concrete and mortars with excellent mechanical properties, suitable for high-temp environments. The ceramic bonding that occurs between the high alumina components and aggregates above 1000℃ ensures stability and performance, even under intense heat.
Refractory Applications of CA40 Cement
However, the iron oxide present in CA40 cement may not be suitable for all refractory applications, especially in reducing atmospheres. On the positive side, the higher iron content in CA40 offers significant abrasion resistance, making it particularly effective in producing abrasion-resistant castables for high-temp applications.
Building Chemistry Application of CA40 Cement
The cement's compatibility with other binders, fillers, and polymers enhances its versatility in various building chemistry formulations, especially in environments with aggressive conditions such as wastewater treatment facilities.
CA41 cement, another product in the CA40 series Cement, combines normal setting characteristics with rapid hardening. It is suitable for both refractory and building applications, offering high early strength, abrasion resistance, and resistance to biogenic sulfuric acid corrosion (BSAC).
For refractory purposes, CA41’s iron oxide content of about 8% makes it ideal for low-duty concretes and mortars. In building chemistry, it is commonly integrated with other binders to enhance product formulations for floor levelling, tile installation, and material repairs.
The CA40 series cement is designed to meet diverse needs in both refractory and construction industries. Whether for high-tempe abrasion resistance or fast-setting building compounds, CA40 cement and CA41 Cement provide reliable solutions for demanding environments.
