This document discusses two types of amorphous calcium aluminate cement, CALUMEX SC-A and XT-20. They consist of calcium oxide and aluminum oxide in a 12:7 mole ratio, forming the main phase 12CaO.7Al2O3. They have a high dissolution rate and are highly reactive due to their amorphous content over 95% and fine particle size. As a partial replacement for Portland cement, they can accelerate setting, increase early and late strength, provide dimensional stability, quick drying, and reduce efflorescence. They are used in cement, mortar, tile adhesives, and other applications where rapid setting is required. Regular and special admixtures can be used
Cellulose is one of the first found and used polymers.Through chemical modification alkalization and etherification, side groups are incorporated onto the main polymer chain.
Cellulose ether is through neutralization, purification, drying, crushing, blending and sieving diversified in different types;MC, HEC, CMC, HPMC, HEMC, etc.
Re-dispersible polymer powder is obtained by spray-drying a polymer emulsion normally with a PVA as protective colloid.
When added f.i. in a cement or cement mortar when mixed with water it is dispersed to form an emulsion again.
Addition of a polymer in either emulsion or as re-dispersible latex to a dry-mix mortar is further improve its properties.

Amorphous Calcium Aluminate Cement (ACA) is on of the latest developments in cement chemistry. There is not a lot published on this subject so therefor this blog.
Main phase is C12A7 (mayenite) a most reactive phase in cement hydration.
Amorphous calcium aluminate can be used as an additive in cementitious compositions as an accelerating agent to Portlandcement.Other features are rapid drying and compensation of shrinkage through positive expansion.

CALUMEX 3DP is a cement additive developed for 3D concrete printing. It improves the characteristics of concrete by making it easy to handle, dry and set quickly, and gain strength rapidly. It also enhances flow properties and extrudability. By accelerating cement hydration and modifying rheology, CALUMEX 3DP facilitates fast manufacturing of concrete structures without formwork.
The document discusses kaolin and metakaolin, including their production, properties, and uses in cement and concrete. Metakaolin is produced by calcining kaolin to produce an amorphous aluminosilicate powder that can be used as a supplementary cementitious material. When combined with Portland cement, metakaolin reacts pozzolanically to improve strength, density, and durability of concrete. Flash calcination allows higher dosages of metakaolin in concrete mixes compared to traditional calcination methods.
Amorphous Calcium Aluminate (ACA) cement accelerants provide advantages to producers such as very fast setting, notable early and late strength gain, and a white color making them ideal for light castings. The main phase is C12A7 (mayenite) and increased sulfate leads to early ettringite crystal formation in a Portland cement matrix, resulting in extremely high early strengths. ACA cements develop strength similarly to Calcium Sulfoaluminate cements through early ettringite formation. Depending on the loading amount, ACA cements provide faster setting, rapid hardening, drying, and high early and late strength gains even in colder weather.
- Calcium aluminate sulfate (CAS) cement, also known as ettringite cement, is formed from a chemical reaction of aluminum, calcium, and sulfate ions that produces needle-like ettringite crystals.
- CAS cement gains over 80% of its maximum strength within 24 hours and continues strengthening rapidly over the next 3-7 days, allowing for very quick construction and return to service.
- Compared to Portland cement, CAS cement requires less energy to produce, produces fewer carbon emissions, and offers benefits like improved early strength, reduced shrinkage, and lighter color.
light weight filler based on soda-lime borosilicate - microspheres are white, light weight /high strength hollow glass microspheres, used as alternatives to conventional fillers in a variety of paints and specialty coatings, spalcking, caulks, adhesives, roof coating and more.They are used to provide a better surface for sanding and allows a higher filler loading.The effect of trapped air further improves the insulation properties.
ULTRACEM速 is a fast setting Portland cement that achieves high early strength within 3 hours and compressive strength of over 10 MPa. It sets within 3-5 minutes and contains less than 5% loss of ignition and 8% sulfate. ULTRACEM速 can be used in dry-mixed mortars and concrete where quick re-installation is required, such as in low temperature environments and for rapid repair work. Safety precautions should be followed when using ULTRACEM速 due to its fast setting properties.
This document discusses a new additive that can be used to prevent cracks and curling in cement and lime mortars by compensating for shrinkage in three ways: 1) through the formation of hydrogen gas, 2) through the formation of calcium aluminum sulfate hydroxide which compensates for chemical shrinkage, 3) at a rate of 1-5% by weight. The additive is packaged in 20kg plastic bags or 1,250kg big-bags and can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months after production date. It can be used in cement screeds, self-leveling underlayment, tile adhesive, non-shrink grout, and monocouche mixtures (cement/
