ISTRA CAC are of interest to various applications in building chemistry due to their quick-setting properties and high strength. Istra CAC are used for the production of quick-setting and rapid hardening mortars. The ternary binder system OPC - CAC-Anhydrite can be adjusted by choosing the right proportions of OPC-CAC and Anhydrite.

Advanced building chemistry formulations like tile grouts, tile
adhesives or self levelers consist of the ternary binder system
OPC - CAC-Anhydrite. The setting time and the compressive strength development of this system can be adjusted by choosing the right proportions of OPC-CAC and Anhydrite. 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 N/mm 2 60-70 50-60 40-50 30-40 20-30 10-20 0 -10 60-70 50-60 40-50 30-40 20-30 10-20 0 -10 Minutes Building Chemistry | Construction Industry | Pipes & Aggregates | Refractory Industry | Reprocessing CAC for Building Chemistry Application of CALUCEM Calcium Aluminate Cements
INTRODUCTION ISTRA CAC are of interest to various applications in building chemistry due to their quick-setting properties and high strength. As an admixture to Portland cements, ISTRA CAC accelerate strength development. This is why they are used for the production of quick-setting and rapid hardening mortars. With further additives one can optimize particular desired properties, such as ow characteristics, water retention, adhesion or shrinkage. In addition, ISTRA CAC bind more water than Portland cements as well as setting more rapidly. With ISTRA CAC you can take additional control of the hydration process and curing time. Floors which are constructed or repaired with mixtures containing ISTRA CAC can be placed in service after a very short time. ISTRA CAC are therefore an important raw material for the production of: self leveling compounds tile adhesives tile grouts rapid oor screeds sealers bedding mortars repair mortars OPC OPC Anhydrite Anhydrite CAC CAC SETTING TIME OPC-CAC-ANHYDRITE 24 h COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OPC-CAC-ANHYDRITE 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 REPAIR OR RAPID MORTAR, ADHESIVE MORTAR, CASTING MORTAR Building chemicals that are to be applied to repair or reinforce com- ponents have one thing in common they have to set and harden rapidly, allowing the operator to continue his work efciently. While the setting time of pure ISTRA CAC can be compared with that of pure Portland cement, mixtures of the two have setting times that are signicantly shorter. This fact is based on the reaction of the main components of ISTRA CAC, the calcium aluminates, with the calcium sulphate and calcium hydroxide in Portland cement. Starting with 100% Portland cement (gure 1), the setting time is reduced proportionally as the content of ISTRA CAC increases. In this way the setting time of cement-based rapid or repair mortars can be varied over a wide range from hours to a few minutes by means of ISTRA CAC. SURFACERS, FLOORING OR LEVELING COMPOUNDS AND RAPID SCREEDS Surfacers and leveling compounds are used to correct uneven concrete or screed surfaces. The use of cements with high water retention is extremely important in the production of self-leveling compounds for oor surfaces. During the hardening process, ISTRA CAC absorb large amounts of the mixing water to form hydrates with a high crystalline water content. This combination with calcium sulphate (either anhydrite or calcium sulfate hemi-hydrate) can intensify and control this effect through the controlled production of Ettringite. The addition of ISTRA CAC results in low residual moisture after a short time. This means that the surface can be covered and opened to foot trafc soon after application. Other important properties like rheological behavior, adhesion or setting can be optimized by the addition of admixtures. 1 2 PROPERTIES OF ISTRA CAC We offer four different kinds of ISTRA CAC for building chemistry use: Application CAC Type Alumina cont. mass% Color all elds of BC products ISTRA 40 (Lumnite MG) 40 dark brown especially self leveling products ISTRA 45 (Lumnite) 45 anthracitic self leveling products, color sensitive ISTRA 50 (Refcon MG) 50 beige self leveling products, color sensitive ISTRA 55 (Refcon) 55 light grey Table 1: ISTRA CAC product range APPLICATIONS The excellent consistency of composition in ISTRA CAC is the key to the constant quality of the nal products. The early strength values are increased if the setting time is reduced. The nal strength values (28 days strength) of such cement mixtures, however, lie clearly below the nal strength values of both primary cements (gure 2). Additives such as dispersion agents, methyl celluloses, etc. can inuence important properties such as rheological behavior, adhesion and water retention.
