CSA Expansive agent - Shrinkage compensating cement additive

CSA Expansive agent / Cement additive / Shrinkage compensating cement additive  High-efficiency CSA expansive agent is obtained by blending suitable natural anhydrite with a specially manufactured clinker which consists essentially of calcium sulphoaluminate and CaO. CSA expansive agent is always mixed with ordinary cement. When mixed in the proper proportions with ordinary cement and hydrated, cement mortar or concrete expands during the early stages of hydration. This expansion, when restrained, makes it possible to minimize drying shrinkage. Moreover, when the ratio of shrinkage reducing admixture to ordinary cement is increased its high expansion qualities make it ideal for use in prestressed concrete. High-efficiency shrinkage reducing admixture is being used in all sections of the construction fields and by a wide variety of concrete products manufacturers. Expansive Cement Additive is used to chemically pre-stress concrete, providing compensation for drying shrinkage, and r

Rapid set CSA cement

Descriptions CSA Cement, also named Calcium Sulpho Aluminate Cement with grade: 42.5, 52.5, 62.5, 72.5,82.5, 92.5, is a hydraulic binder based on calcium sulpho aluminate, rather than calcium aluminates which are the basis of Calcium Aluminates Cement or calcium silicates which are the basis of Portland Cement. It can be used on its own (with a Lithium accelerator), or with an Anhydrite, Portland cement mix, Metakaolin or a combination of all. CSA Cement has the benefit of being readily adaptable to suit many different applications where both rapid set and / or high early strength gain are required. It yields controlled set, enhanced early strengths, shrinkage compensation or expansion and sulphate resistance. Uses include any cement-based product in need of these properties. CSA Cement products exhibit a range of properties to suit a wide spectrum of cement-based applications, like fast setting cements,self-leveling or self-smoothing compounds, self compacting concrete,rapid hard
