CSA cement ( CSA binder )

Introduction General characteristics 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, sel
