CALUMEX C.S.A.®

Is the basic ground clincker calcium sulpho aluminate - a mix of pure bauxite,limestone and calcium sulphate.Burned in a rotary kiln it in itself gives after grinding a slow reacting cement.It will however react rapidly in the presence of lime and calcium-sulphate to form ettringite.Thus giving expansion or shrinkage compensation to the cement matrix depending on the amount added. It is used as an additive to give;

Characteristics

• Higher expansive value
• Fast setting and rapid hardening
• High and early strength
• No loss of strength in time
• Efficient sulphate resistance
• Excellent freeze or thaw performance

Applications

• Rapid repair mortars
• Fast setting tile adhesives
• Self-leveling mortars
• Self-smoothing mortars
• Non-shrinking grouts
• Glass fibre reinforced concrete (G.R.C.)

CALUMEX QUICK®

To facilitate the use of calcium-sulphate aluminate cement CALUMEX-QUICK was designed as a ready to use pre-mix of the basic ground clincker C.S.A. and a sufficient amount of sulphate. It can be directly introduced in most cement based formulations to give;

• an accelerate set
• rapid drying
• a very high early strength - even at low temperatures
• no loss of strength in time
• shrinkage compensation
• increased sulphate resistance
• higher freeze / thaw performance

Applications

• rapid repair mortars
• fast setting tile adhesives -grouts
• self-leveling mortars
• self-smoothing mortars
• non-shrinking grouts
• glass fibre reinforced concrete (G.R.C.)

CALUMEX E.A.®

For the use as shrinkage compensating agent we introduced CALUMEX-E.A. It consists of the basic ground clincker C.S.A. and a percentage of sulphate to give a higher expansion. It can be directly introduced in a 5 - 10 % replacement of O.P.C. in most cement based formulations.

• shrinkage compensation
• increased sulphate resistance
• higher freeze / thaw performance

Applications

• non-shrinking grouts
• concrete repair-mortars
• large concrete slabs
• industrial floors
• spray-concrete
