Calcium Aluminate Binders - TERNAL® Smart
Calcium aluminates are obtained by the reaction at high temperature of lime (from limestone) and alumina (contained in natural minerals like bauxite). The product obtained after cooling is a hard mineral: calcium aluminate clinker. Ground into a fine powder, the clinker becomes a calcium aluminate binder which forms a paste when mixed with water. This has the ability to harden and form a rigid solid within less than 24 hours. There are two distinct ways to use calcium aluminates: as high-performance binders and as mineral reactants in a variety of industries.
TERNAL® Smart is a Calcium Aluminate-based Binder, mainly resulting from limestone and bauxite transformation in aluminous clinker furnaces and specifically developed for building chemistry drymix mortar applications.
