High Alumina Cement FAQ:
1. What is refractory cement used for?
Refractory cement is mainly used as a binder in refractory castables, furnace repair materials, kiln linings and other high-temperature applications.
2. What is the difference between CA50, CA70 and CA80 refractory cement?
The main difference is alumina content and purity. CA50 is commonly used for general refractory applications, while CA70 and CA80 are suitable for applications requiring higher alumina content and higher performance.
3. Which refractory cement is suitable for pizza ovens?
CA50 is commonly used for pizza ovens and other general-purpose high-temperature castable applications. The final grade should be selected according to the refractory mix and operating conditions.
4. Which refractory cement should I use for industrial furnaces?
CA70 or CA80 may be suitable for demanding industrial furnace applications, depending on the operating temperature, refractory formulation and chemical conditions.
5. Can refractory cement be used to make refractory castables?
Yes. Calcium aluminate cement is commonly used as a hydraulic binder in refractory castables. The required cement grade and addition level depend on the complete castable formulation.
6. What packaging is available for refractory cement?
Refractory cement is commonly supplied in 25 kg bags and 1,000 kg jumbo bags. OEM packaging can also be provided according to order requirements.
7. Can ZKD recommend the right refractory cement grade?
Yes. Please provide your application, operating temperature, castable formulation or technical requirements, and ZKD can recommend a suitable grade.
