4.0 CALCIUM ALUMINATE CEMENTS
4.1 Description
Calcium aluminate cement (often referred to as high alumina
cement) was patented in 1909. [19] Its development was a result of investi-
gations directed at resolving the deleterious effects of sulfate solutions on
portland cement concretes. Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) has several
