Fused Calcium Aluminate
Fused calcium aluminate is used as a ladle refining flux and as a component in specialty binders where CaO–Al₂O₃ phases are required.
Description
Manufactured by electro-fusing selected raw materials to obtain controlled calcium–aluminate phases, then crushed and graded. In steel refining it supports slag formation and inclusion absorption; in binders it contributes to high-temperature capability and setting behavior depending on formulation.
Applications
- Ladle refining flux in secondary metallurgy
- Component of calcium-aluminate cements and mortars
- Additive for slag conditioning (process-dependent)
Packaging
- Moisture-protected bags or jumbo bags on pallets
- Product and batch identification on labels
- Prevent tearing and moisture ingress during handling
Storage
- Store dry and covered; keep sealed until use
- Avoid prolonged humidity prior to batching
- Apply FIFO for multiple lots
