ISTRA CAC are of interest to various applications in building chemistry due to their quick-setting properties and high strength. As an admixture to Portland cements, ISTRA CAC accelerate strength development. This is why they are used for the production of quick-setting and rapid hardening mortars.

Resistance to high temperatures is the main reason for using Calcium Aluminate Cements (CAC) in refractory products. High heat resistance combined with simple handling and extended workability make mortars and concretes based on CA cements extremely durable refractory products.
