Quicklime (or calcium oxide or burnt lime) is obtained by calcining pure limestone at temperature above 9000C. This highly reactive product is essential to many industrial processes. Calcium oxide (CaO), commonly known as quicklime or burnt lime, is a widely used chemical compound. It is a white, caustic, alkaline, crystalline solid at room temperature. The broadly used term lime connotes calcium-containing inorganic materials, in which carbonates, oxides and hydroxides of calcium, silicon, magnesium, aluminium, and iron predominate. Application: Steel Making, FGD, Construction, Masonry & Mortars, Water Treatment, Chemical Processes, Mining Industry, sugar industry, Paper, Pulp and PCC, Remediation of Sludges and Wastes and Glass Manufacturing. Packing: 1000kg Jumbo bag. Item Specification CaO: 92.5% ± 2 Loss on Ignition at 1000 °C: 4% ±2 Grain Size: 10- 60 mm Reactivity: High
Microsilica (silica fume) is a by-product from silicon metal or ferrosilicon industries, is an amorphous silicon dioxide SiO2. This product reacts chemically with the calcium hydroxide in the cement paste which yields a calcium silicate hydrate gel that significantly enhances strength and durability. The super fine microsilica fills the voids between cement particles creating a very dense, less permeable concrete. White Cement advantages: Sustainability: Solar Reflectance Index (SRI): Floors finished with white or pastel color concrete will have a much higher SRI than floors with gray concrete, therefore they will reflect light better, and generate energy savings for the lifetime of the floors. Reduction of Heat Island effect: By constructing buildings with white concrete roofs or light-colored roof tiles, the Heat Island Effect is reduced from surfaces generating less heat and improved reflectivity. Architectural Concrete: White Portland Cement is ideal for decorative concrete and Architectural Concrete applications, Masonry and Cementitious Building Products. A key advantage of using white cement for these applications is that it provides a base color that can be tinted to custom colors to meet any color spectrum demand.
