Find Verified Calcium Oxide Suppliers, Manufacturers and Wholesalers

Our products find wide-ranging applications:

1 Oil & Gas Drilling Calcium chloride plays a critical role in drilling fluids used during oil and gas exploration. It helps stabilize boreholes, control viscosity, and prevent clay swelling.
2 Dust Control It binds loose particles, reducing airborne dust and enhancing air quality.
3 Moisture Absorption Calcium chloride prills act as a desiccant, absorbing moisture from the air. They are used in packaging to safeguard sensitive products from humidity.
4 Other Application Anhydrous CaCl2 finds use in concrete acceleration, refrigeration plants, aquaculture, and animal feed.

Fly ash is a finely divided residue made from the combustion of pulverized coal that can be used to increase concrete durability and workability, while reducing permeability.

As fly ash contains aluminous and siliceous components, it may form cement when mixed with water if the calcium content of the fly ash is high enough. Similarly, mixing fly ash with lime and water can create a substance similar to Portland cement.

Fly ash can be separated into two main types, known as:

Class F
Class F fly ash contains particles covered in a type of melted glass allowing it to reduce the risk of concrete expansion and increase resistance to sulfates and alkali-aggregate reactions.

Class C
Class C fly ash contains a higher percentage of calcium oxide, making it more effective in strengthening structural concrete.


Applications & Benefits of Fly Ash:
Fly ash is used in commercial and industrial sectors for improving the durability and workability of concrete mixes.
Fly ash is also used as filler in paints, adhesives, and metal and plastic composites.
It's commonly used as structural fill for road construction and fly ash can be used to make bricks, ceramic tiles, plaster, Portland cement, and ready-mix cement.

Pozzolan is a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material that in itself possesses little or no cementitious value but will, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture, chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to form compounds having cementitious properties. It is therefore classified as a cementitious material. There are both natural and artificial pozzolans. The quantification of the capacity of a pozzolan to react with calcium hydroxide and water is given by measuring its pozzolanic activity.

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.

Application & Benefits of Microsilica (Silica fume):
In concrete:
The micro silica fume powder can be well filled in the cement particle space and make the slurry denser, mainly in the following:

Increase strength
Increase the density
Frost resistance
Early strength
Anti abrasion and anti-cavitation resistance
In Refractories:
Microsilica powder is widely used in the refractory industry. It has an important effect on the improvement of the amorphous refractory.
The production of amorphous and shaped refractory products as additives makes the strength and high temperature performance greatly improved.
