Recipro 40 Calcium Aluminium Cement (25kg)
Product Type : Calcium Aluminate Cement (CAC)
Pack Size : 25kg bag
Binder Chemistry : High-alumina hydraulic binder (calcium aluminate phases)
Product Description:
Recipro 40 is a high-performance calcium aluminate cement (CAC) — a special type of cement whose binder chemistry relies on calcium-aluminate phases rather than the calcium-silicate phases typical of ordinary Portland cement. This gives it fast strength development, early setting and excellent durability, making it ideal for demanding structural and industrial applications.
Key Features & Advantages
Rapid strength development & fast setting — CAC reaches high strength much faster than regular cement, often achieving 24-hour strength comparable to 28-day strength of standard cement.
High early- and long-term strength — suitable for repair mortars, screeds, grouts and concretes needing early load-bearing capacity.
Excellent chemical, acid and sulfate resistance — due to its alumina-rich composition, CAC is more resistant than ordinary cement to aggressive environments, including wastewater, sewage, industrial chemicals and acidic conditions.
High-temperature and refractory potential — CAC can resist elevated temperatures and thermal shocks, making it suitable for refractory applications, industrial furnaces or areas with thermal stress.
Low porosity, good density & durability — gives improved long-term performance in harsh or aggressive conditions (chemicals, abrasion, moisture).
Typical Applications
Recipro 40 is suitable for a broad range of high-performance or specialized applications, including:
Fast-setting repair mortars (structural repair, patch works)
Grouts and anchoring mortars where early strength is critical
Self-leveling screeds / floor toppings / industrial floor works requiring rapid load bearing
Concrete and mortar in chemical, wastewater or sewerage infrastructure — resistant to sulphate/acid attack and microbial corrosion.
Refractory or heat-exposed structures such as furnace linings, chimneys, or industrial kilns — where thermal stability is required.
Precast concrete / specialized concrete products — where quality, durability and performance in harsh conditions are required.
Safety & Handling:
As with all cementitious products — avoid direct contact with skin or eyes. Use gloves, eye protection and avoid inhaling dust. On contact with water, CAC mixes are alkaline.
Storage: Keep bags sealed and stored in a dry environment; moisture may prematurely initiate binding.]
Why Choose Recipro 40?
If your project requires fast turnaround, high early strength, chemical resistance or thermal durability, Recipro 40 offers advantages that ordinary Portland cement may not. It’s particularly valuable for industrial, structural repair, wastewater, refractory, and high-performance concrete/mortar applications where reliability and durability under demanding conditions are indispensable.
