What Is High-Temperature Cement?
High-temperature cement is designed for use in environments exposed to high temperatures.
This specialized cement finds its applications in constructing and repairing facilities like iron and steel plants, power plants, and paper mills, where high heat and fire resistance are crucial. Its primary component, alumina cement, allows it to set and harden under high temperatures. To enhance its performance in extreme conditions, siliceous aggregates, and refractory additives are incorporated, ensuring the material remains stable and does not melt under high heat.
Depending on its application and location, high-temperature cement serves as an essential refractory material in various industrial settings. Its uses extend to lining high-temperature furnaces in metallurgical industries, boilers in power generation plants, and dryers in paper production facilities. Not only does it exhibit superior heat and fire resistance, but it also resists chemical attacks, ensuring durability and longevity in harsh environments.
