Advantages by using LIGHT COLOR CSA BINDER:
• The color of this CSA BINDER is more lighter than other cement, can be easily colored by pigment.
• Hydrated products have hydration alumina gel and ettringite crystals which can generate beautiful luster on surface of the artificial stone.
• Hydrated products of CSA BINDER are hydration alumina gel, ettringite crystals and hydrated calcium silicate, can avoid the strength decreasing.
• CSA BINDER is a low alkali cement, can avoid the re-alkali.
• Hydrated products ettringite crystals, is an expansive crystalline substance which is formed very stable over time, can avoid the cracking and shrinkage.
• CSA BINDER is also a low CO2Emissions cement
• Rheology Adapted to the Application
• Sulphate Resistance
• etc.
