Calcium Aluminate Market: Overview
Calcium
aluminates are a series of minerals produced by collectively heating aluminum
oxide and calcium oxide at high temperatures. These exhibit outstanding
characteristics such as resistance to heat, abrasion, and corrosion. Calcium
aluminates are often used in the advancement of materials and formulation
technologies.
Calcium
aluminates are easily available in large volumes. These compounds contain
metallic oxide and negatively-charged alumina ion. They are used in various
end-use applications such as ceramics manufacturing, water treatment, and
cement formulations.
Calcium
aluminates are available in different phases such as monocalcium aluminate
(known as CA with chemical formula CaO·Al2O3), tricalcium
aluminate (known as C3A with chemical formula 3CaO·Al2O3), and dodecacalcium
hepta-aluminate (known as C12A7 with chemical formula 12CaO·7Al2O3).
Calcium
aluminate is commonly employed in the manufacture of cements (also known as
aluminous cement) and refractories. Other uses of calcium aluminate comprise
metallurgy, desulfurization of ladle furnace, mineral reagents, and
high-performance binders.
Calcium Aluminate Market: Drivers & Restraints
Calcium
aluminate cements that are used in the construction industry are made up of
lime-alumina compounds as their primary reactive phase. Calcium aluminate
cements are alternatively known as high alumina cements (HACs) or aluminous
cements. Requirement of sulfate resistant cements has led to the development of
these cements. Calcium aluminate cements are primarily used as binders in
monolithic refractories. Other applications include chemical resistant concretes
and mortars, protective coatings, sewer applications, industrial flooring
products, tile adhesives, and expansive grouts. Calcium aluminate cements are
also employed in building chemistry products and mining.

Calcium
aluminates are used in reducing ladle slag in steel refining. The usage of
calcium aluminates have increased due to the requirement of fluorspar-free
ladle slag fluxing, and their use being a very cost effective approach. The
usage of fluorspar is limited to aluminum-killed steel workshops. As result,
the usage of calcium aluminate as increased as substitute for fluorspar for
effective and rapid fluidization of calcium oxide (CaO). The usage of calcium
aluminate enables dilution of manganese oxide (MnO) and iron oxide (FeO) levels
in the carryover slag and offers fluidity and basicity essential for efficient
steel refining in the ladle.
Calcium Aluminate Market: Key Segments
Calcium
aluminates are also used for desulfurization in the ladle furnace, which is a
major metallurgy application. The usage of calcium aluminates enables quick
generation of highly reactive slag, which is then saturated with lime,
resulting in ideal desulfurization.
Calcium
aluminate is also used as high-performance binder in mortars and concretes that
are employed in specific applications where resistance to heat, abrasion, and
corrosion is required in combination with rapid setting. Based on these
parameters, different grades of calcium aluminates are available in the calcium
aluminate market. Hydraulic binders of calcium aluminates are produced when
calcium aluminates are combined with other required components. As a result,
calcium aluminates can be employed as complex hydraulic binders and mineral
reagents.
Calcium
aluminate is also used as reagent in non-hydraulic systems in foundries and
metallurgical treatments in steel and iron industries. These applications
consume particular grades of calcium aluminate for entrapment of molten metal
impurities, owing to its low-temperature melting properties.

Calcium Aluminate Market: Regional Outlook
Based on
geography, the global calcium
aluminate market for can be classified into North America, Latin
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. In terms of
demand, Asia Pacific is the leading region of the global calcium aluminate
market, followed by Europe and North America, respectively. Countries such as
China, India, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, and Vietnam are projected to
contribute significantly to the calcium aluminate market in Asia Pacific in the
near future. Asia Pacific is also projected to continue its dominance in the
global calcium aluminate market during the forecast period. China is expected
to be the leading consumer of calcium aluminate in the region in the near
future.
North
America is one of the high potential regions of the global calcium aluminate
market; the U.S. dominates the calcium aluminate market in the region in terms
of demand. Demand for calcium aluminate market in Western Europe is likely to
be higher than that in Rest of Europe in the next few years.
