Properties of Calcium Aluminate

Calcium Aluminate is a white powder having the molecular formula CaAl2O4 and a molecular weight of 158.04 g/mol. It has a density of 2.98 g/cm³ and a melting point 1605 °C, which makes it suitable for high-temperature applications. It reacts with water to form calcium aluminate hydrates. It shows resistance to acidic environments due to the stability of its hydration products, which enhances its durability in corrosive settings. These physical and chemical properties make calcium aluminate valuable in construction, refractory materials, and applications requiring quick strength development and chemical resistance.
