Calcium aluminate (CaAlO3) is a ceramic compound formed from calcium and aluminum oxides, belonging to the family of alkaline earth aluminates. It is used primarily in high-temperature applications and specialty cement formulations, particularly in rapid-setting calcium aluminate cements (CAC) where fast strength development and thermal stability are critical. The material is valued in refractory systems, insulating castables, and industrial coatings where conventional Portland cement would fail due to temperature exposure or chemical attack.
