TERNAL® high-alumina cements play a vital role in the development of innovative solutions specifically designed for the needs of the construction industry.
They were developed to offer improved properties than the multi-purpose calcium aluminate cement CIMENT FONDU®.
They are mostly used as part of the hydraulic binder of drymix mortar formulations, together with other hydraulic binders (such as Portland cement, calcium sulphates and lime), aggregates and fillers (limestone, silica sand, pozzolanic materials, etc.), polymers and organic admixtures. Depending on the formulation characteristics, TERNAL® products can deliver a unique set of performance to the most demanding building chemistry applications:
Setting time control
Fast hardening
Fast drying
Size variation control
Colour stability and durability
Corrosion resistance
Abrasion resistance
High mechanical strength
TERNAL® products benefit from the latest technological innovation in terms of industrial know-how and performance reliability. As such, they are ideally suited to the needs of drymix mortar producers, enabling to achieve a wider range of performance:
TERNAL® RG
The core product of the range, was specially developed to provide consistency and secured performance ; these characteristics being recognized as the most critical to the production and the use of drymix mortars. Due to its versatility and exceptional consistency, TERNAL® RG is the reference product for a wide range of demanding applications, including flooring, adhesives, tiling and technical mortars (for repairs, sealing, filling, etc.).
TERNAL® SE
Is a calcium aluminate suitable for use in special and technical mortars requiring rapid return to service, even at low temperatures. The best performance is delivered when used as an admixture to Portland cement in combination with calcium sulphate, together with fine adjustments of classical admixtures. TERNAL® SE is particularly intended for use in quick-setting cements and concretes, quick-repair mortars, sealing mortars and anchoring mortars.
TERNAL® White
Has been developed to meet specific demand from the building and construction industry. Its whiteness and purity enable to develop formulated products which combine excellent aesthetic characteristics with secured performance and consistency. Its ultra whiteness allows drymix mortar formulators to easily obtain any coloration needed. TERNAL® White is compatible with a wide range of pigments. Its low alkalinity brings non-efflorescence property and improved colour durability TERNAL® White is used in drymix mortars with aesthetic requirements, such as adhesives for natural stone and marble, coloured grouting, or self levelling decorative flooring. It is also widely used in fine mortars and plasters for repairing and levelling walls.
TERNAL® LC
Offers the same properties as TERNAL® RG and TERNAL® White, with an intermediate grey colour. It is particularly suitable for finished products where a light colour is required.
TERNAL® EV
The latest innovation in calcium aluminate technology, TERNAL® EV allows the development of a distinctive range of high performance flooring compounds.
