CASTAIDCEM 810
High-Performance Quality Enhancer – Improved Flowability and Particle Size Distribution
CASTAID CEM 810 is an advanced cement additive engineered to elevate the performance of the cement production process.
Overview
About
CASTAID CEM 810 is an advanced cement additive engineered to elevate the performance of the cement production process. Tailored for optimized grinding efficiency and enhanced cement flowability, it delivers superior results in the production of Portland or blended hydraulic cements.
Typical uses
CASTAID CEM 810 is recommended for the production of Ordinary Portland Cements (OPC) and blended cements using fly ash, GGBFS and other pozzolanic materials.
Standards
CASTAID CEM 810 meets the requirements of ASTM C465- 85.
Compatibility
CASTAID CEM 810 is compatible with all types of Portland cement and blended cement replacement materials such as GGBS, PFA and limestone, and with all CASTECH range concrete admixtures.
Benefits
Advantages
Key advantages
- Minimizes agglomeration and reduces cement grinding costs and specific energy consumption, amplifying mill productivity
- Addresses pack-set index challenges such as silo blockages and cake formation, for a more efficient production flow
- Improves separator and classifier efficiency and the flowability of the cement transportation system
- Enhances flowability of cement powder in storage silos, optimizing bulk dispatch and handling
- Refines cement particle size distribution (PSD), a critical factor in final product quality
- Active molecules interact consistently with cement, improving workability, early strength and later compressive strength by up to 30%

Application
Dosage
Typical dosage rates of CASTAID CEM 810 are between 0.20 – 1.0 kg per tonne of cement (0.02 – 0.10% by weight of cement). Dosage may vary depending on clinker type, type of cement mill, desired mill output and cement performance. The optimum dosage rate should be determined during full- scale cement mill tests.
Application
CASTAID CEM 810 is a ready-to-use liquid additive. Industrial trials are recommended to determine the ideal dosage for specific requirements.
Improved Flowability and
It can be introduced directly into the mill or onto the feed conveyor belt. For continuous processes, dose with a volumetric dosing pump to ensure a consistent output and precise
Packaging & storage
Packaging
CASTAID CEM 810 is available in IBC, 200 kg drums and bulk tanks upon request.
Storage & shelf life
12 months from date of manufacture when stored under warehouse conditions in original unopened packing. Extreme temperature/humidity may reduce shelf life.
Health & safety
Do not mix with other products without advice from the manufacturer. Should the product freeze, some crystals may appear, which will disappear on agitation or when the temperature rises above freezing. PPE: Suitable protective goggles, gloves and mask must be worn. Precautions: In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water; in case of contact with skin, wash off immediately with soap and water. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately. Hazard: Regarded as non-hazardous for transportation. Disposal: Do not reuse containers. Dispose of as per local rules and regulations.
