Highly reactive calcium aluminate

for special mortars

 TERNAL® SE is a highly reactive calcium aluminate specifically designed
for use in building and construction products.
TERNAL® SE has been designed for special cements and mortars that
require rapid return to service and predictable behavior on job sites.

❃ Very fast setting times

❃ Ultra-rapid hardening kinetics
❃ Excellent performance at low temperatures
BENEFITS ❃ High long-term strengths
❃ Formulation robustness

TERNAL® SE is particularly suitable for applications where rapidity is a

key characteristic, such as rapid hardening cements and concretes,
quick repair mortars, waterstops, non-shrink grouts, cement
boards…

TERNAL® SE is characterized by its tightly controlled reactivity

which results from the use of optimized process control
of chemical and mineralogical composition and fineness
during manufacture.

TERNAL® SE is produced and controlled within a quality

management system that is certified according to ISO
9001 standard requirements.
 Designed primarily for use
as a Portland cement additive

Ternary composition for a mineral binder

TERNAL® SE has been designed to formulate mortars in the zones of composition 1 and 2. Its dosage
will vary according to the drymix mortar technical requirements set by the application.
The best performance will result from the co-addition of calcium sulfate and fine adjustments with
classical additives.

FORMULATION GUIDELINES FOR FAST SET/EARLY STRENGTH MORTARS

%
Portland cement 14-25

4-10 Ratio TERNAL® SE/Calcium sulfate

should ideally be in the range 2-3
Calcium sulfate 0-5 All types of calcium sulfates
Hydrated lime 0-1.5 Option to boost early strengths
Superplasticizer 0-0.1 Robustness and performance aid
Retarders (e.g. organic acids) ~ 0.1
Accelerators
(e.g. carbonate alkalis) ~ 0.1
Limestone + silica fillers
and sands balance to 100%

As with all Calcium Aluminate from the TERNAL® range, excellent performance is also
achieved when formulating according to composition in zone 3.
