Calcium silicates

Calcium silicates are compounds made from calcium and silicon, commonly found in construction materials like cement and concrete. They are important because they give strength and durability to these materials, allowing buildings, bridges, and roads to withstand various stresses. Calcium silicates form a crystalline structure that solidifies and binds other components together, contributing to the material's stability and durability. They also play a role in controlling the setting and hardening process during construction, ensuring the finished structure is strong and long-lasting.
