Silicate Based Chemsil Cement
Chemsil Cement is a silicate based cement.It consists of powder and liquid.The Mortar,which is prepared by mixing the powder with the liquid, sets be a combination of chemical & physical action.This is the only cement which successfully resists attack from high concentrations of all oxidising acids, with the exception of hydrofluoric acid.This cement is used for setting and bonding of acid proof bricks and tiles for the construction of acid proof tank linings,floor surface etc.Due to its resistance to high temperature it is also used for lining chimneys, incinerators, roasters and other high temperature equipments.

Our CHEMSIL Cements are two types:

CHEMSIL - SS - Sodium Silicate Based Cement 
CHEMSIL - KS - Potassium Silicate Based Cement
