Calcium aluminate cements are cements consisting predominantly of hydraulic calcium aluminates. Alternative names are "aluminous cement", "high-alumina cement" and "ciment fondu". They are used in a number of small-scale, specialist applications.
The method of making cement from limestone and low-silica bauxite was patented in France in 1908 by Bied of the Pavin de Lafarge Company. The initial development was as a result of the search for a cement offering sulfate resistance. The cement was called "Ciment Fondu". Subsequently, its other special properties were discovered, and these guaranteed its future in niche applications.
