Tricalcium Silicon Pentaoxide (CAT: M052465), also known as Alite, is a major component of Portland cement and plays a crucial role in the setting and hardening process. It is a calcium silicate compound that reacts with water to form calcium silicate hydrate and calcium hydroxide, contributing to the strength and durability of concrete. The hydration of Tricalcium Silicon Pentaoxide is responsible for the early strength development in cementitious materials, making it essential in construction and civil engineering research. Its properties are also studied to improve the efficiency and environmental impact of cement production.
