magnesia cement
sorel cement

Magnesia cement boards were approved for construction use in the US around 2003.

Magnesia cement board for building construction is available is various sizes and thickness.

Presently various magnesia cement boards are widely used in Asia as a primary construction material.

Magnesia cement uses in masonry construction is ancient.

This property also leads to its use in the manufacture of magnesia cements for dental fillings and certain mouthwashes as an active ingredient.

Magnesia cement is manufactured in a number of areas around the world, primarily near areas where Magnesia based ores (periclase) deposits are mined.

Due to its fire resistance and safety ratings, New York and New Jersey were early adopters of Magnesia cement board.

Sorel cement (also known as magnesia cement) is a non-hydraulic cement first produced by Frenchman Stanislas Sorel in 1867.

However, New York City's Brooklyn Bridge base is made from locally mined cement, a mixture of calcium oxide and magnesia cement commonly called Rosendale Natural Cement, the only natural non-fired cement made in the US.

Like all cement mixtures magnesia cements and related mixing recipes and equipment require strict controls in both the raw material going into the mixer as well as the curing process and proper waiting time for setting and handling of the fresh and semi-fresh product.

Bishofit is used in production of the industrial Sorel cement and synthetic carnallite.

Mixed with hydrated magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride forms a hard material called Sorel cement.

Sorel cement, a mixture of general formula: MgCl(OH)

Sorel cement as it is known has been used for grindstones, tiles, artificial stone and even artificial ivory (e.g. for billiard balls).

Sorel cement (also known as magnesia cement) is a non-hydraulic cement first produced by Frenchman Stanislas Sorel in 1867.

Almost every day they came back to the trailer park with samples of new materials: sulphuric acid, sorel cements for the vault mortar, ammonium nitrate explosives, a calcium cyanamide rover fuel, polysulfide rubber, silicon-based hyperacids, emulsifying agents, a selection of test tubes holding trace elements extracted from the salts; and, most recently, clear glass.
