Fine powder, which first tends to harden when mixed with water or aqueous solutions and then hardens, forming a concrete together with fillers. This process includes the hydrolysis of calcium aluminate to calcium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide, which react with calcium silicates to form crystalline aluminosilicates of calcium.
