A dental filling material or precursor thereof for use in therapy, which material comprises lithium and is capable of releasing lithium under physiological conditions.

An object of the present invention is to provide a two-paste type dental resin-reinforced glass ionomer cement composition which exhibit high surface curability even under wet conditions, which makes difficult for the surface to become cloudy even if moisture comes in contact with at the initial stage of curing, exhibits high mechanical properties, low water absorption expansion and excellent coloring resistance in the set product and is also excellent in storage stability. The two-paste type dental resin-reinforced glass ionomer cement composition of the present invention consists of two pastes, wherein at least one of the two pastes contains (a) acid-reactive glass powder, (b) polymer of acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer, (c) water, (d) hydroxyl group-containing (meth)acrylate-based polymerizable monomer, (e) tri or more functional (meth)acrylamide-based polymerizable monomer, and (f) polymerization initiator, wherein the paste containing the (c) water does not contain at least one of the (a) acid-reactive glass powder and the (b) polymer of acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer.

What are described are a process for producing an insulating product for the refractory industry or an insulating material as intermediate for production of such a product, and a corresponding insulating material/insulating product. Likewise described are the use of a matrix encapsulation process in the production of an insulating product for the refractory industry and a corresponding insulating product and/or an insulating material as intermediate for production of such a product.

Lithium-treated calcium aluminate cement (CAC)-based products, concretes, and related techniques are disclosed. In accordance with some embodiments, a lithium-treated CAC mixture may be produced by intergrinding ground-down CAC, class C fly ash, a lithium compound, and a polycarboxylate material. In accordance with some embodiments, a cementitious material may be produced by intergrinding said lithium-treated CAC mixture with class C fly ash, sodium citrate, and a polycarboxylate material. In accordance with some embodiments, a concrete may be produced by mixing said cementitious material (including said lithium-treated CAC mixture) with rock, sand, and water.
