Description

Introduction:

Our Portland Cement Type II, Grade 32.5, is a premium, specially formulated hydraulic cement designed to deliver enhanced durability and performance in challenging environments. It is the ideal choice for construction projects that require moderate resistance to sulfate attack and a lower heat of hydration compared to ordinary Portland cement (Type I). This cement provides a reliable balance of strength, durability, and economic efficiency.

Key Features & Technical Advantages:

• Moderate Sulfate Resistance: The primary advantage of Type II cement is its increased resistance to damage from sulfate ions, which are commonly found in soils and groundwater. This makes it exceptionally suitable for foundations, basements, retaining walls, and any concrete structure in contact with sulfate-bearing soils.
• Moderate Heat of Hydration: By generating less heat during the curing process than Type I cement, it significantly reduces the risk of thermal cracking in medium-mass concrete structures like large piers, heavy abutments, and thick footings. This leads to a more integral and durable final product.
• Grade 32.5 Strength: This grade indicates a compressive strength of 32.5 Megapascals (MPa) after 28 days of curing. It offers a favorable rate of strength development, providing ample workability time while achieving the required structural strength for a wide range of applications.
• Enhanced Durability: The chemical composition of Type II cement contributes to a denser concrete matrix, improving its long-term resistance to weathering and harsh environmental conditions.
• Versatility: While excelling in specific challenging conditions, it remains a highly versatile cement suitable for general construction purposes.

Common Applications:

• Foundations and Sub-structures in areas with moderate sulfate content in the soil.
• Retaining Walls and Basement Walls exposed to damp, sulfate-bearing soils.
• Concrete Pipelines and Culverts that may be in contact with groundwater.
• Pavements and Sidewalks in non-critical areas.
• Pre-cast Concrete Products of medium size.
• Structural Concrete for buildings and bridges where moderate sulfate resistance is specified.
