Product Description
53 Grade Cement is a prime brand cement with a remarkably high C3S(Tri Calcium Silicate) providing long-lasting durability to concrete structures.
ADVANTAGES
  • Gives more flexibility to architects and engineers to design sleeker and economical sections.
  • Develops high early strength so that form work of slabs and beams can be removed much earlier resulting in faster speed of construction and saving in centering cost.
  • Produces highly durable and sound concrete due to very low percentage of alkalis, chlorides, magnesia and free lime in its composition.
  • Almost a negligible chloride content results in restraining corrosion of concrete structure in hostile environment.
  • Significant saving in cement consumption while making concrete of grades M15, M20 & M25 and pre-cast segments due to high early strength.

IDEAL APPLICATIONS

  • High-rise Buildings, Residential, Commercial & Industrial Complexes
  • Roads, runways, bridges and flyovers.
  • Defense Constructions
  • For heavy defense structures like Bunkers
  • Pre-stressed concrete structures
