Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement (SRPC)

///Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement (SRPC)
Product Details

Category: ,

Product Description
Concrete made with Sulphate Resisting Cement is less vulnerable to sulphate attacks because its C3A is lower than 5% - thereby reducing the formation of Ettringite (expansive hydrates). Sulphate Resisting Cement is manufactured from a synthesis of different specific standard raw materials of high purity under strict supervision of an expert technical team.
ADVANTAGES
  • Complete assurance against Sulphate Attack.
  • Enhanced life and durability of Structure under aggressive conditions.
  • Progressive high compressive strength.
  • Corrosion resistance of steel by preventing sulphate and chloride attack.
IDEAL APPLICATIONS
  • Ports, Harbors, Docks
  • Dams exposed to saline and polluted water
  • Construction activity in saline land
  • Construction exposed to sea water, e.g. sea walls, break water, tetrapods
  • Construction of sewage and drainage system
  • Effluent treatment plants
  • Chimney, cooling towers
  • Chemicals industries, water storage, underground foundations, etc.
