Types of Cement
Rapid Hardening Portland Cement
Rapid Hardening Portland Cement(RHPC) is a special purpose cement used in concrete to achieve a higher rate of early strength development, compared to using Normal Cement. The improved early performance of RHPC is achieved principally through increased product fineness. Typical applications of RHPC include precast concrete production, concrete masonry, urgent repair work and cold weather concreting.
Extra Rapid Hardening Cement
An extra rapid hardening cement ideal for concreting and mortar applications where early opening to traffic is essential. When mixed with site aggregates it produces a fast setting, early high strength mortar or concrete. It is ideal for use on cable box floors, road crossings, and sign and camera bases. Exceptional strength gain Up to 20N/mm squared can be achieved in one hour Versatile - can be mixed to produce concrete or mortar Early opening to traffic More economical than proprietary mixes
Low Heat Concrete/concrete
Low Heat concretes are designed to generate a much lower heat of hydration than standard concrete. This is important in mass concrete applications such as dam walls, thrust blocks, mass concrete footings or other large elements. The low heat characteristics mean that cracking is less likely due to the smaller heat variations that occur as the concrete sets. Features & Benefits | Lower heat of hydration than standard concrete | Excellent for mass concrete applications/large elements |
White Concrete/cement
White portland cement is perfect for decorative concrete because it provides a neutral tinting base. This allows for the brightest, richest colors to be achieved in concrete, and requires the least amount of pigment to accomplish the chosen color. Conversely, where muted colors are wanted, white cement allows for the cleanest pastels. And, where no color at all is desired, white cement allows for bright white concrete to be made.
