The
eco-friendly and user friendly cement.
Anjani Gold Cement has been
developed in response to today's need for
environment friendly products that are cost
effective, durable and have minimal by-products.
Durability is a very important
property in concrete. And durability here means
concrete that withstands the entire life span of
structures like homes and residences that are
lifetime investments. Since distress of concrete and
early failure of structures is a common phenomenon,
research over a period of time helped develop
various remedial measures that improved durability
and cost economics. One of them being blended
Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), with complementary
pozzolanic and cementitious materials like fly ash,
blast furnace slag, rise husk, etc. and Anjani Gold
is a fine example of it.
Factors
that make Anjani Gold
Cement more durable
The heat of hydration of Anjani
Gold is lower at early stages as compares to
ordinary and rapid hardening cement. Thus preventing
irreversible cracks caused by thermal stresses at
the early stages.
Anjani Gold Cement gives more
cement volume per bag as compare to ordinary cement
because the specific gravity of Anjani Gold is much
lower than portland cement.
Since the fly ash gel pores in
Anjani Gold become narrowed by hydration of fly ash,
it offers greater resistance to aggressive chemicals
in the environment. It has minimum segregation and
bleeding, much lower when compared with other
Portland pozzolana cements.
- Improved Corrosion
resistance
As movement of corrosion causing
soluble chlorides is restricted, corrosion of
reinforcement steel is reduced by using Anjani Gold
Cement.
- Increased ultimate
Strength
Anjani Gold Cement is produced by
blending high quality fly ash with a very high
quality clinker. This provides very high compressive
strength for 28 days. Additionally, Anjani Gold
gains strength for 60 days, slowly and consistently,
as against 14 days by ordinary cement helping
constructions gain in durability.
- Increased compressive
Strength
Anjani Gold Cement improves
durability of the concrete /mortar in cases of mass
construction and enhances long term gain of
compressive strengths.
- For the benefit of
customers
Concrete in its early stages is
tender and weak. This is the stage when it is more
likely to develop cracks that can never be
rectified. Pay extra attention to curing, as it
imparts the structure long term high strength.
Fine
examples of blended Portland cement
A 72 storey office building
measuring 1,75,000 sq.mtrs. was built way back in
1986 in Dallas, Texas, USA using fly ash concrete of
83 MPa(strength). The world's tallest building, the
Petronas Towers, measuring 452 mtrs, in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, was built using 20% fly ash in
cement. The modern miracle, the under sea Euro
Tunnel, owes its 120 years guaranteed life to
blended cement.
The world uses it. Experts
recommend it. There are fine standing testimonies of
its strength and durability. |
