Features

• Heat of hydration is 30% less than OPC and hence good for massive construction.
• No adverse impact on corrosion of reinforcement steel.
• Better choice than OPC for construction of structures in coastal and marine areas.
• Better resistance to chlorides and sulphates than OPC.
• High compressive strength.  Gains strength up to one year unlike OPC.
• Exceeds OPC strength beyond 90 days.
• Gives smoother finishing to structures.
• Low porosity, permissibility and dense concrete.
• High workability and slow retention due to improved water retention properties.
• Reduces thermal cracks.
• Reduces green house gas emission.

Applications

• Used in mass concrete works like dams, spillways, retaining walls where OPC is not suitable.
• All types of RCC work
• Underground structures, bridges.
• General building works.
• Hydro- power stations.
• Dams, roller compacted concrete etc.
• Column, beam, slab and all structural works.
• Brick and stone masonry, plastering and flooring.
• For cement concrete roads.
