Products > PPC (Portland Pozzolana Cement)
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.
