PSC Cement
Portland Slag Cement (PSC) is a blended cement that combines Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) with granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS). This cement is renowned for its superior durability, resistance to chemical attacks, and eco-friendliness. PSC cement is widely used in infrastructure, marine works, and projects requiring enhanced longevity. It conforms to IS 455 standards, ensuring top-notch quality and reliability.
Key Features
- High Durability: Exceptional resistance to sulfates, chlorides, and alkalis, making it ideal for aggressive environments.
- Enhanced Workability: Smooth mixability and better finish in construction.
- Eco-Friendly: Reduces carbon emissions due to the use of slag, a by-product of steel production.
- Low Heat of Hydration: Minimizes the risk of thermal cracking in large concrete structures.
- Increased Longevity: Delivers durable and long-lasting structures.
Applications
- Marine Structures: Ideal for jetties, ports, and docks due to its resistance to chloride and sulfate attacks.
- Industrial Construction: Used in chemical plants and factories exposed to harsh environments.
- Dams and Foundations: Suitable for massive concrete works due to low heat generation.
- Roads and Bridges: Enhances durability under heavy traffic and environmental wear.
- Residential and Commercial Buildings: Perfect for general construction requiring longevity and cost-efficiency.
