Portland
Cement - The Different Types
As cement suppliers we
know all there is to know about cement, there are 8 different types
of Portland Cement, they are all basically the same but manufactured
to meet different chemical and physical requirements for specific
applications:
The 1st Type
- This cement is suitable for most uses and is a general
purpose cement.
The 2nd Type
- This type of cement contains moderate amounts of Sulfate
and is used for structures in soil or water.
The 3rd Type - Usually within a week or less this cement
type provides high strength, this is at an early stage.
The 4th Type -
Specifically designed for
massive concrete structures, and example of this would be a Dam.
Moderate heat is generated by Hydration.
The 5th Type -
This cement is capable of
resisting chemical attack by water or soil that is high in Sulfates.
The 6th, 7th & 8th Type - These 3 cements are all
designed to make air-entrained concrete, their properties are the
same as the 1st, 2nd & 3d types but are combined with small amounts
of air-entrained materials. |
