Product Description: Portland Cement

Overview

Portland cement is a finely ground powder made primarily from limestone and clay. It is a fundamental ingredient in concrete, mortar, and many construction materials, known for its strength and versatility. Portland cement is used extensively in both residential and commercial construction projects.

Uses

• Concrete Production: Essential for creating durable and high-strength concrete for buildings, bridges, roads, and other structures.

• Mortar and Grout: Used in masonry work for bonding bricks, stones, and tiles.

• Plaster: Provides a smooth finish on walls and ceilings.

• Precast Products: Integral in the manufacturing of precast concrete products such as pipes, blocks, and panels.

• Soil Stabilization: Improves the load-bearing capacity of soil in foundation work.
