white cement 42.5 and 52.5 type
Microsilica (silica fume) is a by-product from silicon metal or ferrosilicon industries, is an amorphous silicon dioxide SiO2. This product reacts chemically with the calcium hydroxide in the cement paste which yields a calcium silicate hydrate gel that significantly enhances strength and durability. The super fine microsilica fills the voids between cement particles creating a very dense, less permeable concrete. White Cement advantages: Sustainability: Solar Reflectance Index (SRI): Floors finished with white or pastel color concrete will have a much higher SRI than floors with gray concrete, therefore they will reflect light better, and generate energy savings for the lifetime of the floors. Reduction of Heat Island effect: By constructing buildings with white concrete roofs or light-colored roof tiles, the Heat Island Effect is reduced from surfaces generating less heat and improved reflectivity. Architectural Concrete: White Portland Cement is ideal for decorative concrete and Architectural Concrete applications, Masonry and Cementitious Building Products. A key advantage of using white cement for these applications is that it provides a base color that can be tinted to custom colors to meet any color spectrum demand.
Fly ash is a by-product produced while burning finely ground coal in a boiler to produce electricity. It is removed from the plant exhaust gases primarily by electrostatic precipitators or baghouses and secondarily by scrubber systems. Physically, fly ash is a very fine, powdery material, composed mostly of silica. Nearly all particles are spherical in shape. Fly ash is a pozzolan, a siliceous material which in the presence of water will react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to produce cementitious compounds. SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and occasionally CaO are the main chemical components present in fly ashes. Fly ash significantly improves concrete performance in different ways and also provides many benefits in cement and non-cement applications. Fly Ash colour can vary from grey and dark grey, yellowish tan and light to brownish. ADVANTAGES OF FLY ASH IN CONCRETE Fly Ash is a Pozzolan Improves concrete workability and lowers water demand Sulfate and Alkali Aggregate Resistancet Rise in compressive strength over time Environment friendly CEMENTATION Fly Ash is optimized for its fineness while reducing the water demand and improving the chemical compositions to maximise its benefits when used in concrete. Fly-ash can also be used as an add-on to concrete mixture with pozzolanic and/or latent hydraulic properties. We at CEMENTATION selectively collect fly ash and subject to rigorous testing, further refines these collected materials to produce quality fly ash products meeting the needs of our customers.
Cement clinker is a solid material produced in the manufacture of Portland cement as an intermediary product. Clinker occurs as lumps or nodules, usually 3 millimetres to 25 millimetres in diameter.
