Composite Cement (CC)
Composite Cement (CC) is made with a blend of Portland cement and other supplementary materials such as slag, fly ash and limestone. These elements help enhance the strength, durability, and sustainability of the cement and makes it suitable for a variety of construction projects. Particularly valued for its resistance to sulfate and chloride attacks, Composite Cement is an ideal choice for use in aggressive environmental conditions such as industrial zones and coastal areas.
The supplementary materials present in Composite Cement (CC) improve the finish of the cement and thus it is considered perfect for aesthetic architectural projects. Moreover, this cement also reduces the carbon footprint of construction by promoting environmentally responsible building practices.
Key Benefits
-
Balanced Strength and Durability: Ideal for both structural and non-structural applications.
-
Sustainability: Reduces carbon emissions through the use of supplementary materials.
-
Enhanced Resistance: Superior protection against sulfate and chloride attacks.
-
Smooth Finish: Ideal for projects requiring a high-quality surface finish.
