Al Qassim Portland Pozzolana Cement
Pozzolanic Portland Cement (PPC) is a type of cement made from natural or synthetic materials containing silica in reactive forms. It reacts with calcium hydroxide produced by hydrated cement to form additional strengthening compounds when well-distributed. It is primarily composed of OPC clinker, gypsum, and pozzolanic materials such as fly ash, volcanic ash, calcined clay, or silica fumes.
Al Qassim Portland Pozzolana Cement is widely used in many construction applications, including:
- Hydraulic concrete structures: Such as dams, bridges, and pavements.
- Concrete works affected by hydration heat: Such as massive concrete pours.
- Construction and plastering works in harsh environmental conditions: Such as areas with high chloride content.
Pozzolanic Portland Cement is a type of cement distinguished by enhanced properties such as increased durability, resistance to corrosion, and heat, thanks to the addition of pozzolanic material. This type of cement is used in numerous construction applications, especially in large-scale projects that require high-quality concrete with long-lasting durability.
