Portland Pozzolana Cement
Lafarge PPC is high performance blended cement, produced with pulverized clinker (higher than 43 grade) and the most consistent electrostatically precipitated flyash. This provides much higher compressive strength than 43 grade OPC at 28 days. The unique chemical properties of the Lafarge PPC are achieved through the help of Lafarge's transnational Research Centers in Paris & Kuala Lumpur.
Lafarge PPC is a very high performance blended cement which exceeds the BIS specification of IS: 1489-Part 1:1991
APPLICATIONS
- Very low drying shrinkage which minimizes cracks in concrete.
- Very low content of unburnt carbon particles
- Low heat of hydration in the concrete
- Low C3A content increases resistance of the concrete to the sulphate attack.
- Protects against weather attack.
- Less porous & impermeable concrete structures.
- Corrosion resistance concrete
- Highly reactive flyash helps in improving the density of concrete matrix thus increasing the durability factor.
- State-of-the-art process technology ensures automatic transfer of the flyash to grinding unit, thus minimizing the risk of the deterioration through manual handling of the flyash.
- Gives better performance than OPC & gives high durability to the structure
APPLICATIONS
Lafarge PPC is easily replaces OPC and provides advantages for practically all types of the construction applications -Residential Building, Complexes, RCC work, Multistoried buildings, Mass concrete works, underground concrete works like foundations, roofing and all types of plasters, masonry works, tile fixing work etc.
Unique features of Lafarge PPC make it suitable cement for heavy-duty structures like flyovers, dams, aqueducts & marine structures, for producing asbestos cement products and also for sub soil constructions and structures in hostile soil environment with high salinity, moisture and harmful chemical agents.
BRANDS
Lafarge Duraguard & Lafarge Concreto are the two brands in which the Lafarge PPP is available in our core markets.
Lafarge PPC is available in 50 kg bags. The PPC drawn from its silos is fed directly to the automatic rotary packers for bagging & then loaded into trucks & rail wagons for delivery at different destinations. Bulk cement may also be loaded directly from silos for delivery at specific locations.
