ABCI'S PRODUCT Sulphate Resisting
Sulphate Resisting
Portland Cement (SRPC) 42.5 N
SRC is a type of Portland cement that has low Tricalcium Aluminate (C3A) content and is designed to improve the performance of concrete against sulphate attack which may be present in soil, ground water etc. Sulphate resistance is achieved by limiting the level of C3A in cement, the main component hindering the resistance to sulphate attack.
Sulphate attacks result in a series of chemical reactions in hardened cement paste in the presence of sulphate ions. This results in the product occupying greater volume than the host reactants thus causing internal expansion & deterioration of the concrete elements.
SRC provides the highest resistance against sulphate ions. It is produced by inter-grinding of cement clinker & a small quantity of gypsum. It conforms to both BS 4027:1996 & ASTM C 150 Type V.
Application: Structural concrete subject to sulphate-rich environments, blinding/PCC, sewage treatment structures,
mass concrete structures, piles, foundations, underground structures, precast concrete, etc.
