Portland Composite Cement (PCC) 42.5N
“GREEN CEMENT”
The Portland Composite Cement (PCC) supplied by InnoCement is categorised as a “green” product due to its low carbon footprint. This is achieved through the replacement of high energy and carbon intensive clinker with fly ash, blast furnace slag and limestone during the production of the cement.
FULL COMPLIANCE TO MALAYSIAN & INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
The product has been awarded the Product Certification License from SIRIM QAS International and Perakuan Pematuhan Standard (PPS) from Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), a testament of its quality and full compliance to the Malaysian Standard, MS EN 197−1:2014.
HIJAU 50KG
The 50kg cement bag, wrapped in double- layer PP and craft paper, is designed for multiple handling, storage, and delivery making it ideal for small projects.
Benefits of PCC 42.5N
Better Durability
Addition of Fly Ash & Pozzolana
These materials enhance the properties of the concrete.
Reduced Void & Permeability
The incorporation of fly ash and pozzolana reduces the void spaces within the concrete, which decreases its permeability.
Resistance to External Factors
With fewer voids and reduced permeability, the concrete becomes more resistant to penetration by external factors such as water, chemicals, and other potentially damaging substances.
Low Carbon Footprint
Clinker Replacement
PCC 42.5N uses over 30% replacement of clinker with supplementary materials like fly ash and natural pozzolana.
Environmental Impact
Clinker production is energy-intensive and emits a significant amount of CO2. By replacing a portion of clinker, the carbon footprint of the concrete is significantly lowered, contributing to more sustainable construction.
Better Workability
Ease of Handling
The concrete mix is more workable, meaning it can be easily mixed, transported, and compacted.
Construction Efficiency
Better workability facilitates easier and faster construction processes, potentially reducing labor costs and construction time.
Water/Cement Ratio
This improved workability is achieved while maintaining the lowest possible water/cement ratio, which is crucial for maintaining the strength and durability of the concrete.
Minimal Thermal Cracking During Mass Concreting
Low Heat of Hydration
The hydration process (the chemical reaction between cement and water) releases heat. PCC 42.5N emits lower heat due to its lower clinker content.
Reduced Thermal Cracking
High heat of hydration can lead to thermal cracking, especially in large concrete pours. By reducing this heat, PCC 42.5N minimizes the risk of thermal cracking enhancing the structural integrity and longevity of the concrete structure.
Applications of PCC 42.5N
PCC 42.5N can be used for a wide range of applications in concreting and masonry works. The presence of fly ash and natural pozzolana improve its durability and reduce its heat of hydration which make PCC42.5N suitable for marine structure and mass concreting works.
Concreting Works
- For the use in concrete, PCC 42.5N is suitable for producing various types of concrete grades in the construction of buildings, roads, and bridges.
- Suitable for production of pre-cast and ready-mix concrete.
Masonry Works
- InnoCement's PCC 42.5N is suitable for use in a wide variety of masonry works such as for plastering, tile laying, brick laying, floor screeding and rendering.
- The availability of ground fine limestone improve water retentivity of the mix resulting in better plasticity and cohesiveness. It is very suitable for use in masonry works as it spreads easily under the trowel.
