ATZ PORTLAND CEMENT CEM I 42.5N is pure portland cement made from top-quality clinker ground with gypsum, with no extenders, ensuring reliable strength and durability.
Applications
This cement is ideal for concrete foundations, slabs, precast elements, mortar for bricklaying, and plaster for smooth finishes. ATZ PORTLAND CEMENT CEM I 42.5N ensures consistent quality and strength, performs well in moderate temperatures, and is compatible with common chemical admixtures. It should not be mixed with materials like fly ash or ground granulated blast-furnace slag to maintain its intended properties.
Specification
ATZ PORTLAND CEMENT CEM I 42.5N meets the 42.5N strength class of EN 197-1:2011 for common cement.
