ATZ Portland Cement CEM I 42.5R is a pure portland cement made from top-quality clinker, ground with gypsum and no extenders, ensuring rapid early strength and reliability.
Applications
This cement excels in creating concrete for foundations, slabs, and precast items, as well as mortar for bricklaying and plaster for smooth wall finishes. It’s also great for producing sturdy bricks and performs reliably in low-temperature settings thanks to its quick hardening.
ATZ Portland Cement CEM I 42.5R ensures steady quality and strength. It pairs well with typical admixtures but avoid mixing with fly ash or slag.
Specification
ATZ Portland Cement CEM I 42.5R meets the 42.5R strength class of EN 197-1:2011 for common cements. “CEM I” indicates pure Portland cement, with minor variations based on the production plant.
