Sulphate Resistant CementComposition Properties Uses
Sulphate Resisting Cement is a type of Portland Cement in which the amount of tricalcium aluminate C3A is restricted to lower than 5 and 2C 3A C4AF lower than 25 which reduces the formation of sulphate salts The reduction of sulphate salts lowers the possibility of sulphate attack on the concrete
