Akij Portland Cement (CEM-I)

Home Akij Portland Cement (CEM-I)

A solid foundation is necessary for a long-lasting building, and stability requires a stronger initial compressive strength. High-strength concrete can produce a greater compressive force by using premium-quality cement as a binder.

Bearing in mind a strong setup for construction, Akij Cement Company Limited manufactures blended cement with strength class 52.5N under the Portland Cement (PC) category. 95–97% clinker is used for producing this type of cement. Besides, 3–5% gypsum is used to control the setting time. Akij Portland Cement (CEM I) is marketed in a 50kg weighted polyfibre bag.
