Saqar - Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement (SRC)

SRC cement is used for Foundations, piles, basements and underground structures,Sewage and Water treatment plants and Coastal works, construction of building along the coastal area within 25 km from coast.

Standard:

Saqar - Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement (SRC) CEM I (42.5 R)

SRC is defined as the hydraulic bonding grey fine powder which is the result of crushing a dry mix made of SRC clinker and gypsum.
Adding and mixing water to it harden this grey fine powder, and this is what makes it resistant to water and able to bear compressive stresses, as well as resistant to sulfates that exist in soil, such as clay soil. In this type of cement, it is necessary to decrease the ratio C3A less than 3.5%, because this component reacts with Ca SO4, which exists in soil or water. The result of this reaction is called Ettringite, which causes an increase in the concrete volume then causes cracks that lead to concrete failures.

Uses and applications :
It can be used in all concrete constructions such as reinforced concrete foundations, sewage drainage tanks, bridge foundations, piles...which are exposed to be directly affected by sulfates. It can also be used in sewage concrete pipes and lining steel pipes.
