Type IP (HS) (25) Portland Cement
This is a specialized type of hydraulic cement formulated for specific construction needs. Here’s a breakdown of its components and key properties:
Type IP: This designation refers to a Portland-Pozzolan Cement. It is a blended cement made by combining Portland cement with pozzolanic materials like fly ash, silica fume, or volcanic ash. These materials enhance certain properties of the cement, such as durability and resistance to chemical attack.
HS: Denotes high sulfate resistance. This cement is particularly suitable for environments with high sulfate concentrations, such as soils or groundwater with sulfate exposure, which can degrade standard Portland cement over time.
(25): Indicates that the pozzolan content in the blend is approximately 25%. The pozzolan improves durability, reduces heat of hydration, mitigates ASR and contributes to sustainability by reducing clinker content.
