Product Overview

We are offering Ordinary Portland Cement - Grade 32.5/33, which is the most commonly used type of cement in the world today. Portland cement can be found in both concrete and mortar, not to mention other construction mediums such as stucco and some types of grout, where it acts as a binding agent. On a chemical level, Portland cement is a fine powder comprised of a minimum of 66% calcium silicate, with the remainder largely being a mix of aluminum, and iron. Portland cement is a hydraulic material, which requires the addition of water in order to form exothermic bonds, and is not soluble in water. Originally designed as a cement which would set slowly, allowing enough time for it to be properly laid, and a water resistant cement which could be used in construction applications where water would come in contact with the cement, Portland cement was first patented in 1824 by an English man, Joseph Aspdin, but the mix which became truly successful, and which is still used today, was designed by his son, William Aspdin in around 1843.

32.5/33 Grade Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC 32.5/33) ?This grade of cement is now very rarely used, as higher strength cements have become increasingly popular. It is suitable for general uses such as general paving and mass concreting, but may be hard to find as it has been phased out in many areas of the world and replaced with either OPC 43 or OPC 53.
