Star Cement PPC is a type of blended cement that combines the benefits of Portland cement and pozzolana. It is suitable for general construction, including buildings, bridges, and roads.
Key Features:
1. Strength: High compressive strength (33-43 MPa)
2. Durability: Resistant to chemical attacks and weathering
3. Workability: Good flowability and consistency
4. Setting Time: Normal setting time (30-60 minutes)
5. Heat of Hydration: Lower heat of hydration reduces thermal cracking
Technical Specifications:
1. Cement Type: PPC (Pozzolana Portland Cement)
2. IS Standard: IS 1489 (Part 1):2015
3. Grade: 33 Grade
