Zuari 43OPC Cement HDPE Bag

Zuari Cement: 43 GRADE ORDINARY PORTLAND

Benefits: In compliance with IS 269:2015 • Suitable for all types of construction works • Preferable for M20 & above grades of concrete • High compressive strength • Less micro cracking Applications: General Civil Engineering construction work • RCC works preferably for M20 & above grade concrete • Pre cast items such as blocks, tiles, pipes, manholes etc • For concrete and non structural works such as plastering, flooring and masonry works like brickworks, blockworks

In compliance with IS:8112-2013 ZUARI CEMENT 43 GRADE meets all standards laid down by BIS. Moreover it surpasses the requirements within the prescribed limits.

Most popular general purpose cement in India Most of the cement used in India is OPC 43 grade. It’s because of it slow initial setting time and high final strength. It can be used for all general purpose works. This allows structural consultant more time to monitor and modify structures.

Preferable for M20 & above grade concrete ZUARI CEMENT 43 GRADE is preferable for M20 & above grade concrete. It is used in general Civil Engineering construction work i.e. RCC work, brick masonry, plastering, pointing, flooring etc.

High Final strength ZUARI CEMENT 43 GRADE attains same final strength as OPC 53 grade cement. This is possible with the help of our superior quality raw material selection and state of the art blending mechanism.

Less micro cracking In ZUARI CEMENT 43 GRADE cement the initial setting of cement is slower than OPC 53 grade cement. In other words, the hydration process is not so fast i.e. release of heat is less as in case of OPC 53 grade and hence micro cracking is less which is controlled by proper curing of structure.
