What is Arabian Star (PLC) Portland Limestone Cement?
Arabian Star Portland Limestone Cement is a blended cement containing 5% to 15% limestone, enhancing sustainability while maintaining performance similar to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC).
What are the benefits of using Portland Limestone Cement?
Benefits include reduced alkali content, improved workability, better resistance to bleeding, and lower carbon emissions compared to traditional OPC.
Can Portland Limestone Cement be used in all concrete applications?
It can be used in various applications such as precast concrete, readymix, mortar, render, and grouts.
How does the limestone content affect the performance of the cement?
Limestone content enhances hydration efficiency and improves early-age strength, maintaining or even increasing concrete strength compared to conventional cement.
What is the recommended water-to-cement ratio for optimal performance?
PLC allows for a similar water-to-cement ratio as OPC, with slight adjustments based on specific gravity and water demand.
Is there any impact on setting time when using Portland Limestone Cement?
PLC may result in a slight change in setting time, with finer limestone decreasing setting time but remaining within acceptable limits.
How does this cement contribute to environmental sustainability?
It reduces carbon emissions during production due to a lower energy requirement for grinding limestone, making it environmentally friendly.
What is UltraTech Portland Limestone Cement (PLC)?
UltraTech Portland Limestone Cement (PLC) is a blended cement made by inter-grinding Portland cement clinker with 5% to 15% limestone. It offers similar properties to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) but has a lower carbon footprint and generates less ...
What are the key benefits of using PLC?
The key benefits of using PLC include reduced environmental impact due to lower carbon emissions, improved durability, and enhanced workability.
What is the compressive strength of UltraTech PLC?
UltraTech PLC generally achieves a compressive strength of approximately 58 MPa after 28 days of curing, making it suitable for various construction applications.
How does PLC compare to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC)?
PLC is more environmentally friendly than OPC, with lower limestone content and reduced heat during hydration, helping mitigate issues like cracking in large pours.
What is the initial setting time for UltraTech PLC?
The initial setting time for UltraTech PLC is around 150 minutes, providing adequate workability before setting begins.
In what applications can UltraTech PLC be used?
UltraTech PLC can be used in residential construction, pavements, precast concrete products, and infrastructure projects.
What are the packaging details for UltraTech PLC?
UltraTech PLC is packaged in 50 kg paper sack bags for convenient handling and transport.
