RAK SRC Cement, Sulphate-Resisting Cement

The key technical specifications of RAK (SRC) Sulfate-Resistant Portland Cement include a compressive strength of 42.5 MPa at 28 days and compliance with ASTM C150 for Type II and Type V cement. It also has a low heat of hydration, making it suitable for massive structures.

Sulfate resistance prevents deterioration caused by sulfates in soil or groundwater, ensuring long-lasting durability for concrete structures exposed to these conditions.

The recommended water-cement ratio for optimal strength and durability is typically around 0.45 to 0.55, which helps ensure proper hydration and reduces porosity in the cured concrete.

Yes, this cement is suitable for marine environments due to its resistance to sulfate attacks from saltwater, making it ideal for coastal constructions.

Storage: Cement should be kept in a cool, dry place and protected from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain its quality and prevent clumping before use.

RAK (SRC) Sulfate-Resistant Portland Cement is considered environmentally friendly in comparison to other types, as it reduces the need for repairs and replacement materials over time, promoting sustainability.

Safety precautions include wearing protective gloves, masks, and goggles to avoid skin irritation and respiratory issues, as well as ensuring proper ventilation in the work area to minimize dust exposure.

It is designed for concrete structures exposed to sulfate-rich environments, such as foundations, marine structures, and areas with sulfate in soil or groundwater.

It meets ASTM C 150-09 Type V and BS 4027:1996 standards, ensuring high sulfate resistance and durability in harsh conditions.

The cement has a compressive strength of approximately 32.5 MPa (4700 psi) at 28 days. It also features high sulfate resistance due to reduced C3A content, contributing to long-term durability and high performance.

The cement minimizes the chemical reaction between sulfates and concrete by reducing the C3A content, which helps prevent degradation in environments with high sulfate exposure.

It offers superior durability in aggressive environments, high early and ultimate strength, and resistance to sulfate attacks that can damage OPC-based concrete.

The cement is available in 50kg bags and can be purchased from various suppliers in stock.

Yes, it contains up to 70% replacement materials, reducing environmental impact while maintaining high performance.
