Cement: More Than One Type, More Than One Impact


🔹 Cement is not just one material… it’s multiple types with different impacts!
In construction, cement may look like a basic material, but the right choice determines:
🛡️ Waterproofing quality
💪 Concrete durability
⏳ Structure’s service life
Key types:
OPC: Conventional applications
SRC: Sulfate resistance & aggressive soils
White Cement: Architectural finishes
Pozzolanic: Sustainable or high-temperature projects
💡 Tip for engineers & contractors: Never rely on cost alone — always match cement type with specifications and site conditions.
