(per 40 kg)

Type I

one of the most cheapest

most widely used
full strength after 28 days
Best in overall quality and
consistency
High early and final day strength
faster setting time
High performance
Consistent strength
compatibility to most chemical and
mineral admixtures or additive

moderate heat Portland cement

used for large concrete pours
resistant to sulfate attack
used for structures in water
used on soil containing moderate
amounts of sulfate
prevents heat build-up
High early strength
slightly lower ultimate strength
higher fineness than Type I
greater heat of hydration
Low heat portland cement
releases heat while setting
slow reacting
High sulfate resistance
Most expensive
