TYPES OF GRADES OF CEMENS AVAILABLE: Sl. No.

TYPES OF GRADES

DEFNITION

1

OPC Grade

OPC means Ordinary Portland Cement is a fully automated and dry manufacturing process. It is available in two different grades-OPC-43 & OPC-53

2

OPC-43

This type of cement is used for plain concrete work and plastering works.

3

OPC-53

This type of cement is used for the structural purposes as in reinforced cement concrete.

4

PPC Grade

PPC means Portland Pozzolana Cement is a fully automated and dry manufacturing process and also contains gypsum and pozzolanic materials. This Cement is used for all types of constructions especially for dams & bridges where strong resistivity is required. It also offers the best surface finish.

5

PSC Grade

PSC means Portland Slag Cement is manufactured by inter-grinding in Portland Cement clinker. This Cement has replaced partially Ordinary Portland Cement and has many environmental and economic benefits.

6

Super Grade

Super grade Cement contains high strength. This type of Cement uses advanced techniques and manufactured by limited companies like Ultratech, Ramco cement.
