This is a slag-based blended cement that imparts strength and durability to all structures. It is manufactured by blending and inter-grinding OPC clinker and granulated slag in suitable proportions as per our norms of consistent quality. PSC has many superior performance characteristics which give it certain extra advantages when compared to Ordinary Portland Cement
It is available in specially designed 50-kg bags.
What is special about ACC PSC?
Compared to OPC, ACC PSC imparts some important additional advantages
Reduction in free lime leaching.
Ultimate higher strength.
Improved workability, reduced bleeding as well as segregation and corrosion.
Denser, less permeable concrete, and mortar.
Better resistance to sulphates, chlorides, and CO2 and alkali-aggregates reaction.
Less heat, reduced plasticity and drying shrinkage.
Increased static modulus of elasticity.
Increased serviceability with less deflection of members and micro cracks and reduced cost of construction and maintenance.
All these factors make for a strong, durable, and longer lasting construction. ACC PSC benefits the structure, protects the environment by reducing CO2 emissions and helps conserve energy. Which is why it is often referred to as an eco-friendly cement.
The Federation International de la Precontrainte (FIP) Guide to Good Practice for "concrete constructions in hot weather," states that if concrete is likely to be exposed to an environment of sulphate-bearing water or soil, it is preferable to use a proven type of blended cement containing ground granulated blastfurnace slag. Concrete made with ACC PSC has a higher density than concrete made with OPC, and hence it improves the durability of concrete structures.
It can, therefore, be used for all purposes where OPC or PPC is used.
