Moderate Sulphate Resisting Cement (MSRC) Type II

Description

General-purpose Portland cement with moderate sulphate resistance, ideal for concrete exposed to soils and groundwater with moderate sulphate content.

Product Description

Moderate Sulphate Resisting Cement (MSRC), commonly known as ASTM C 150 Type II, is a versatile Portland cement designed for general construction where moderate protection against sulphate attack is required. By limiting the tricalcium aluminate (C3A) content to no more than 8%, this cement significantly reduces the risk of sulphate-induced expansion and deterioration, ensuring long-term durability for structures in contact with soil and groundwater.

Key Features

Enhanced Durability: Specifically formulated to resist moderate sulphate environments, preventing structural damage over time.
General Purpose: Suitable for a wide range of construction applications where standard cement may be susceptible to sulphate attack.
Controlled Composition: C3A content capped at 8% to minimize vulnerability to sulphate ions.
Flexible Supply: Available in bulk or 1.5-ton jumbo bags to suit various project scales.

Recommended Applications

MSRC is the preferred choice for foundations, footings, and structural concrete that will be in direct or indirect contact with soils or groundwater containing moderate levels of sulphates. It is also suitable for general building works where environmental conditions pose a moderate risk of sulphate exposure.
