Important advantages of using minerals (5) in cement

Minerals are having their own advantages if using it with Cement

Fly ash

  • Increases structural protection and toughness

  • Increases resistance to toxic threats

  • Better workability

Blast furnace slag

  • Improved stability

  • Increased setting time

  • Strength benefit lasts for a long time

  • Reduced chance of alkali-silica reaction injury

  • Impervious to chloride and sulphate threats

Silica fumes

  • Better compressive power and abrasion resistance

  • Reduced chloride ion permeability

  • Improved workability

  • Cuts down on bleeding

Rise husky ash

  • Reduced heat of hydration in concrete

  • Reduced permeability in concrete

  • Improved resilience to chloride and sulphate attacks

Metakaolin

  • Improved compressive and flexural strength

  • Reduced permeability

  • More chemically tolerant

  • Durability is improved.
